We have lived to see yet another week with bearable weather in Cairo before the capital's hot summer hits! So, make use of this blessing and pick an event or a party to go to from the selection of happenings that we've chosen to include in this week’s weekend guide.
Thursday
Stand Up Night at Room Art Space Garden City
Our favourite thing about dark humor is that it not only helps us laugh at our misery but that it's also just the right coping mechanism. This Thursday, a lineup of hilarious comedians will be taking the stage to help you laugh your heart out in a night titled “Life Is a Joke”, which is clearly dedicated to cynical jokes and grim giggles.

Mind the Gap at Ubuntu Art Gallery
A true patriot supports all local artists and Eman Hussein is a real Egyptian talent that will mesmerise you with her artwork. Her use of color and abstract designs are influenced by her background in architecture, making the outcome of this mix naturally beautiful masterpieces. The art exhibit will be open from 7 pm to 9 pm until May 24.
