The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

With sportswear
brands all over Cairo, you can easily find high-quality clothing by trusted brands
like Adidas and Nike. However, with so many options to choose from all over
Cairo, it can be hard to have a comprehensive shopping experience.  

With
branches in Mohandiseen and Nasr City, Sports Mall provides sports shoppers
with reliable products and prices, all under one, big roof. The Nasr City branch on El Batrawy Street – metres
away from Genena Mall with its many sports outlets – lives up to the challenge
with a huge variety of products displayed on two floors.

The mall
can be mistaken for a huge gym once you enter; it showcases sports machines
like treadmills that can reach 7000LE and yoga mats that come in a variety of brands
and prices. You can also find a Foosball table for 2090LE and a pool table for
5800LE.

The first
floor also features sports basics like tennis rackets starting at 90LE up to 700LE,
Adidas football balls (150LE) and everything from diving equipment to weights.
You can also find a collection of colourful practical backpacks in very good
fabric materials and a variety of designs. A Nike waterproof grey and pink bag (230LE)
stood out in particular, with lots of pockets and solid padding that would protect
its contents.

While it
can be convenient for sports accessories or for stocking up a gym, the Sport’s
Mall’s true offerings are on its second floor. That’s where all the discounts
on clothes and footwear are. The categorized items laid out the vast empty space
make it easier to browse through and have your pick. A men’s knitted jumper
starts at 151LE, while Adidas t-shirts are available in many colours for around130LE.

In the
women’s section, an Adidas waterproof hot pink sweatshirt (390LE) can
look especially modern with the matching pink, grey and red lined scarf (59LE).
Undershirts in cotton and Lycra are also available: a cotton long-sleeved
undershirt starts from 78LE and leggings cost 63LE. The shop also has some swimwear
left from last season (248LE and above) for the one-piece, and they also have
swimsuits for veiled women ranging in the same prices.

The
footwear department has much variety of choices and sizes; you can get a pair
of high-top Converse sneakers (120LE) and a smart-casual pair of men’s brown shoes
(277LE). They usually have sales in that section as well. Just beside the
footwear section is a small department for kids and babies featuring a handful
of baby t-shirts and a cute Adidas hat in size zero (100LE).       

It’s almost
impossible to leave Sports Mall empty-handed. The variety of clothing and
sports brands makes shopping for sports gear much easier.
