July 8, 2023

A treat loved by many people, Cairo boasts a wide range of creameries full of different tastes, shapes, and sizes, for people to enjoy.

From Italian gelato to Japanese ice cream, here are some of the most dynamic places all over Egypt to try for new transcendental experiences and flavors.

TAIYAKI JAPANESE ICE CREAM
Instantly recognizable for its fish shape, Taiyaki’s Japanese Ice Cream is the perfect treat to beat Cairo’s scorching heat.

The taiyaki soft-serve fillings range from vanilla to matcha green tea, and more.
