Leaving the comfort of your house sounds almost impossible during the first week of Ramadan. We understand that after Iftar, all you want to do is lay on your couch and watch the endless Ramadan commercials and long-awaited shows, but we are here to tell you that you’d be missing out on some insanely fun and Halal events! So, this weekend, finish your after-Iftar tea and enjoy the Ramadan aura out on the streets of Cairo with the joyous events we have found for you.

Thursday

Readings in the City at Darb 1718

This event is for Cairo’s philosophers and thinkers; Darb 1718’s community-curated exhibition of the season is all about our beloved city. The show opens the door to questions regarding whether we truly have a sense of belonging and how we see our city. 32 students from the faculty of applied arts will answer these questions through contemporary artworks.
