Cafés in El-Santa, Al Gharbia Governorate – 1929

This title refers to a scene of cafés in El-Santa, a town in Al Gharbia Governorate, in 1929, during the reign of King Fuad I (1922–1936).

The period was marked by a flourishing of social and cultural life across Egypt between the two World Wars.

Cafés at that time served as vital social hubs, where people gathered to exchange news, discuss politics, and listen to the radio or traditional storytellers.

These cafés ranged from simple rural establishments to more modern urban-style coffeehouses, reflecting the transformation of everyday life and public culture in provincial Egypt during King Fuad’s era.
