Travel Destinations Based On Your Favorite Film
What if your next travel destination wasn't just a spot on a map, but a mood? A memory? A scene straight out of your favorite Egyptian movie? Cinema has a way of making us feel things deeply. Love, danger, wanderlust, grief, and sometimes, the best way to relive those emotions is to visit a place that carries the same energy. So if you're feeling stuck between booking a flight and rewatching your comfort movie (again), we've done all the work for you. Here's a travel guide with a cinematic feel. Hepta: The Last Lecture – Dahab – Sinai The film walks us through every stage of love; its joy, weight, and silence, and Dahab carries that same stillness. It's not loud or fast. It gives you space to feel things deeply, without interruption. Like Hepta, it's soft but honest. The kind of place where emotions surface slowly, and nothing needs to be said out loud to be understood. 7arameya Fi Thailand – Bangkok & Phuket, Thailand Let's be honest, no one watched 7arameya Fi Thailand for the plot. We watched it for the laughs, the chaos, and the sheer energy of a fish-out-of-water heist in a country bursting with sensory overload. Bangkok and Phuket still deliver that exact energy. From neon-lit markets to tropical beaches that feel straight out of a postcard, Thailand is where mischief meets magic. El Fil El Azra2 2 – Marrakesh, Morocco This movie isn't just a thriller, it's a slow unraveling of the mind. Morocco mirrors that perfectly. With its maze-like medinas, shadowy alleys, and rich, layered stillness, it feels like a place where nothing is ever just what it seems. Just like the film, Morocco holds beauty and darkness in the same breath. It's where you go to get lost and maybe find parts of yourself you weren't ready to meet. Hob El Banat – Barcelona, Spain Hob El Banat was about more than romance; it was about healing, sisterhood, and finding your way back to yourself. Barcelona captures that perfectly. It's warm without being overwhelming, stylish without trying too hard, and filled with art, music, and long, slow days that feel like personal growth in motion. Think rooftop conversations, golden-hour walks, and the kind of Mediterranean energy that reminds you that life can be soft and meaningful. Whether you're in the mood to feel deeply, dance freely, or just escape, let your favorite Egyptian film guide you. After all, your next destination might just be inspired by a scene you've watched a hundred times. Tell us which of these appeals to you the most.

‘Fesikh': The smelly fermented fish many Egyptians love forever no matter what
CAIRO – 20 April 2025: Every year, Egyptians celebrate Sham El-Nessim, a springtime tradition filled with colored eggs, fermented fish, and gatherings at parks or beaches. Sham El-Nessim falls on the day that follows Easter Sunday every year. This year, Sham El-Nessim will be celebrated tomorrow and fesikh (fermented fish) is, as usual, the star of the show. In the days leading up to the holiday, shops selling fesikh have been bustling with eager customers—men, women, and kids alike—who can't wait to dig in, sometimes even before the official celebration starts. Despite the Egyptian Ministry of Health issuing warnings about fesikh almost every year, it seems to have little effect. The preparation of fesikh involves creating an anaerobic environment for the fish to ferment, which unfortunately can also promote the growth of harmful bacteria. The ministry has noted these bacteria can produce toxins that may lead to botulism, weaken the immune system, and cause food poisoning. Yet, fesikh remains a beloved tradition in Egyptian households. No matter how sophisticated some may try to seem, you can often catch a whiff of fesikh in the air coming from inside their homes, accompanied by the ever-present green onions and bread. 'I come from a family of doctors, and they all love it madly,' Amr Abdel Fattah shared with Egypt Today. 'I walk in and immediately smell the one thing I hate the most, only to find out it's all ready. It's crazy how that smell lingers even after it's eaten!' When it comes to fesikh, people are either passionate fans or staunch haters. 'There's no middle ground—you're either a fan or an enemy,' said Mohamed Mohamed. 'I hate it and believe there are many more like me. I just don't understand how anyone can eat something that smells like that!' This love-hate relationship was humorously captured in the popular Egyptian film Assal Eswed, starring Ahmed Helmy. Helmy plays Masry El-Araby, an Egyptian-American who returns to Egypt after 20 years and is shocked to find his friends planning to eat the 'smelly' fish. After a bit of resistance, he gives it a try and ends up loving it—so much so that he can't stop eating until he feels sick. 'I ate so much my stomach might ache,' he says, only to be told, 'Fesikh won't give you a stomachache; you either die or live!' Fesikh isn't the only fish making waves during Sham El-Nessim. Renga (herring) and the extremely salty melouha are also popular options that many people cherish. Renga is seen as fesikh's fiercest competitor, while melouha is a beloved delicacy in the South. 'I've never eaten and will never eat fesikh. I only love renga,' said Hassanein Mohamed, emphasizing the divide that continues to exist.
