The Greek Club, a Downtown Cairo staple that's been around for a century, has officially landed in Dahab. It's the first expansion of the House of the Greek Community in Cairo since its founding - and it comes with big Mediterranean energy.
Backed by Nicholas Vadis, president of the Greek Centre in Cairo, and Antonis Kazamias, vice president and project manager, the new outpost brings a taste of the islands to Egypt's Red Sea coast. It launched with two days of festivities and a guest list that spanned politics, media, and film: Greek Deputy Education Minister Kostas Vlasis, South Sinai Governor Dr. Khaled Mubarak, Greek and Cypriot ambassadors, and Egyptian actors Elham Shahin and Laila Elwi.
Located near Saint Catherine's Monastery, the new club is pitched as a cultural pit stop for Greek and Cypriot tourists - especially pilgrims heading to the UNESCO World Heritage site. The project also ties into South Sinai's larger push to diversify its tourism economy beyond diving and desert tours.
As for the space itself: it's all Greek blue-and-white, with a restaurant, swimming pool, kids' play area, staff accommodations, and an open-air theatre for seasonal performances. Whether you're in it for the food, the folklore, or just a break from resort town repetition, the Greek Club's Dahab debut adds a fresh accent to the scene.
