Sports Center Gezirah Sporting Club, Cairo, Egypt

Sports Center Gezirah Sporting Club was founded in 1882 on the island district of Zamalek in Cairo, Egypt and was formerly called Khedivial Sporting Club. With a total area of 150 acres, the club is attested as Egypt’s biggest multi-sport facility. It was initially meant for the British Army, and then it was nationalized in 1952 and so attracting many elite Egyptians to be a member of the club. The middle and lower classes were able to join later on after the aristocratic asset of the club was turned into a public asset. Basketball, golf, tennis, hockey, polo, swimming, ballet, and fencing are only a few of the sports played at the site.

At present, Sports Center Gezirah Sporting Club offers approximately forty sports to locals and tourists. Most of the close hotels to the club are situated in the city center of Cairo. The St. Regis Cairo and Ramses Hilton are the top picks in the city because of their excellent amenities. In addition to the gym, bar, and spa, the former features an indoor pool and 5 restaurants, while the latter has an on-site casino. Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino, on the other hand, is within Zamalek and features 15 food and beverage outlets. While in the city center, the gorgeous Al-Azhar Park deserves to be visited as it boasts green lawns with fountains and pristine gardens. The City Stars, a shopping mall in the 6th of October City and the Giza Zoo in Giza will make someone’s stay more enjoyable.
