Skating in Tahrir Square

Egypt's skateboarding and rollerblading enthusiasm was born out of lockdown tedium and quickly spread from city to city as one of the nation's fastest-growing trends.

In Cairo, the rollerskating community has increased substantially over the last two years to raise awareness of the sport and show off the beauty of Egyptian venues such as Tahrir Square.
