Skaters of all sorts can be seen cruising the streets of modern-day Cairo. Skateboarders and rollerbladers glide peacefully through the streets, passing the vehicles and people on foot. One might wonder how these skaters maintain balance on such small wheels.

Skating is taught in several fantastic centres in Cairo, making it accessible to people of all ages and skill levels. And the following five places are the best options for skate lessons!

Starting from the bottom, this centre in Giza gradually worked its way to the top. Due to the importance given to your safety, you will begin your training indoors until you feel sufficiently stable to take a roll outside. Everyone, regardless of their skating knowledge, is welcome at Horus Skating.
