Review:

Separate from the rest of Cairo with three bridges leading into it, Gezira Island (better known as Zamalek) is in central Cairo and is surrounded by the Nile River. Visitors to the area can see the Cairo Tower, the Egyptian Opera House, the El Sawy Culture Wheel, and the Gezira Sporting Club, which is the oldest club in Egypt. Sporting clubs in Cairo offer sports, such as basketball, golf, tennis, and swimming. They also have large playgrounds and beautiful grounds for walking through. Guests can visit the grounds when they are accompanied by a member and with the purchase of a day pass. There are many fine shops and street venders found throughout Gezira Island. People are friendly and the area is beautiful.
