I’m sure you all get bored at some point from going to the Coffee Shops and just hanging with your friends as the fumes of your shisha fill your nostrils. Why, there you go! We have filtered some of the best, most interesting venues with which you can experience Egypt differently and enjoy its beautiful sights and activities.

1. Old Cairo (Masr El Adeema)

2. The Citadel and Khan El Khalili

While it is considered a part of Old Cairo but the Citadel, which contains the exquisite Mohamed Ali Mosque, is also encompassed by the beautiful streets of Al Hussein where you would definitely take a stroll down Khan El Khalili, shop for some of the most beautiful accessories and haggle with the vendors. You could visit Al Azhar Mosque, El Hussain and the old House of El Seheimy. After Having done that you would maybe chill a bit in Ahwet El Fishawy or Zeinab Khatoun Cafe and Restaurant.

3. The Great Pyramids of Giza

A little piece of advice, GO! Enjoy the view and ride those horses or camels. Check out the Sphinx and do not forget to visit the Sun Boat (AKA Khufu Boat). Then, definitely have lunch in Andrea Restaurant. It simply is the BEST!

5. Paint Ball

If you are a big group and are seeking a way to blow off some steam from the stress of working all week, paint balling is the way to go! Get into those waterproof overalls, split into two teams, make a strategy and beat the hell out of your opponents! It really is a lot of fun but try not to aim in unprotected areas.
