Travel Destinations Based On Your Favorite Film

Identity03-06-2025
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.

Mena Massoud Talks His First Egyptian Film, Challenges of Crossing over from Hollywood to the Middle East

Yara Sameh 'Aladdin' star Mena Massoud, who is a Canadian actor of Egyptian heritage, recently starred in — and produced — his first Arabic-language film 'Fi Ez El Dohr' (In Broad Daylight). In the action movie, he plays an Egyptian expatriate Hamza El Kashef who returns to his country as the enigmatic leader of an international crime syndicate. Directed by Morcous Adel, 'In Broad Daylight' recently went on release in Egypt and other territories in the region, marking a rare attempt by a Hollywood actor to break out in the Arab film industry — a process Massoud describes as 'doing Omar Sharif in reverse,' referencing the 'Lawrence of Arabia' star who was the first Egyptian actor to cross over to Hollywood. Below, Massoud – whose credits also include Prime Video's 'Hotel for the Holidays,' Netflix's 'The Royal Treatment' and the Hulu series 'Reprisal' – opened up to Variety about the challenges of going from Hollywood to Cairo where 'Fi Ez El Dohr' performed below expectations. This film has a special significance since it brought you back to Egypt, where you were born. How did it come together and what has it meant to you? I immigrated to Canada when I was 3, and pretty quickly when you're an immigrant, you try to find ways to stay close to your roots. For my parents, a big part of that meant continuing to watch Egyptian cinema and theater and TV. I grew up on Egyptian cinema before I ever watched anything from Hollywood; I fell in love with the arts through Egyptian cinema. So being able to go back and do something in Egypt was just a dream come true. What was it like for you to act in Arabic? I know you are fluent, but I heard you had to tweak your accent. I had to turn on my brain in a completely different way and tune my muscles in a completely different way, which is an incredible feeling. I don't know a lot of people who get to experience that. But it really rocks your world, because you've got to really just depend on your talent. A big part of your brain is focusing so much on the words coming out in a different language and in a different accent. So you've got to kind of rely on everything that you've learned from an acting perspective to to come through. What it was like to promote the film in Egypt, starting with the launch in Cairo? Regarding the premiere, it was very similar to what I've done anywhere else. I kind of went through the same process as an actor. I got my styling done for it and media prep for it and all that kind of stuff. We did a press junket day. The premiere was fantastic. We did it at the Mall of Egypt, which is one of the most iconic malls there. So it went really, really well. I really loved the process. In a way, there was even more media coverage than I'm used to. So that was fantastic. And it's been doing well, I think, for my first film in Egypt. I can't complain. How has the film been doing in the region? What I'm trying to do is like what someone like Steven Yeun ('Minari') is trying to do — it's very difficult to go back to your home country and try to break into the industry there. It's difficult, because you're going to have a lot of the country that are following Hollywood and know you and are proud of you and what you represent. But Egypt is a country with 120 million people. So you're going to get tens of millions of people that you still haven't tapped into, that are hearing your name for the first time. They are seeing you on billboards for the first time. And so it's kind of a marketing puzzle in that sense, because they've probably heard of 'Aladdin,' but maybe they haven't seen it. So how do you navigate that? I think it's a great first building block for me if I want to continue to work there, which I do. It's just the first step. And how do you build on that? One way I've been approaching that, for example, is my TikTok. I mean, if you go on my TikTok it's basically just Arabic content. I've kind of designated my TikTok just for Egypt. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but it's what I've decided to do, and this approach seems like it's been helping. So, it's difficult. I tell people, I'm kind of doing Omar Sharif in reverse, you know? read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

She was discovered at the age of fifteen and enrolled at the Conservatory of Arabic Music to begin her singing career. The acclaimed singer soon met composer Mohamed Diae, whom she eventually married and became the father of her son, Omar. She filed for divorce a year later. She recorded her first song in 2006 and received the support of Egyptian music icon Ammar El Sherei, who she considers to be her spiritual father. In June 2021, Maher quit music following the death of her close-knit aunt and calling off her engagement, but later on, she backtracked from her decision and presented her first concert in Al-Alamein on July 29, 2022. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
