The Cookware Zamalek – A Brief History

The cookware zamalek is one of Cairo’s most prestigious and fancy neighbourhoods, separated from Giza by a thin thread of the Nile. The area has lots of history to tell through its architecture, culture and a sense of public space. It has been shaped by plenty of social changes and transformations that Egypt went through over the past century, and it has created its own identity.

The neighbourhood’s story starts with the 1952 Egyptian coup d’etat and the overthrow of King Farouk. It was at that point when the new political elites started to purchase land in Zamalek. As a result, the composition of the neighbourhood’s residents changed over time.

During the 1970s, more class-based changes took place in the neighbourhood as the old elites had to sell their estates. As a result, new economic classes started to move in, buying up the houses that were secured by the old elites of Zamalek.

The same process was witnessed by the cultural scene, with more young artists and intellectuals moving in to the neighbourhood to get their hands on the new opportunities that it was offering. The neighbourhood’s cultural scene got a boost as a result, and the idea of Zamalek as a posh neighbourhood that offered lots of opportunities to its residents started taking shape.

Situated in a central location, Zamalek Serviced Apartments By Brass Bell is within walking distance of the free standing concrete Cairo Tower and is just over 3 km from the centre of Cairo. The nearest airport is Cairo International, which can be reached in a 21-minute car ride.
