? OUT AND ABOUT-
(all times CLT)

THEATER-

Enter the improv world in 2024. Starting this weekend, Friday, 5 January, Ramsi Lehner will be hosting a ten-class improv workshop to help you improve your public speaking skills, expand your range as an actor or performer, help you develop your standup comedy, or even just make you better at communication. The classes will take place every weekend on Fridays and Saturdays from 6:30pm to 10pm. Register here to claim a spot.

ART-

Get ready, aspiring photographers: The Fujifilm festival starts on Thursday, 1 February, and ends on Sunday, 4 February. You’ll have four full days of activities, meetups, and talks, as well as a photography contest and an exhibition that you can partake in. You can bring your camera along to get a gratuitous CMOS and lens cleaning and check out the GFX 100 ii Studio on-site. Fujifilm X-Photographers and creators will be there too — don’t miss out on the networking potential. Check out their Facebook page for more information.

MUSIC-

Warm up your vocal cords, gang. Karaoke Night is back at ROOM Art Space and Cafe. ROOM’s doors are open every Tuesday through to 27 February for you and your friends to belt out your favorite tunes, starting at 8pm and ending at 10pm. You can reserve your spot here.

SPORTS-

Venturing out into the cold in the dead of winter this weekend. It may seem counterintuitive, but to the adventurers of us, it’s a test of determination. The Sahara Survival School is inviting you to, well, survive a hike up Mount Sinai— the highest peak in Egypt — and Mount Abu Ramil on their SubZero mountain climb. The hikes will take place over three days, starting tomorrow to Saturday, 6 January. Interested in testing your resilience? You can contact Sahara Survival School on their Facebook page.

Heads up, football fans. Raz3 El Gomhoor — with YouTuber Marwan Serry and the gang — is coming to The Marquee this Friday, 5 January to host a two-and-a-half-hour in-depth discussion about the forthcoming football season, player transfers, and general analysis of all of your favorite leagues. Both platinum ticket tiers are sold out, but if you act fast, you can still snag yourself a gold. Reserve your spot here.

The Cairo Half Marathon is taking place in a few months: Mark your calendars for Friday, 1 March, and start stretching. Cairo Runners is bringing back a fan favorite, offering the same distances as The TriFactory. Tickets are available until 27 February, giving you ample time to convince seven of your friends to join, which will get a 10% reduction in price when you register.
