Zay Share3 il Wakalat

I was vacationing in Paris last month (oo la la ar7am 7ali) when I realized that the Champs Elysees is so overrated. In fact it’s not too different than Wakalat Street in Sweifiye!
 Let’s see:

 Both have cafes next to the main road


 Both have cafes offering Argeeleh!! Yes shocking I know :S


 Both are full of Gulfies


 Both have Etam and Benetton stores


 Both have people doing nothing just staring at pedestrians for a long time


 During world cup, you find Arabs in their cars, carrying flags, honking and shouting for no reason

 Both streets are dirty, 7atta Walakat street has more garbage bins

Care to share more, anyone?





However, I must say Paris is the city of lights and magical in a way but also outside paris is very nice and worth the visit.

Restaurant mistake # 1 : never inform customers more than they should know
