About

Konafa, basbousa and rice pudding made daily; the cream-filled konafa sells out by evening.

It is about a 13-minute walk from the Sphinx entrance, on Saqqara Road. Run by the same family since 1986, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.

This is a fictional demo listing used to show how Giza Spot presents a place.
