On the western bank of the River Nile — directly across from Downtown Cairo — lies a district known as Dokki. The long-established neighbourhood is home to more than 50 foreign embassies as well as one of the city’s most renowned schools, the German Deutsche Evangelische Oberschule Kairo (DEO). It is believed that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein lived in Dokki during his political exile from Iraq between 1959 and 1963, during which time he was best remembered for picking fights with locals at coffeeshops and restaurants.
