Iman Sameh, whose husband did not want her to go to cafes and risk harassment by men, found an entrepreneurial solution: opening her own cafe just for women.
Women-only cafes have recently become quite popular in Egypt, but Sameh’s was the first to open in Upper Egypt's conservative Luxor province. The Pink Cafe offers a venue for Luxor women to go out and have fun without risking criticism from their conservative community.
