13 Things You Must Absolutely Do If You Find Yourself in Damietta

Via Panoramio.

Being born and raised in Damietta comes with a price. We’ve delved into that subject before, so there’s no point in sulking. Today, we focus on something entirely else, we focus on what does an individual do if they find themselves in Egypt’s capital of furniture, Damietta.

What does one do? Well, lucky for you, I’m quite a veteran when it comes to being a Domiaty, so I’ve curated a list of things to do if you ever find yourself there. Don’t worry, it ain’t bad at all.

Walk on the Corniche at night

It’s actually really nice and peaceful at night. Don’t forget to buy leb or termis from any of the people who sell them in the streets.

Have pizza from Pizza Party

Hands down the best place to get pizza from in Damietta. They’re also scattered everywhere across the city so it won’t be that hard finding them.

The picture doesn’t do the view justice. Oh, and don’t forget to try any of their seafood dishes.

Head to Ras El-Bar

The name literally translates to “head of land,” and it’s a resort city in the Governorate of Damietta. It’s 15 minutes away from the actual city, so you should definitely go.

Ride on a horse or have some ice cream by Ras El-Bar’s beach

Or walk on Portsaid street

Only the coolest street in Damietta. Domiaty teenagers have spent at least 80% of their teenage life walking on this street, for absolutely no reason at all. There’s literally nothing there, other than other kids walking. This street was the shit though.
