Picture this, a wide table in a fancy restaurant with dim lights and a cosy atmosphere. Sitting at the table are 5 people whom you've never met before, and you're about to meet someone who could either change your life forever or just have a cool little chat with. That is Timeleft, and they've finally made it to Cairo!
Timeleft basically fights big-city loneliness through real-life social experiences. Every Wednesday in over 275 cities around the world, they get to introduce strangers to each other who share the same interests at a cosy dinner outing. Unlike popular assumptions, Timeleft is not a dating app. It simply provides an appropriate atmosphere to make new connections with interesting people worldwide!
Their algorithm is designed so that each group will have a balanced mix of men and women, typically three men and three women at each table. They also guarantee a smooth outing by making sure that there is a maximum of a 10-year age gap between the youngest and the oldest in the group.
Timeleft also respects your privacy; personal contact information is never shared with other members. Anything that you share is totally up to you, but dinner is a great opportunity to get to know your group and disclose as much or as little as you would like!
So, how does it work? After creating an account, you'll dive into a personality test that allows their matching algorithm to find the perfect group for you. You also get to pick the specific areas in Cairo you'd like to go out in and how much you're willing to spend at a restaurant.
Once you've booked and secured your spot, you will get a confirmation email where you can double-check the information and the date. On Tuesday, when registrations close, they send you all the information about your group, including the spoken language and average age.
Then, on the day of the event, you will then receive a notification with your restaurant info via the app. Finally, after the evening, they ask you for your feedback to improve each experience.
If you loved the experience and would like to try it multiple times a month, they also provide subscription-based packages, allowing you to get a hand in some savings while also enjoying your time!
