DOWNTOWN CAIRO -- 2

 DESIGNED TO BE THE PARIS OF THE EAST

The Radio Cinema was opened in 1948. 

This impressive cinema features a large office block above the entrance and retail spaces on either side. 

One passes beneath a towering original neon-ornamented vertical sign tower and marquee which appears to be partly original and partly a fairly recent Post-Modern Neo-Classical redo.
