Cinemas Egypt

Films at low prices. Rather male spectators.

The 21-hour sessions are particularly busy.

3 cinemas in good standing.

Inaugurated in 1952, it is one of the oldest cinemas in Alexandria, with orchestra or balcony seats. Obviously the comfort is not that of modern cinemas (seats are a bit rough), but it is one of the cheapest cinemas in the city. It houses 6 cinemas showing films in Arabic and English, it has technology for 3D films and the sound is rather good. Going to the cinema is not the first thing you think about when you visit, but if you are tempted by a movie, don't hesitate to choose this cinema.

A unique arthouse cinema that screens independent films from all over the Middle East as well as from Europe and the United States. It is the lair of auteur cinema that is giving Egyptian cinema back its golden letters. It is frequented by cinephiles and broadcasts different types of productions: films, documentaries, fiction, short and feature films. The admission price is deliberately low in order to encourage a less informed public to discover another cinema than usual. Subtitles in English, and often in French as well.
