This 111 year old, 70 par
golf course was the first in Egypt, and 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 acquire 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
