The 111
year old, par 70 golf course, the first in Egypt, was once
also its best. Before the Nasser Era, it was an 18 hole
course used only by British nationals. In 1906, the club
members requested from the government to won the club, but
were refused. Instead, they were allowed to lease the club
for 60 years. In 1951, it was converted into a public club
and 9 of its 18 holes were lost to the youth club.
Fortunately, it is still possible to play 18 holes with a
bit of maneuvering.
