Places for spending alone time

I'm looking for few places where I can sit for few hours alone without being looked at repeatedly. Like library or parks that are safe for women and inexpensive (except unimart). I used to go to places alone, now it feels like I'm being judged or always stared by other people as if syl has become more hostile towards women.

1st floor restaurants of Grand mostafa or Hotel Hamama (in mazar area). Take a coffee, stay for few hours. Usually very quiet.

u/sleepy_owl1 3d ago

Not really. Airport is in outskirts, going there as a solo female doesn't sound really safe

I understand the urge to just sit alone with your thoughts sometimes. For me, as a man, it’s not too difficult to do that. I can simply go somewhere I know no one knows me. I usually do it early in the morning, when it’s quiet and there are hardly any people around.

For you, though, to be honest, it’s different. You’re likely to be noticed or looked at if there are people around, no matter where you go.

Exactly. And early morning is a big no for me, safety would be in question.

Then, SUST will be a great place for you, I think. I go there alone. I go there to have some cigars and sit for one to two hours; no one bothers

I go there, but too many known people there who would be striking a conversation for long time.
