Feature: Rasheed22 - a coworking space with a mission, right in the heart of Heliopolis

Rasheed22 intends to be a habitat for social, values-driven entrepreneurs and other active people, looking for a new type of shared inspirational workspace, and a community of like-minded others.

The purpose of a coworking space is to serve diverse needs for workspace, meeting space, community feeling, networking, ...; it wants to be a nurturing ground for new ideas, offer support, questions, and much more.

Like any shared space it is a microcosm reflecting the people and entities it serves.

We are extending an invitation to you, based on the principles of attraction: if our invite and what we do offer speaks to you, you are the right person!

To know what's happening at Rasheed22, like us on facebook and join our mailing list (once it is up and running again).

Experience collaborative work in a new type of work environment!


If you are looking for a meeting space, or quiet workspace, by the hour or the day or week or month, please get in touch - we are here for you.

Basic rates are EGP 50 per day (EGP 10/hour) or EGP 500 for one month access.

Opening hours are Monday to Thursday, and Saturday, from 10am to 2pm.
Signing up for one month access (and paying a deposit) will give you pre and after hour access, too ;-)

The wireless dsl is up and running, so is the landline, you can scan, print, copy, and make yourself a coffee or tea.

There is a kitchen, too, and if needed, you can stay over for a night or two (specific conditions apply for that option).

For more details, and/or to reserve space, please get in touch via cairo.spaces@gmail.com or call us at 02-24154118 during working hours (if no answer, nobody is in ...) or leave a message on the wall at Rasheed22.

To see who are the people in Cairo and the region who are interested in coworking as such, and to connect to them, join our public community on facebook, Cairo.Spaces

Happy New Year!
We have made some progress, i.e. the wireless dsl is working at last, we have acquired some more tables and chairs, the bathroom has been repaired, an oven will be in the kitchen from next week.
But building a hub is a co-creation process, so we are inviting all those interested to join us in the process!

We want to repair doors, paint walls, build new co-working tables, shelves for storage, a community message board, pigeon holes for all hub members, etc etc

If you have something to share, feel free to contact us!
