Egypt’s first dog cafe opens

Ola Loutfi has two dogs and could not find any places to go to with her four-legged friends and meet other dog owners. So she opened the Dog Cafe in 6 October City in Giza governorate in May.

Inspired by her son's company that sells nutritious cooked meals for dogs and cats, she came up with the idea to establish the first cafe for dogs in Egypt.

“I always dreamt to have my own coffee shop to serve guests good quality coffee and snacks in a comfortable and friendly environment accompanied by their pets,” Loutfi told Al-Monitor. “My dream has come true.”

At the cafe, dogs can enjoy a special menu that includes a main course, snacks and balanced foods together with their owners who can order a cup of coffee, fresh juices and sandwiches or salads.
