This bar in Cairo has clever designs for its restroom doors. (As a disclaimer the designs are mildly graphic I guess.)

The bar had a Red Hot Chili Peppers cover band that was pretty good. They also had great food, including the best beef I’ve had in Egypt, which is why we went there.

Sometimes when I post pictures of Egypt, people ask how conservative the place is. The answer is that it varies a lot, as demonstrated by this place. West Cairo has a more cosmopolitan vibe than East Cairo on average, but overall it’s a big mix. You’ll see people in niqab, people in bikinis, and you’ll see mosques, churches, bars, etc.

If this is mildly graphic, please don’t check the “world feed”. 😬

Mildly graphic design, you mean. 😂

Nothing wrong with those. Perfect kind of subtlty whereby anyone getting offended is incriminating their own imaginations.

Apparently Egypt is more complicated than I had been told, even by someone who visited.

I like this creative design very much, and human beings will not be replaced by AI, because of human's understanding of human nature and the ability to recreate it.

Oh nice! Haha

Someone give James Bond a heads up.

😎😃

Since there are only two genders, I would guess this bar was ultra conservative? 🤪

That is fascinating when people which i follow put such out of the box posts into the world that brighten the day. Thanks for sharing that info.

Do they take bitcoin?

certainly unique :)

That's one of the beautiful things about Egypt being the crossroads of 3

continents for millenia, it's always had a ton of diversity across so

many things. Whether it's the physical appearances of the people, the

subcultures in different regions, the religious groups, geographies, etc

😅 Hilarious!

Lyn, you're enticing us to visit Egypt 😁 That geographical divide reminds me of Turkey. East Turkey can be very conservative, whereas Istanbul and the west is modern and liberal. Then again, I suppose the US is much the same in its coastal vs interior divisions.

Man what I would give for some pirzola! (That's Turkish lamb chops.) Egypt must have some great local foods too.
