  1. Citystars Centre

    Cairo’s most lavish mall is the current landing spot for every new international chain, from Starbucks to Wagamama.

    Sednaoui

    One of Cairo's prime early-20th-century department stores. Nationalised in 1961, its display cases are now stocked with a weird, almost tragic assortment of third-rate goods. But the place still sports its gorgeous three-storey atrium interior.

    Beymen

    This Turkish department store is the last word in luxury shopping in Cairo, stocking Prada et al alongside its chic house brand. There’s a disproportionately huge selection of scarves and perfume, and great people-watching in the cafe.

    Nakumatt Supermarket

    Close to the Likoni ferry, with an astounding selection of provisions, drinks, consumer goods and hardware items - just in case you need a TV, bicycle or lawnmower to go with your groceries.
