It has always been quite hard to answer questions about your favorite destination, as the world is just full of varieties that sometimes the real fun is more about the experience itself than the destination. However, Egyptians found it easier to talk about their “not favorite destinations” in life, using a new trend.
The trend emerged after the young Egyptian actress, Salma Abu Deif, appeared on a video saying that she only approved to go to Russia for supporting Egypt’s Football National Team. Otherwise, she would’ve never traveled there as she claimed that “Russia is not her favorite destination.”
Here’s a glimpse at how some Egyptians started hilariously creating memes about the trend:
A Facebook user sarcastically said that getting involve into relationships and marriage and all these stuff is just not “her favorite destination,” meaning it’s not her goal in life anyway.
In another post, one user shared a post about spending a vacation in Switzerland. However, it seems that the budget needed for it let her ironically decide that Switzerland couldn’t just be her favorite destination.
Another Facebook user pointed out that she doesn’t go support the football national team in Russia as her mom thinks it’s cold and far away so obviously “Russia is not my favorite destination”!
“I go to work everyday and it’s actually not my favorite destination,” another Facebook user said.
Hilariously, another user said: “Please someone tell Salma Abo Deif that I used to go to college everyday for four years, though it’s definitely not my favorite destination.”
A Twitter user sarcastically said: “I live in Egypt and it’s not my favorite destination at all”
