What do you think about the creativity for the entrepreneurs? Is it the main key to have a successful startup? Creativity is the most vital element for entrepreneurs, and they often spend much effort and time to find the best solutions. Creative thinking needs a conducive atmosphere that encourages entrepreneurs to brainstorm and come up with mind-blowing ideas.
In the beginning, entrepreneurs were taking a corner in coffee shops to do their innovative process. Still, the required capabilities are not highly existing in the coffee shops, which originated the need for places to have a comfortable and flexible work environment with high-speed internet, and opportunities to network and collaborate. These spaces are called coworking spaces.
We aim to highlight the top coworking spaces for entrepreneurs around Egypt.

The most common topics that are often recognized in AlMaqarr are entrepreneurship, project management, public speaking skills, presenting skills, and many other key skill developments.
AlMaqarr consists of independent rooms, conference rooms, and lecture halls. The entire space fits up to 120 people, and each separate room fits around 15 people. Furthermore, AlMaqarr has four branches, and 3 of them exist in Cairo in different places, which gives the members the access to use the provided facilities among different locations to save the time and effort of transportation.
