Since it is not easy to find a cafè with a stable internet connection or one that is quiet enough to focus on work, Cairo has over the past years become a host to several co-working spots across the city, which are helping many people become more productive.
Co-working spaces became more popular recently as the ideal location for group work. Many starting entrepreneurs opt for these spaces to work on their businesses, not only since co-working spaces are a great place to work but because they also often provide networking opportunities with other businesses.
