Eid-el Fitr is all about enjoying a nice cup of tea or Shay b Laban after a long month of fasting.
It is about spending time with the family in the morning while watching non-stop TV screen old Ahmed Helmy and Adel Emam’s movies, and who better feature a movie marathon than Rotana Cinema?
It is also about visiting friends and spending some quality time with them, relaxing and enjoying a long vacation, or perhaps just indulging in the beauty of Cairo and its history.
However you are feeling this eid, we have got you these few ideas on how to spend your Eid vacation.
Cozy Family Day
First things first, eid is usually about spending a nice cozy day in with the family while watching a few good old movies and enjoying the super delicious grand meal!
The TV does not stop playing Ahmed Helmy and Adel Emam’s old movies all day long and who better than Rotana Cinema to sponsor a true movie marathon!
Movies in Theaters
Later in the day, you can head to the movies and watch one of the newest hits in theaters while enjoying a delicious bucket of popcorn with your loved ones. (There are a few really exciting ones)
Sports/Card games
Are you not a movie person or simply not feeling it? How about you enjoy a good game of paddle or racket. How about some card games like “2oul a meme” or “Phase 10” and maybe even a classic monopoly game with the family on a sunny eid morning.
Historical Cairo
If you’re looking for a change and want to spend your eid in an artistic unconventional way, then make sure to take a stroll in Cairo’s beautiful and lively neighborhoods. You’ll take great pictures and feel the true eid vibes for sure. You can head to El Moez Street or old Cairo and get the true feels of it!
Old Plays
We remember watching the old plays all day long on TV with our grandparents during eid!
Is this a tradition or what?
Some out-of-this-world and impossible to miss plays are:
العيال كبرت، مدرسة المشاغبون، الابندا، عفرتو، سك على بناتك
Road Trip
You can pack your backpack, grab your friends or family, and hit the road! Whether Sahel or Sokhna, the weather will be magnificent and you’ll surely spend a great vacation on the beach.
