This skyscraper complex houses accommodation, the Four Seasons Hotel and Alexandria's newest shopping centre. Arranged on several floors, you can find everything at prices that are, however, higher than the city as a whole. Fashion, beauty, pharmacy, optics, food: it has the advantage of bringing together all the services required in one place. Several restaurant signs, a cinema on the top floor and an amusement park for children. The shopping centre is one of the Alexandrians' family outings!

Commercial gallery of the Four Seasons in Giza, The First Mall includes 57 boutiques of internationally known brands. A beautiful part also for young Egyptian designers and craftsmen. You will thus appreciate the oriental inspiration of the jewels of the creator Azza Fahmy, the official shop of the bazaar of Khan El Khalili or the accessories and decorative objects of the Tanis and Mabrouk shops. Once you have walked through the two floors of the First Mall, come to La Gourmandise to appreciate the menu of Cairo's most prominent French brasserie.

Enjoy a Brazilian coffee standing by the marble counter, just like in 1930! But you can also sit as if you were in the 2020s! There's a good selection of coffees to choose from: short, long, cappuccino... The store also offers delicious pastries to accompany your beverage, making it hard to resist. You can also buy coffee powder or beans for personal consumption. Relaxed atmosphere: you'll want to sit back and read a book, or just smell the sweet aroma.

Art Deco woodwork for this establishment located on the ground floor of the Metropole Hotel. The café has preserved its patina, it perfectly reflects the Alexandria of yesteryear. A good chocolate accompanied by a croissant, and that's it for breakfast. But you come here at any time of the day for a treat, a drink, a cocktail or to eat in a brasserie spirit, in the Egyptian style. Salads, soups, grilled meats, pastas, pizzas, fries, sandwiches: there's bound to be something for you à la carte. Attentive service.

Nice view of the square and the old port in the distance. For a classic breakfast or a late afternoon tea. Impressive selection of pastries, each one as good as the next! Here we love the cream, coatings, toppings and coulis that coat almost all the cakes and even the viennoiseries (their interpretation of pain au chocolat is... very chocolaty everywhere!). Chocolate specialities and a beautiful selection of oriental pastries that you can buy to take away, why not for a souvenir gift?

It would be unwise to get into one of the ascents without expecting a few nibble and a bottle of water. These precautions are not worth the summit itself where kids will wait for you with ice drinks… for high rates (the height, probably). Also go to the bakery make some provisions.

Ice cream concept in the fashion of Alexandria that has developed on both sides of the city. Served in jars and cones, the ice cream specialities have different flavours that can be enhanced with roasted nuts, honey or qeshta (thick cream). Mango, lemon or mastica, fruit ice-creams are to our taste the best, but the sweet tooth will be tempted by the shabah: rice cake, topped with ice cream, nuts, honey and qeshta! Choose the size that suits you, to be enjoyed while walking along the cornice.

Large shopping mall at the exit of the city where you will find everything you need for shopping and a huge Carrefour for food. The big international brands have taken their place there alongside local brands. Beauty salons, pharmacies, banks and a plethora of fast-food outlets, cafés and restaurants. There is also a state-of-the-art cinema and a "Magic planet", including an indoor playroom, rides and entertainment for children. Very American in concept but it can be a bit of a fixer-upper.

This teaches several shops in the city and makes the happiness of those who live almost love and fresh water.

Gourmet or not, a visit to this Syrian patisserie is a must. We suggest you drop in before you leave to pick up a few Oriental-scented sweets. The choice here is immense. Oriental pastries with evocative names: kounafas (with vermicelli dough), semolina-based basboussas, baklawas, but also huge cakes full of cream, covered with colorful fruit and wrapped in brightly colored ribbons, petits-fours and stuffed sweets... Also ice creams. Yum!
