Lifestyle:

One an average Egyptian makes is a sarcastic note concerning his financial status he would say; "I do not own a villa in Zamalek to afford so and so." clearly stating the significance of the neighborhood and the financial welfare of its residential crowd. Zamalek is also known for its large masses of foreign populations and ambassadors that favored this unique island for residential and business purposes.
Although the fact that this huge number of foreign ambassadors and their presence in the area resembles feelings of discomfort to the Zamalek residents due to their polluting guards and the neighborhood's strong law application especially in traffic issues like parking, honking and one way streets.
Another social aspect about Zamalek is the sporting clubs especially Gezira sporting club where almost all of Zamalek's citizenry gather just for the sake of it or to play their favorite sports (most common are tennis and golf) or take their kids for some quality time.
Zamalek also stands out as one of Cairo's very alive areas; by day shopping in Zamalek could be nice and spending time in one of Zamalek's luxurious hotels would be fantastic.
Staying in these hotels till nighttime is also worth it as they and actually the whole of Zamalek offers great night entertainment.

Crime rate: almost unmentionable a very low crime rate accentuating the neighborhood's most common description; classy.

Population: Zamalek's population in terms of person per square kilometer is increasing rapidly, that is a consequence of the deficiency of construction land in the island and the substitution of normal horizontal growth with vertical high rises.

Nightlife:
a night out in Zamalek would be remarkable, the island offers a wide variety of places to go and things to do.
Anything from the average coffee shop going through bars, pubs and restaurants up to the most exotic clubs in the country can be found in Zamalek and with numbers.
