CH3 - Cairo Hash


No! Not that hash!
But I got your attention didn’t I? :-)
If I’m in Cairo for the weekend, I typically join the Cairo Hash House Harriers (CH3) on Fridays. CH3 is a local chapter of an international running/walking/drinking club. They call themselves a drinking club with a running problem. They gather on Fridays in Cairo (our Sunday) and carpool out into the desert within an hours drive of the city for a hike or run and some juvenile merriment. So, just as the devote Muslims are gathering for their communal noontime prayers, we are frolicking in the desert drinking beers.


CH3 is a good, fun group and you get see a part of Egypt not on any tourist maps and a little exercise. However, like my loyal volleyball teammates at home, sometimes there’s more beer then exercise. But that’s all part of the fun!

If you’re interested, you can check out the website http://www.cairohash.com/ and even search for a Hash House Harriers group in your area.
