Inside the mall are 10 theaters. 4 are showing English speaking movies and the rest are in Arabic. We went to “Last Holiday” starring Queen Latifah. Tickets are purchased with reserved seating and an usher escorts you to your seats. We purchased a box of popcorn (not typical theater popcorn but instead it was white popcorn cooked like our son-in-law David makes), a bottle of water and a “Bounty” candy bar (like a Mounds). Total cost for the movie and refreshments was 60 LE ($10.50) for both of us -- $8 for the tickets and $2.50 for the refreshments. Halfway through the movie there was a 5 to 7 minute intermission to allow for use of the bathroom, visit the concession stand or go out and smoke. I visited the consession stand while Pat went out for a smoke (just kidding). We enjoyed the movie. It was nice way to escape after a busy work week. There were only about 15 to 20 of us in the theater while the Arabic speaking movies had much larger crowds. The 15 minute walk back home was very nice with the breeze off the sea.
