About this district

The northern half of Gezira island, sitting in the Nile between the two halves of the city — leafy streets, early twentieth-century apartment buildings, and more than thirty galleries and art spaces within walking distance of each other. Established rooms, experimental spaces and new ones opening in ground-floor flats. You can spend a whole afternoon here without getting into a car.
