There Is Literally a Tree Passing Through This Shop on Road 9

On Sunday, December 10, Maadi witnessed the opening of a new ice cream shop on Road 9 — Gelateria Sociale, funded by Waqfeyat Al Maadi Community Foundation.

What is so special about this store, other than its incredible ice cream, is the fact that they built it around a tree. There is literally a tree passing through the shop.

The shop’s motto is “Ice cream for all,” which isn’t surprising since Waqfeyat Al Maadi funds it — an NGO that is known for its charity work. The aim of this foundation is to reduce the social gap between the rich and the poor in Maadi.

Gelateria Sociale will give you rare chance to enjoy a taste of equality in this world. Everyone is loved and respected there, even the tree!
