Since the loss of the Sherif Street premises the shop has lived a few steps away, on the first floor of 36 Abdel Khalek Tharwat Street. Visitors sometimes write that it is hard to find; it is. Look for the small sign at the entrance of the building and take the stairs.
Upstairs: books in English, German, French and Arabic, mostly on Egypt, travel and photography; Lehnert's photographs on the walls and in the drawers; postcards from the past; ceramics, textiles and gifts chosen for the shop. In a glass cabinet, an antique typewriter and a wooden box camera from the founders.
Allow half an hour. Said, who has worked here since 1976, will know where everything is.
