Most locals shop at the Ma'adi Mall, home to shops, restaurants and a movie theatre. There are many small shops on Rd. 9, featuring jewellery, clothing, electronics, etc. A local farmer's market exists behind the Ma'adi metro station, adjacent to Rd. 9.
[edit][add listing] Eat
Road No. 9 provides a host of restaurants and the gamut of American fast food franchises.
- Lan Yuan. Chinese.
- Lucille's, Road 9 (near Maadi metro station). American diner named after owner Lucille Crooks. Improbably enough, according to Time magazine, they serve what may be the best burger in the entire world; perhaps a small exaggeration, but you'll certainly be hard put to find a better one in Egypt. Just don't expect any pork in your BBQ "bacon" burger.

- Koreanas - 11 Road 18
- Red Onion - 27 Road 276

Ma'adi's location away from both the city center and the Pyramids makes it a poor choice for sightseeing.
