Also wondering if meeting up near the Citadel or downtown is a normal first date or if that's more of a tourist move.

Zamalek or Maadi, coffee first.

Agree, though a ahwa in Heliopolis works just as well if they're based out east.

fair point, a local ahwa keeps it low key & casual. id just avoid picking anything right on a main road, the noise makes talking hard. shisha spots work too if u want something more relaxed

maadi's good but the metro ride back to the east side is long if things go well. coffee on Road 9 works, plenty of quiet spots off the main strip.

tbh apps are pretty common now, but downtown works fine for a first meet, the Citadel feels a bit touristy.

Downtown works, but skip Tahrir Square itself, too crowded.

was there last spring, no need to pre book. foreigners pay around 450 egp now i think, card only at the gate so dont rock up with cash. go right at 8am opening, the mosque terrace is empty & the light is better
