Tired of chasing after your friends, only to go out for a boring night clubbing or sitting in a cafรฉ? Need some me time, but donโt want to end up binge watching 7 seasons of a TV show while pigging out? Worry no more, we got you! Here are 7 things you canย do this weekend to enjoyย some fun alone time.
Go to the Movies
This is by far the most obvious one, but also the mostย perfect. Youโll enjoy a movie and eat pop corn; can you honestly think of anythingย better?
3elbุช Alwaู
You can never go wrong with that place, and quite frankly, we believe itโs the perfect spot for those who appreciate some alone time without really feeling alone. There is always something to do there; whether itโs checking out the gallery, joining a workshop or listening to a band play live music. Trust us, once you’re inside, you will not wish toย leave.
Take a Stroll Down Khan El-Khalili
That place is just beyond magical; you donโt really need company to enjoy the vintage commodities featured there. And if you’re a sucker for shopping, then youโll probably go home quite satisfied with what you bought. The place has everything from key chains and leather bags to beautiful authentic chandeliers.
Go on a Trekking Adventure to Summit Mount Catherine
Seriously, how long have you been putting that off? You keep saying youโll go with your friends or with your family, but the time is never really right for you. Trust me, you donโt need anyone to trek a mountain. The trekking itself is all the enjoyment you need. Pack your bags, book a ticket with one of those event organizers we see on Facebook and embark on a self discovering journeyย that you will never forget. In other words, unleash the adventurer in you!
Read a Book OUTSIDE
There are a lot of awesome bookstores here in Cairo where you could go read a book and drink a perfect cup of coffee. If you’re wondering where to go, then we totally recommend Al Kotob Khan in Maadi. Itโs just very genuine and authentic, and we freaking L.O.V.E IT!
THE Pyramids
You might laugh at the idea and find it kind of silly, but how long has it been since you last visited one of the Seven Wonders of the World? Trust us on this one; just get dressed and head there. We donโt care how many times youโve driven by it, when you go there and see it up close, you will most definitely fall in love all over again. Here’s a bonus: You could ride a horse or a camel if you’re into that kindย of thing!
Explore Downtown Cairo
Nowadays, there are a lot of walking tours onย offer in downtown Cairo, and even if you donโt find any, you should make your own tour. The place is truly mesmerizing, arguablyย better than Europe! Go down there on a Friday morning and maybe stuff your stomach with some super delicious ice-cream from Groppi!
Finally, there is honestly a lot to do in Egypt, and being alone sometimes can be a good opportunity for you to explore a little and get out of your comfort zone. Go ahead and bring some adventure into what you truly should call your “thirsty” life.
