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

Let’s be honest; the popularity of floristry is very much dependent on special occasions and Egypt isn’t exactly a country that finds value in the glory of botany.

While many will spend thousands on flowers and floral design for weddings and other overblown occasions, but a handful of shops in Cairo have not only succeeded in producing quality results, but reinvigorating the pleasures of a vase of flowers or a simple plant, as well as pushing the envelope when it comes to the under-appreciated art of floral design.
