Two Art Galleries & a Movie

After the flurry of cultural opportunities offered by the month of November, this month starts on a much sober note. Why not taking the opportunity to visit two interesting exhibitions of contemporary art then? They are even at a walking distance one from the other, in the district of Zamalek.

The first is called "Labyrinth" (see here), from the renowned Egyptian artist Mohamed Abla at the Zamalek Art Gallery, 11 Brazil St. , running until December 4, while the second is a collective exhibition of four artists from Alexandria called "Pharos of Arts" (see here) at the Al Masar Gallery at 157b 26th of July St., running until December 15.

And while you are around and wait for dinner time, you might even drop in at the Italian Cultural Centre at 3, Sheikh al-Marsafi St. where at 7:00 will be screened the wonderful movie "L'ultimo bacio" by Gabriele Muccino.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful evening?
