If you haven’t been to a Suhoor or Iftar event, there are still a little over 10 days left for you to try out these fun experiences. Since all the Ramadan series are coming to an end, we feel like you can now spend these last few days heading to events and not laying on your couch post-iftar. We have compiled all the events that are happening this weekend that can make your last days worthwhile.

Thursday

Randa Fakhry at Picasso Art Gallery

The originality in her execution makes her work stand out, and her latest exhibition will certainly leave you in awe. Randa Fakhry’s use of colours, textures and details have to be seen in person for you to understand the level of skill and talent that she possesses. The exhibition will be available until the 20^th of April, and part of the proceeds will go to charity.

Ehab Tawfik at Layaly HydeOut

His ability to make a song like “Sahrany” and, on the same album, a song as depressing as “El Ayam El Helwa” shows you that Ehab Tawfik is a real diverse artist. Aside from his music being able to keep up with our constantly conflicting emotions, Ehab Tawfik’s songs managed to be a part of every Egyptian’s life. This Thursday, enjoy tasty and delicious Suhoor items as you watch his performance live at Layaly HydeOut.

Sharmoofers at Noisette

Nothing is harder than trying to mouth the words to Sharmoofers’ songs when you have no idea what the chorus says. The words that no one seems to know the meaning of and the immaculate vibes that Sharmoofers are able to bring to the stage with their upbeat music are what we truly love and appreciate about them. Don’t miss a chance to watch them perform all your favourite songs live at Noisette in Mall of Egypt this Thursday.

Reda Abd ElSalam at Dai Gallery

What is the longest time you have spent staring at a painting? We bet Reda Abe ElSalam’s artwork will make you stare a lot longer as you try to understand the messages behind each masterpiece. Try to stop by before the 20^th of April, as the exhibition will only be available until then.
