If you enjoy the video, please like, comment and subscribe, I appreciate it, thank youHey folks, driving in Cairo is interesting to watch. It is never boring on the streets of Cairo. For more information subtitles in different languages are available. If you have suggestions or feedback just leave a comment, thank you.
My today's ride starts in Southern Zamalek, through Hadayek el Kobba and comes to an end in El Nozha .
You have to watch out for walking people, taxis, toktok's and especially for (white) microbuses. Their behavior is unpredictable and it can lead to a disaster. Otherwise is driving in Cairo, Egypt a funny and enjoyable thing.

Due to space limitations I will present you one district or another place here in the future.
Today I am introduce the district Hadayek el Kobba.
Hadayek el Kobba (حدائق القبة), is a district in the east of Cairo.
It was once one of the affluent neighborhoods and had numerous villas and extensive gardens.
The “EL Kobba” and “El-Ṭahra” palaces, which are among the largest palaces in Egypt, still bear witness to its importance.
El Kobba palace in the north of an extensive, 70-hectare park was built between 1867 and 1872.
The palace served the Egyptian kings as a residence and the Egyptian president as a presidential palace and as accommodation for state guests. It has 400 rooms.
El Tahra palace was built in the Italian style for Princess Amina in 1927 according to the plans of the Italian architect Antonio Lasciac, which is located in a large garden.
Amina was the daughter of the Khedive Ismail Pasha (reigned 1863-1867).
The villa was purchased in 1939 by King Farouk (reign 1936–1952).
The name of the district goes back to the Mamluk Sultan el-Ashraf Qaitbay (1416-1496).
1477 he bought a plot of land away from the city of Cairo and had a dome-shaped building, el Kobba (القبة), built on it.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, people settled around the dome, so that a small village was created.
In the 19th century, family members from the dynasty of Mohamed Ali Pasha used to build palaces here also.
Hadayek el Kobba is served by Metro Line M1. The names of the stations are called Saray el Kobba, “Hammamat el Kobba”, “Kobri el Kobba”, “Manshiyet el Sadr” and “El-Damerdash”.
