Post new topic

Guestposter36

Hello everyone!!
I've been living in Heliopolis for about 9 months now, and I'm bored out of my mind! I think i've been everywhere here! Are there any interesting/new locations I can go with friends other than the obvious places here?!
Thanks in advance! :)

The italian circus "Belucci circus" is @ fifth settlement. Good and worth the visit.
Its every day @ 5.00 & 8.00pm

I live @ helioplis for more than 20 years now. I don't know where did you go there !!?

Im not into the clubbing scene. I like going to cafes, restaurants, stuff like that. Ive been to tivoli, oasis, korba, city stars, and sun city.

hi :)

i would recommend to try an egyptian scheme cafes in old cairo like "elhussien" or dwontown (alborsa) there you will find a punch of cafes with unique atmosphere make sure to have company with you to avoid being hit on :)),
enjoy

I think you've been to most of good cafes in Helioplis,If you like going running, there is a running event every Friday morning in a differnt place in cairo...its fun and lots of people join it, also hanging out with new company may help :)
have a nice day

ahmad91

Yes,I was talking about cairo runners :D, its very nice, I went once in "Madinaty" and it was awesome, and am looking forward to go again. "Aquapark" proposal is good too. Its a nice water park.

Got out of Heliopolis and now on a Nile cruise!! Absolutely breathtaking and highly recommended :)
Thanks again everyone for all your recommendations :)

Caty in Cairo

My last nile cruise was about 10 yrs ago and since then I dreamed of going again.
How is it? I ve heard since there are onlya few tourists the banks of the nile are a bit neglected, full of rubbish. And also the cruise ships are almost empty?

Hello Caty!
The cruise was great! Since there were not that many people in Luxor and Aswan we were able to enjoy every part of it as we pleased without being rushed. My friends and I were on the Sonesta St. George Cruise Ship, which was amazing, and I highly recommend it.The ship was pretty empty, we were about 60 people total. The only thing that I wish I did differently was to go during a different time of the year-it was absolutely blazing hot! :)

Hi miss_aquarius,

It is really nice to hear that you had that much fun on your Nile cruise and your visit to Luxor and Aswan.

I guess now and for a quite long time you will be no longer bored in Heliopoils :D

Cheers,
MO.
