It’s the witching hour and you’re still awake, the herd of sheep has no plans of jumping over the fence and you’re too lazy to finish a book you borrowed two months ago. Normally for nocturnal people the fridge is a refuge; with ice cream, fruits, soup and chocolate, but sadly a lonely cold slice of day-old pizza and spoiled milk is the only thing inside it. Pfffff!
Lucky you, aside from the 24-hour convenient shops in your neighborhood, you can troop by these places to kill time and not just get forty winks. You can binge on food, practice singing outside your bathroom, attempt at throwing a line or just go lazy around a café and wait for that heavy-eyed feeling and call it a night (or day). As one famous Paul sang: “No more lonely nights…”
 KBox

To complement your Middle East experience, one has to try the Shisha (a Persian tobacco pipe) at Café Le Caire. Shisha-smoking has become so popular in this cozy joint that the management doubled its size to include a chill-out room for loyal patrons and novices. This themed café is adorned with Arabic ornaments; chill-out sofa cushions designed to take you in and loosen up. Café Le Caire serves traditional kebabs and chickpeas and a variety of specialty teas and one famous is the peach tea, a brown infusion tea with less saccharine and has a sweet aroma.
