Ahawy


As a Muslim country, people here rarely drink alcohol and Cafes (Ahawy) are considered the Egyptian alternative to Bars. Smoking Shisha, drinking Tea, and playing Domino or watching TV are the most common activities people do in Cafes.

Rarely drink alcohol? Rarely??? Which country do you live in?

Egypt!
I myself never drank before, and I know millions here who've never drunk too.
