A Short History of HMEM Nubar
HMEM and NUBAR clubs used to exist as two separate entities before they joined forces and united in one single club moving to the current HMEM NUBAR Club’s premises in Heliopolis in 1958. The HMEM Club was founded in Cairo by Hayg Djizmedjian in 1927 (after Alexandria in 1924) and performed its activities at the Nubarian School in Heliopolis, while AGBU’s NUBAR
Club in Shoubra El Balad was founded in 1933 and served the Armenian community of the Shoubra neighborhood.
