1- Start Your Day With Breakfast From Bashandy

Egyptian breakfast and street food are served at Bashandy, or ‘Am Bashandy’, a Nasr City staple that offers pickup or delivery. Bashandy is open around the clock, so whether you’re looking for breakfast at 4 in the morning or 4 in the afternoon, rest assured that you can always satisfy your cravings for fuul, tameya, or gebna ma’lya! They also have an additional location in New Cairo.
2- Enrich Your History Knowledge at Panorama October Museum

This landmark, close to Al Estad, is one of Cairo’s best museums and historical sites for learning about the October War and the Egyptians’ triumphs. The panorama is a memorial dedicated to the victory of the battle, depicting a vast three-dimensional fresco of Egyptian forces breaking through the Bar Lev Line and accompanied by an exhilarating narration detailing the army’s tremendous victories.
3- Spend the Afternoon at Child’s Park

After extensive renovations, this massive park is now one of Cairo’s coolest places to hang out. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants to meet up with friends or get some work done and places to jog, exercise, and picnic in the fresh air. This London-style park in Makram Abeid is sure to become your favourite destination after just one visit!
3- Enjoy the Best Bites of Thailand at Nile Thai Food Restaurant
via Facebook
Although Nasr City may not be Egypt’s unusual culinary spot, it does house this undiscovered treasure nearby! Small and typical, Nile Thai Food Restaurant has tables covered in plastic tablecloths and worn-out wooden chairs. But since their chefs are a combination of Malaysian, Indonesian, and Thai people, get ready for some excellent Thai food! They also take the term “spicy” quite seriously, so order something moderate if you’re not psychologically prepared for numbed taste buds and flushed cheeks!
5- Treat Yourself to Roll-Up Ice Cream at Frozzy Twist
via Facebook
Frozzy Twist, which first opened in Port Said and later expanded to Cairo and other cities, is responsible for popularising roll-up ice cream in Egypt! If you’re in City Stars, you should certainly stop by and try some of their tropical fruit roll-up ice cream flavours or Belgian chocolate.
