The night club scene in Cairo is sparse with long waits to get into the most exclusive night spots. Latex, located underneath the Nile Hilton, is no exception. The walls are covered in broad swathes of white plastic emphasizing a chic, otherworldly feel in one the oldest cities in the world. Music at Latex is predominantly house-styled with DJs brought in locally and internationally. There is a standing "no single men" policy at the club so gentlemen are encouraged to be well dressed and have a member of the fairer sex accompanying them or admittance to Latex will be denied.
