When in 1989 the Khan Khalili Restaurant and Café, run by the Oberoi chain, opened its doors, the café was dedicated to Naguib Mahfouz and named after him.
Located in the heart of Khan el Kahlili, the Naguib Mahfouz Café is a pleasant place to be. Naguib Mahfouz's pictures on the walls, the titles of his books engraved in wood, arabesque décor, comfortable seating areas and a selection of oriental hot and cold drinks invites for more than a snack. It is the friendly atmosphere.
