The Sound of Familiarity

I was sitting in the Global Reading Room in our university and working on my history assignment. sitting, there plying at my keyboard, taking down notes, underlining important points and highlighting keywords when my mind randomly starts buzzing with the tune of some long-forgotten music. At first, it is a faint hum of the tune and then it became more and more pronounced. Taaanaanna na na na na...

and then it grew louder and louder and then so loud that it is no longer in my head, it has forced itself out of the shackles of my mind and is now resonating out of my laptop. the faint, intangible hum has wriggled out of my body and is now a song. like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon. and it now presents itself before me, the butterfly of the song, flashing the wings of its ostentatiously beautiful lyrics on the faded screen of my laptop.

"Akkare Maathadi Pooje Maadi Anthovne Maadevaaaa... Ughe! Ughe! Elu Male Myaleli Kunthanavva...."

What is the name of the song? ...what is it? is it elu male myaleli...? no, it doesn't seem like it. must be hange kuniro hinge kuniro? And i glance at my screen, scenes from a film keep changing in quick succession. the image of a distinctively strong man of dusky complexion, ruffled hair, and stern expressions is constant in all photos. Shivanna. and then like the apricity of the morning sun, enveloping the body in a blanket of warmth, my mind is embraced tightly with memories from a past, long lost and forgotten. they hug me. and i scramble to hug them back, it is a long, tight embrace.

"Beta zara is taraf aajao"

"en akka? - uh haan didi-"

And like a tree recoiling at the strike of lightning, i crack back into consciousness. I move aside to let the didi sweep the carpet underneath and i am pulled out of my lucid dream and yanked back into reality. I glance out of the window and I see the flagpole- the silken flag majestically fluttering away. Elu male myaleli is still resonating from the laptop as i continue to stare at the flag. for once, this feels like my flag. my flag, my country, i belong here. This place, this college, the people, the trees, the building are all mine. it is my college and this is me.

“Come fight the serpent! Fight Bida!”

From the ground, his soldiers hissed in reply, giving their assent for the fight to continue without them. Emboldened, the terrorist continued: “I heard this squad of pigeons is led by the greatest warrior of Wagadou. Reveal yourself, my friend!” he sneered. “Let’s see how great you are. Are you a man or a bitch?”

Siya and Maadi locked eyes and grinned. Maadi beat his chest three times—a sign of challenge acceptance—but it was Siya who threw her bow and arrow to the forest floor, leaped from the tree branch, and landed on her feet in front of the enemy.

She straightened up from her bent knees, unwrapped the scarf from her head and tied it around her waist. Her thickly locked hair fell down to her back as she unsheathed her favorite dagger—the one she called “Princess.”

Siya smiled at the oaf. “A bitch, sir.”

[Image ID: A poem by Aaron El Sabrout entitled King Krule & Mexican Street Sounds & Medicine Tea. The title and author appear before the poem. The poem reads:

‘Leaves barely shivering in the thickening stillness,

just to show that they’re alive & they drink too.

The tree with the knobbly spiked flower dick

doesn’t question its embodiment—it just bodies.

It is just body. What if my body was just a body?

A motorcycle revving in the alleyway/

a masculinity built on gasoline.

Who does gender serve?

Not me, on the toilet at 4 AM

in the blue moonlight. Not a body

wracked with sweat shivers, not

the chub rub that welts slickly

between sticky thighs.

A hudhud cries midday, that danker morning,

calls me back to dusty Maadi lunch-as-breakfast

baisilla & bouftek & cucumber spears. “I was born

in seconds, do you feel me?” Somehow I cobble

this identity together in objects: this mug from

the grand canyon, this bathrobe from Winners.

But they fall apart, rotate in & out.

I too rotate in & out of bodies, out of selves,

first Pokémon t-shirt, sombrero & banana,

now notebook & paint jeans & glasses,

and then?

On the beach the wannabe Maya head

and the somewhere-maybe pyramid

are still sand, sloughing into the sea.’ /End ID]

Japanese Botanical Garden: Forgotten Cairo Heritage Park

It’s a

hectic and bustling city that we live in. On every street corner we are bombarded

by billboards and neon signs, and crossing the crowded streets is a challenge only

slightly inferior to the average assault course. In a

city like Cairo it is not that difficult to lose your Zen. If you want to

restore it, head for a visit to the

Japanese botanical gardens in Helwan.

At first

glance, the Japanese Botanical Garden seems like your average park with a

kiosk, a playground for kids and some trees; yet there are some interesting

features here. The park was created in 1917 by Zulfiqar Pasha, who was the Grand

Chamberlain of Egypt at the time. This honorary role carried with it a symbolic

duty to look after the royal household. Back in those days, Helwan was an

affluent neighbourhood famous for its hot sulphur springs. For many of Cairo’s

aristocrats, including King Farouk, it was the perfect place for weekend

getaways.

The park

is divided into two parts. The right side from the entrance is situated on a

hill whereas the left side is completely flat. The right side is the most

interesting part. As soon as you enter and look to your right, you will see a

huge Buddha face carved out of a rock. If you walk up from here, you reach a

plateau where a fountain with three little elephants is situated. The fountain,

as like most waterways in this park, is dry. Right next to it is a Japanese

cottage where you can rest on some of the benches.

From

here on, keep walking straight up the hill until you come across what used to

be a lake surrounded by at least 30 Buddha statues. A little research revealed

that this used to be a very nice lake with vegetation all around. However, the

dried up spot today makes the place look rather creepy. The abandoned palace-turned-hospital

across the park, which is haunted according to urban legend, emphasises this

whole image. Above the lake with the Buddha statues is another Japanese cottage

functioning as a panorama.

The

other side of the park also has a lake, which was half empty at the time of our

visit. A collection of paddle boats stacked next to the lake are proof that

once upon a time the park might have been in better condition than it is now.

Next to a little bamboo forest there is a big smiling Buddha statue. At the end

of the park is another Japanese cottage with benches. To the right of that is a

children’s playground with swings and a carousel. Apart from the bamboo, there

aren’t many typical Japanese flowers or trees to be found.

The

garden is easy to reach by public transport. You can take the metro to the last

station on the Helwan line. When exiting the station, take a left and walk four

blocks down. By car just follow the Maadi Corniche to the end. Take a left at

the King Farouk Corner Museum after the second army checkpoint and keep going

straight until the roundabout. Take the second exit from the roundabout and

then take the fourth left and you’ll arrive at the garden within three minutes.

The entrance fee costs only 2LE for Egyptians and foreigners.

Visiting

this abandoned garden is definitely recommended. After all, it is the only

Japanese botanical garden in the Middle East and that in itself makes this a very

unique attraction. The garden also gives a glimpse into Egypt’s rich (though

now neglected) cultural past.

Best Cafes for Studying & Coworking in Cairo

The Mohandessin branch of Arabeya is an oasis of calm in the bustling city of Cairo. Underneath the canopy, in the serene, leafy courtyard at Arabeya, is an ideal place to spread your books out and study, chat to friends and teachers, have a cup of shai in between classes. However, as lovely as it is, the Mohandessin courtyard isn't the only place that is an enticing learning and study space in Cairo.

Cairo, the city of cafes, has a never ending supply of spots to knuckle down with an aseer mango, qawha mazboot, or delicious snack to motivate you to get your books out. A hot cup of coffee in one hand. A new pen in the other. Quiet enough that you can hear your own thoughts, but not so quiet that you are afraid that everyone around you can hear breathe. Finding quiet nooks, green spaces, and a nice cup of coffee can make all the difference to your study habits and well-being.

Having studied at both Tahrir Square and Mohandessin branches in our time at Arabeya, here are a few of our favorite places to study and co-work in Cairo:

Diwan Bookstore

Diwan is a classic study spot in Cairo and is high on everyone's list. It's quiet, calm and has a wide selection of coffee and snacks. It's by far one of the most famous and most beloved bookstores in Cairo, and studiers can browse through books in

Arabic, English and other languages on study breaks.

Wifi? No

Area: Zamalek

Link: https://www.facebook.com/diwanbookstore/

Cairo Opera

The Opera is not commonly listed as a good study spot, but it's one of our favorites. It's calm, filled with some of the best grass in town, and its small café has all the essentials. You can hunker down outside with your Al-Kitaab or Kallimini bi Arabi books, and then catch a show or an art exhibition at night.

Wifi? No

Area: Zamalek

Link: http://www.cairoopera.org/?lan=En

Sufi Café

If you are into shabby chic vibes, with lofty ceilings and mismatched antiques, Sufi Cafe is the place for you. Usually never very busy during the day, the soothing background noise of gentle chatter and the soft light through tall windows makes Sufi cafe one of my favorite places to study and the internet is good too. Tucked away in a beautiful old building just off Brazil Street in Zamalek, it offers responsibility priced juice and coffee, traditional breakfasts, and a hearty bowl of pasta among other dishes on the menu. And if you hang around long enough, the energy transforms from sleepy cafe to cool coffee shop, with neighbouring cafes beginning to spill into the street, serving coffee, tea and shisha late into the night alongside games of backgammon when you’re ready to switch off egyptian style.

Wifi? Yes

Area: Zamalek

Link: https://www.facebook.com/Sufibookstoreandmore/

Holm

Just down the road from Beano’s cafe and the Dutch Cultural Institute Library (both great study spaces!) in Zamalek, Holm is a small cafe a little different from your usual Egyptian cafes. Oozing more Scandi vibes, with two floors, and a huge bay window seat (for those lucky enough to grab it) looking out onto leafy, green trees, Holm isn’t the cheapest option in Cairo, but definitely one with delicious food and a calm atmosphere. The menu serves healthy juices, beetroot lattes, date and coffee breakfast smoothies, salads and even has some vegan cake options! Maybe a little pricey compared to other cafes in Cairo, it’s worth the extra couple of LE for healthy food and a good spot to study once in a while.

Wifi: Yes, (not the most reliable however)

Location: Zamalek

Link: https://www.instagram.com/holm_cafe/?hl=en

Falak

Falak is a cute hipstery cafe in Garden City, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It has both a good bowl of pasta, a good cup of coffee and a wide juice selection. In addition to being a good open-air place to study, it’s also a bookstore, jewelry shop and stationery store. We highly recommend you check it out at night!

Wifi? Yes

Areas: Garden City

Link: https://www.facebook.com/Falakbooksandartworks/

Room Art Space

Room is a basement café tucked in a corner in Garden City. With a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, breakfast and lunch foods, including healthy options, it's a great place to spend a day studying (then spend a night karaoke-ing or playing board games!). For the non-health conscious- make sure to check out their banana rolls- also known as banana bliss *drools* - which is a great reward for a long day of studying.

Wifi? Yes

Area: Garden City

Link: https://www.facebook.com/roomartspace/

Bardo Clubhouse

A treehouse, guys, a treehouse!! Who doesn't want to study in a treehouse? Clubhouse is a cute, tiny greenspace tucked away in Maadi. It's blocks away from the metro station and worth the hike from Mohandiseen for a day of study in the grass and sun.

Wifi? No

Area: Maadi

Link: https://www.facebook.com/bardoclubhouse/

Oldish

Just around the corner from the Tahrir Square Arabeya branch and AUC bookshop, Oldish is a cafe/restaurant ideal for students. With a huge menu serving practically every drink and meal under the sun, the atmosphere is remarkably relaxed considering it being so near to one of the busiest squares in Cairo. While it has a small seating area facing the road, once you go through the entrance, continue into the back where a large courtyard offers plenty of seating and outdoor fans! Or if you’re looking for something a bit chillier, up the stairs from the courtyard is a cosy restaurant with great Aircon. Grab a seat immediately on your left by the window and the bookshelf for the ultimate study space.

Wifi: Yes

Location: Downtown

Link: https://www.facebook.com/oldisheg/

Other cafes and co-working spaces to check out in Cairo:

Here are a few honorable mentions of cafes and co-working spaces in Cairo that we haven't had a chance to check out yet!

- Dutch Flemish Institute, Zamalek (nice, cool library for studying without distractions)

-Antique Khan, Zamalek

-icecairo, Downtown/Tahrir

-TBS, Maadi

-Greco Cafe, Maadi

-The District, Maadi

-AlMaqqar, Heliopolis

Come study Arabic!

Whether you're an Arabic student or expat buckling down on your Arabic in cafes, or if you're a digital nomad just passing through, Arabeya has a language class for you!

From advanced fosha for the café-bound Academics, to beginner survival Egyptian colloquial for the backpacker/digital nomad- we have a class to suit every learning goal.

Check out our courses today at: http://arabeya.org/
