Rami Attallah great arrangements reflects exactly this atmosphere. Café Groppi is an unlikely symbol of continuity and perseverance during times of transition and was the scene in which to be seen, where political aspirations were born, business deals struck, marriages and divorces negotiated .Cafe Groppi in many ways symbolized Egypt itself: it was a cosmopolitan crossroads, a meeting place where new ideas could be vigorously discussed.
