Cairo has never been a place that came to my mind if I thought about productive work days. But guess what: the opposite couldn’t be more true nowadays!! I am surprised by this vibrant and upcoming remote hotspot – read more if you’re curious.
I love exploring different cities to work from. Every city you explore has its unique energy, and for those attuned to picking up on vibes effortlessly, this sensitivity can become a valuable asset. Certain city’s can activate boldness, others can spark creativity, and some ignite a kind of passion in you that can work advantageous for your business. For individuals who are self-employed and enjoy the flexibility to choose any location that resonates with them, it can be great to pick your location based on what kind of energy you currently need in your life.
With a passport stamped across 70+ countries in the past 10 years, and a successful company that I can run from everywhere, I’ve curated a collection of my go-to spots when it comes down to my favorite cafe’s to work from. Not just for the coffee and food, but also for the vibes they give off. Today, let’s dive into the thriving workspaces that ignited my business passion…… in Cairo!
