 | | For non-alcoholic drinks and a varying amount of entertainment, the ahwa (coffee shop) is the place to go. |
 | | Ahwas are everywhere and are usually indoors (though one of the best ones a younger persons hangout, known as the Bustan Ahwa can be found in an alley behind Cafe Riche on Talaat Harb). |
 | | They serve tea (shay), coffee (ahwa), kakaow (hot chocolate), coke, sprite, fanta etc, a variety of fruit juices (depending on the season), erfa (cinnamon), ganzabeel, (ginger), helba (fenugreek), yansuun (aniseed), kirkaday (hibiscus), zabedee (yoghurt) and sahleb (a sweet milky drink/mini-meal with nuts and raisins floating in it.) |
