A community of leaders, professionals, and friends committed to lasting impact — meeting since 1972 at the Maadi Yacht Club, on the banks of the Nile.
The Rotary Club of Cairo South was chartered in 1972 on a simple conviction — that a small group of committed people, meeting regularly over good company and good ideas, can change the shape of a community. More than fifty years on, that conviction has only deepened.
We meet on Sunday evenings at the Maadi Yacht Club, on the banks of the Nile, in a city whose history stretches back five thousand years and whose future is being written every day. Our members are doctors, engineers, lawyers, business owners, educators, and public servants — drawn together by the Rotary motto: Service Above Self.
From health initiatives to literacy programs in our own neighbourhood, from international youth exchanges to the Explore Egypt program that has welcomed Rotarians from around the world — every project carries the same intent: lasting impact, built on lasting friendships.
Our members represent the full breadth of Cairo's professional life — physicians, engineers, lawyers, business leaders, educators, and public servants — bound by friendship and the Rotary motto, Service Above Self.
