Islam was awarded a Special Jury Prize at the Arab Hollywood Film Festival. The movie was also screened at the Berlin Film Festival.</p>
<p>Mubarak had an unforgettable participation in&nbsp;&nbsp;"You Will Die at 20", the first Sudanese film to be nominated for an Oscar. Her vibrant and unforgettable performance resonated deeply with critics and audiences worldwide.</p>
<p>In an exclusive interview with Nile FM, Islam reflected on her journey, cultural identity, and aspirations for Sudanese cinema, expressing how cultural background continues to inspire and guide her career.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3Dpfbid0FQFTiTsKLf9JBqxxtkRGBEEoDB6E7qGGz84kXsdsYqJGB9F4oPqhKMi1PcKZwo9Al%26id%3D100063596355355&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;Seret Ahl El Daye&rdquo; (The Tale of Daye&rsquo;s Family)</strong></p>
<p><strong>How did you receive the news of winning the Special Jury Prize at the Arab Hollywood Film Festival on your role in Seret Ahl El Daye?</strong></p>
<p>Winning the Special Jury Prize at the Arab Hollywood Film Festival on my role in &lsquo;Daye&rsquo;, means a great deal to me. It represents both, artistic maturity and the start of a new phase in my career.</p>
<p><strong>What attracted you to the story of Daye? And how did you find presenting a character from a family on a difficult journey from Aswan to Cairo?</strong></p>
<p>What attracted me most to the story was the depth of its humanity &mdash; how it highlights the real and underrepresented presence of people with albinism in our communities. The script offered a rare opportunity to dive into their world, understand their emotions, and explore how they relate to those around them.</p>
<p><strong>How would you describe your experience working with director Karim El Shenawy?</strong></p>
<p>Working with director Karim El Shenawy was a great enriching experience. He&rsquo;s a director who knows exactly what he wants and always chooses scripts with strong social angles. His unique touch was present in every aspect of the film. It was an honor to be part of a cast with such diverse acting backgrounds. Being part of international festivals like Berlinale and Red Sea was another personal milestone &mdash; a confirmation of my presence not only in the Arab film scene but also on a broader, more global level.</p>
<p><strong>What does the Sudanese woman represent to you?</strong></p>
<p>My role reminded me of the power and resilience of Sudanese women who, despite political and social struggles, remain pillars of courage, beauty, and perseverance across all fields, not just in cinema. I believe that my character sends a clear message to every woman suffering in silence: &lsquo;We do not have the luxury of collapsing&rsquo;.</p>
<p><strong>Any upcoming projects?</strong></p>
<p>Right now, I&rsquo;m preparing for a number of projects; some completed, some in progress, and others still in the early discussion phase. I will continue to appear in Egyptian productions, especially after the success of "Ashgal Shaqa Gedan"</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F546850181096658%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;Madina from Nigeria&rdquo; &nbsp;in &ldquo;Ashgal Shaqa Gedan&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you expect such success to your role as 'Madina'?</strong></p>
<p>I never expected the overwhelming response to &ldquo;Madina.&rdquo; Seeing the character go viral and resonate with so many people has been both surprising and joyful. The phrase &ldquo;Madina from Nigeria&rdquo; turned into a widespread meme, and I followed the reactions closely on social media. There was great love to Madina.</p>
<p><strong>Take us &nbsp;behind-the-scenes of &ldquo;Ashgal Shaqa Gedan&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Behind the scenes, we had lots of fun and laughter. It felt more like being part of a large, supportive family than just a cast.</p>
<p><strong>How was it working with Hesham Maged and Asmaa Galal? Was there any improvisation?</strong></p>
<p>Working with Hesham Maged and Asmaa Galal was a pleasure &mdash; everyone was incredibly kind and collaborative. The role of &ldquo;Madina&rdquo; didn&rsquo;t require much improvisation since the character was already well-defined, but director Khaled Diab gave us space to add or adjust things under his guidance, which made the process even more enjoyable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;You will die at 20&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;You Will Die at 20&rdquo; was an important milestone for you in the cinema. How was that experience?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;You Will Die at 20&rdquo; was my first film after a long journey in the TV industry, and I consider it the foundation of my cinematic career. The film holds a very special place in my heart. Every detail of the experience was rich and meaningful.</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;You will die at 20&rdquo;was screened at major festivals like Venice and El Gouna. How did that influence your artistic journey?</strong></p>
<p>Participating in major festivals like Venice and El Gouna was a huge achievement, especially considering the years I spent acting without the chance to do cinema due to my country&rsquo;s circumstances. This film was the dream I thought was impossible, and it came true by God&rsquo;s grace.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>On Sudanese Representation and Cultural Identity</strong></p>
<p><strong>How do you see the presence of Sudanese actors in today&rsquo;s Arab film scene? Do you feel there&rsquo;s progress in how Sudanese identity is represented in arts and media?</strong></p>
<p>The presence of Sudanese actors in the Arab film scene, although it was overdue , is finally gaining momentum. Sudanese talents are rich and capable, but political and economic challenges have hindered their visibility. I believe this is just the beginning, &nbsp;the world is about to witness a powerful Sudanese emergence in cinema. After years of artistic stagnation, we are now exploring our voice again, and the number of awards won by Sudanese films; whether features, short, or documentaries &mdash; proves that growth and renewal are underway.</p>
<p><strong>Should art have geographic or cultural limits?</strong></p>
<p>Let me answer with questions: Do the arts have geographic boundaries? Should an actor be confined to a specific cultural identity?</p>
<p>We must work towards reviving Sudanese cinema, not just restoring it to its former glory, but surpassing it. I believe this is a right owed to the country that gave me my identity and shaped my soul.</p>
<p><strong>You were born in Khartoum and have starred in major Egyptian productions. How do you balance your Sudanese cultural identity with being part of the Egyptian entertainment scene?</strong></p>
<p>Being born in Khartoum and working in prominent Egyptian productions has required a delicate balance between my Sudanese cultural identity and my place in the Egyptian entertainment world. But I see this duality as a strength.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have any upcoming projects in Sudan? Are you aiming to contribute to the revival or development of Sudanese cinema?</strong></p>
<p>I do have plans to work on projects in Sudan, and I strongly believe in the importance of reviving Sudanese cinema, not just restoring it, but building it into something even greater. This is my obligation to the country that shaped my identity and spirit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Aspirations and the Road Ahead</strong></p>
<p><strong>What is your dream role?</strong></p>
<p>Every role I&rsquo;ve played touches me . My true passion lies in characterization &mdash; I long for roles that offer genuine emotional truth. There are still dream roles I haven&rsquo;t yet explored, and I hope time will allow me to bring them to life.</p>
<p><strong>If you sum up your professional journey so far in one sentence, what would it be?</strong></p>
<p>What drives me is a combination of passion, perseverance, trust in myself, tireless effort, and deep faith in God. If I had to summarize my journey in one sentence, I&rsquo;d say: &lsquo; Passion, resilience, confidence and effort without despair and with full faith in God&rsquo;</p>

<p><strong>Trent&rsquo;s Message to Liverpool Fans</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In an emotional farewell video, Alexander-Arnold paid tribute to the fans and the institution that shaped his career. <em><strong>&ldquo;The love I have for this club will never leave. It will never diminish. I'll love it forever,&rdquo;</strong> </em>he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll forever be in debt to the club and the fans for everything they&rsquo;ve done for me,&rdquo;</strong></em> he continued.<em><strong> &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no doubt about it, I&rsquo;ll be back. Any chance I get, I&rsquo;ll come to watch games and support the team. I&rsquo;ll always remain a Liverpool fan.&rdquo;</strong></em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite lifting the Premier League trophy this season and serving as the club's vice-captain, Trent revealed that his decision was driven by personal growth rather than dissatisfaction. &ldquo;<em><strong>It&rsquo;s not about wanting to find something better,&rdquo;</strong></em> he explained. <em><strong>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s about me and my personal journey.

<p><strong>Legacy of a Local Hero</strong></p>
<p>Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a cornerstone of Liverpool FC since making his senior debut at just 18 years old. A product of the club&rsquo;s academy, which he joined at the age of six, Alexander-Arnold has grown into one of the most influential defenders of his generation.</p>
<p>Originally a midfielder, his transition to right-back allowed him to showcase exceptional creativity, contributing to 72 clean sheets and an impressive 82 goal involvements&mdash;18 goals and 64 assists&mdash;throughout his career.</p>
<p>Under J&uuml;rgen Klopp&rsquo;s leadership, Alexander-Arnold played a pivotal role in Liverpool's golden era, helping the club secure four major trophies in just 14 months, including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles.</p>
<p>In the 2019/20 season, he set a Premier League record for most assists by a defender in a single campaign, with 13. His leadership qualities were also evident when, in December 2020, he became the youngest player to captain Liverpool in European competition.</p>
<p>Today, a mural in Liverpool stands as a tribute to his remarkable journey&mdash;a local boy turned global football star whose legacy continues to grow.</p>

<p>Filming has officially begun on the reboot of El Selm W El Te'ban, the beloved early-2000s drama that&rsquo;s getting a modern revival under the direction of&nbsp; Tarek Al Arian. Originally set to star Menna Shalaby, the project took a sharp turn when the actress unexpectedly stepped away from the role. Rising star Asmaa Galal has now taken her place, joining Amr Youssef in what promises to be one of the most talked-about productions of the year.</p>
<p>Galal, known for her compelling performances in Ashghal Shaqqah and Leh Laa, brings a fresh dynamic to the role, while Amr Youssef adds depth and presence as her co-star. The film marks a new collaboration between Galal and Al Eryan, a director celebrated for his cinematic vision and emotional storytelling.</p>
<p>El Selm W El Te'ban originally captivated audiences in 2001 with its raw take on love, trauma, and healing, starring Hala Shiha and Hany Salama. The new version is expected to retain the soul of the original while recontextualizing it for today's viewers, diving deeper into contemporary emotional struggles and social issues.</p>
<p>With cameras rolling as of yesterday, excitement is building around the project. Fans of Egyptian cinema are eager to see how this reimagined classic will unfold &mdash; and how the new cast and crew will breathe life into a story that defined a generation.</p>

<p>Easter isn&rsquo;t just about colorful eggs and festive meals &mdash; it&rsquo;s also a time to celebrate nature&rsquo;s beauty, fresh beginnings, and quality time with loved ones. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture welcomes spring with the grand opening of the 92nd Spring Flower Exhibition at the Agricultural Museum, featuring more than 160 exhibitors and entrepreneurs. Held in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the exhibition invites visitors, experts, and enthusiasts from around the world to immerse themselves in a vibrant display of flowers, plants, and sustainable innovations.</p>
<p><br />Launched in 1930, the exhibition has blossomed into an annual tradition that heralds the arrival of spring and coincides with the joyful spirit of Easter.<br />As part of our special coverage, Nile FM spoke with Engineers&nbsp;<strong>Amr Tamoum,</strong> and <strong>Ahmed Mostafa</strong>, one of this year&rsquo;s featured participants.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Plants Worth Over 100K EGP!</strong></p>
<p>Amr has been taking part in the exhibition since 2012, making this his 13th year. He shared his experience and spoke about some of the rarest and most expensive plants on display.<br />"One of the flowers that always catches visitors&rsquo; eyes is the Bougainvillea, thanks to its rich and interwoven colors," said Amr. Prices are variable, some would exceed 100,000 EGP. This exhibition is one of the most important events for plant lovers, showcasing rare and exotic varieties you won&rsquo;t find anywhere else. But it&rsquo;s important to know that these plants need special care and attention, especially if you're planning to take one home."</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/M55rYHF3"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/M55rYHF3/red-flower-called-bougainvillea-los-angeles-california.jpg" alt="red-flower-called-bougainvillea-los-angeles-california" border="0" /></a><br />Engineer Ahmed Mostafa, another long-time participant, also spoke with Nile FM. This marks his 14th consecutive year at the exhibition.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Tickets for All: Affordable Prices for Everyone! </strong><br />&ldquo;It makes us proud to see how the country values and supports this event every year. The strong public audience gives us motivation to keep going and growing,&rdquo; he said.<br />&ldquo;People naturally gravitate toward flowers and plants in spring, especially during Easter, when everything feels more joyful. What I love most about my work is that I can take something small and turn it into a vibrant plant full of colors. The exhibition is more than just an exhibition; it&rsquo;s also a great outing for families, with a variety of activities to enjoy. Plus, ticket prices are affordable for everyone.&rdquo;<br />The exhibition brings together a vast collection of flowers and rare plants, including ornamental plants, nurseries, and agricultural supplies. It hosts cultivators from across Egypt, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for plant lovers, gardening enthusiasts, and curious visitors alike.</p>

Exclusive: Spring Flowers Blooming With Passion

<p>Basmah Osman had us all reaching for our notebooks after her inspiring appearance today on The Big Breakfast Show with Rob and Nadine, live from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Nile FM. The conversation quickly turned into a powerful deep dive into self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment. Basmah shared a message that set the tone for the entire interview: <em><strong>&ldquo;If you change your mind, you can change your life.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Basmah, an executive Coach and a Managing Partner at elleKhan Division of FekrKhan, is also serving as a jury member at the upcoming International Women&rsquo;s Summit. With a decade of experience at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, she later transitioned into the world of executive coaching and has since become a strong voice in the women&rsquo;s empowerment movement.</p>
<p>When asked how she defines success, Basmah reflected, &ldquo;Success in life is about asking yourself&mdash;who do I want to be? I want to do this, I want to be this.&rdquo; She emphasized the importance of self-awareness as a catalyst for building confidence and making informed life choices.</p>
<p>But what if you're uncertain about your path? Basmah encourages asking yourself, &ldquo;What are my options and resources?&rdquo; Every step forward, she says, is either a move in the right direction or a lesson that helps clarify what you truly want. Disappointment, while difficult, is often an inevitable part of the journey&mdash;but it also prepares you for what's next.</p>
<p>She highlighted the power of failure and starting over: &ldquo;If I haven&rsquo;t been through difficult experiences, how can I empathize with others?&rdquo; According to her, pain and setbacks are not just part of life&mdash;they&rsquo;re essential to understanding it from a human perspective.</p>
<p>On the topic of imposter syndrome, Basmah shared candidly, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m 60 years old and I still get it.&rdquo; That voice in your head that questions your worth is just your mind trying to keep you in the comfort zone, she explained. The key to overcoming it? Focus on taking one step at a time&mdash;almost like manifesting success.</p>
<p>As she prepares to sit on the jury panel at the International Women&rsquo;s Summit, Basmah shared how she gears up for public speaking: &ldquo;I do prepare, but I also read the room. Every audience is different.&rdquo; What excites her the most? &ldquo;Discovering the hidden gems&mdash;meeting women from different industries feels like a treasure hunt.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She also made a powerful statement on women&rsquo;s representation: &ldquo;If women aren&rsquo;t given space, they&rsquo;ll create their own.&rdquo; And she urged companies and stakeholders to diversify their teams: &ldquo;The world can&rsquo;t run on just 50% of its population. When men and women work together, you get a powerhouse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Basmah Osman left us with more than inspiration&mdash;she left us with a mindset shift.</p>

Basmah Osman: "If You Change Your Mind, You Can Change Your Life" — Self-Empowerment and More

<p><strong>By:</strong> Yomna Walid</p>
<p>Nesma has officially been selected to participate in the prestigious Hollywood Arab Film Festival. The moving short follows 12-year-old Nesma, who pretends to be Olfat convincing everyone around her that Olfat is still alive in a desperate attempt to avoid returning to the shelter.</p>
<p>Nile FM interviewed the talented debut director Rahaff Ahmed, who opened up about the emotional roots of her first film, the challenges of bringing it to life, and what this milestone means for her career.</p>
<p><strong>How did you feel when you first found out that your short film, Nesma, had been officially selected for the Hollywood Arab Film Festival?</strong></p>
<p>I was overwhelmed with emotion. Nesma is my first short film and also my graduation project, so hearing that it got into an international festival like the Hollywood Arab Film Festival was surreal. I didn&rsquo;t expect it, it felt like a reward after months of effort, uncertainty, and pouring so much of myself into the film.</p>
<p><strong>What does this milestone mean to you personally and professionally, especially as your first short film?</strong></p>
<p>Personally, it means the world. Nesma is a very intimate story for me, rooted in real emotions I&rsquo;ve been dealing with. So seeing it reach others on such a scale is deeply moving. Professionally, it&rsquo;s a big step forward. As someone just starting out, I honestly didn&rsquo;t expect the film to make it into a festival like this, but it did, and that gave me the motivation to keep going and continue developing the stories I want to tell.</p>
<p><strong>Can you walk us through the journey of creating Nesma&mdash;what inspired the story, and what message did you hope to convey?</strong></p>
<p>The story was born out of personal grief. Two years ago, I lost my grandmother shortly after filming a documentary about her. That loss stayed with me. I found myself avoiding it and at the same time being consumed by it. Nesma is my attempt to give shape to that feeling of being caught between denial and pain. Like me, Nesma is just a child trying to navigate a harsh reality she didn&rsquo;t choose. I wanted to explore what it means to survive emotionally in a world that doesn&rsquo;t pause for your grief.</p>
<p><strong>What were the biggest challenges you faced during the making of the film?</strong></p>
<p>Directing a child actor was both the biggest challenge and a beautiful part of the process. Habiba, who played Nesma, is incredibly smart and intuitive, but as a child, she needed a lot of emotional guidance. Working with Meriam Altahawy, Habiba&rsquo;s acting coach, was a game-changer. She played a key role in helping Habiba tap into the character&rsquo;s emotions in an organic way. Balancing the emotional depth of the story with a young performer required patience and a lot of trust.</p>

<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve spoken about being grateful to those who supported you&mdash;was there someone in particular whose belief in Nesma made a lasting impact?</strong></p>
<p>Definitely. I owe so much to Alia Ibrahim, who developed the story with me and wrote the script. She understood my emotional starting point and helped translate it into a powerful narrative. I&rsquo;m also grateful to Ali El Arabi (Producer) and Rodrigo Brum (Project Supervisor) for their support and belief in the project from the beginning.</p>
<p><strong>How do you see this achievement shaping your next steps as a filmmaker? Are there new projects you&rsquo;re working on or thinking about?</strong></p>
<p>This recognition has definitely given me more motivation to keep going. Right now, I&rsquo;m working on a new short film called Heat. It was selected for Cinephilia&rsquo;s Workroom in January 2025. I&rsquo;m currently in the writing phase, and the story is much more intimate and emotionally raw.</p>
<p><strong>What do you hope international audiences will take away from Nesma, especially now that it's being screened at a global festival?</strong></p>
<p>I hope they leave thinking about the reality of how we often don&rsquo;t process grief properly. Life keeps moving forward, even when you feel completely stuck or shattered. When a child experiences something like that, it becomes even more complicated and isolating. Nesma is a 12-year-old girl doing everything she can to hold on to the little safety she has left. The story isn&rsquo;t about solving grief; it&rsquo;s about what happens when you&rsquo;re forced to carry it too soon, and how survival sometimes looks like pretending everything&rsquo;s okay when it&rsquo;s not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;From personal loss to international acclaim, Rahaff Ahmed&rsquo;s cinematic voice has struck a universal chord. If Nesma is any indication, her journey as a filmmaker is only just beginning.</p>

<p>After her special appearance accompanied the official French delegation with President of France Emmanuel Macron during his recent visit to Egypt, the opera singer, Egyptian mezzo- soprano Farrah El Dibany, became the talk of the world after her name quickly topping Google Trends.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Nile FM&rdquo; caught up with the Egyptian mezzo-soprano &ldquo;Farrah El Dibany&rdquo;, who&rsquo;s become a symbol of cultural diplomacy, to talk about the unforgettable moments behind the scenes, what it means to sing for world leaders, and how her diverse background has shaped her into the global artist she is today.</p>
<p><strong>Your name quickly topped Google Trends after the event &mdash; how did that public response make you feel?</strong></p>
<p>First of all, I knew from you that I was trending &mdash; I hadn&rsquo;t even checked! Thank you for letting me know. Honestly, it made me feel very touched and appreciated. I didn&rsquo;t expect all of this, but I quickly realized how important the visit was for Egypt, for France, and for the relationship between these two countries.</p>
<p><strong>You mentioned on social media how proud and deeply grateful you were to contribute to strengthening the ties between Egypt and France. Could you tell us more about what that moment meant to you personally?</strong></p>
<p>That moment, especially because I met both presidents &mdash; Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Emmanuel Macron &mdash; made me feel like I&rsquo;ve reached what I&rsquo;ve always dreamt of: dialogue, peace, love, and understanding. Bringing people together. That&rsquo;s been my mission even before I knew I wanted to be a singer.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/d4GRC8Jp"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/GQcqYz3M/Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM-2.jpg" alt="Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM-2" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>As an Egyptian artist chosen by France to represent their cultural identity in Egypt &mdash; your homeland &mdash; how did that dual symbolism feel?</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m honestly very proud to be representing both. I&rsquo;m proud that the French chose me to represent Egypt &mdash; because they know how appreciated I am here in Egypt. And I&rsquo;m just as proud that Egyptians see my French side and recognize my place in French society. It&rsquo;s a beautiful balance. The President of France always introduces me as &ldquo;The Egyptian&rdquo; not the international which makes me very proud of my own identity.</p>
<p><strong>This wasn&rsquo;t your first encounter with President Macron. You sang the French national anthem alongside him and his wife after his re-election, and again before the World Cup Final in 2022. How would you describe your relationship with France and its leadership?</strong></p>
<p>I would describe it as very positive and full of mutual respect. They appreciate my art, my persona, my work. And I appreciate what they are doing to promote my art and to help and support what I do as an artist. Because what I like about France is that they always promote culture and sports. And they always support anyone from any nationality, no matter where you&rsquo;re from I&rsquo;ve always felt valued</p>
<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve performed in front of world leaders, at globally watched events like World Cup, and The World Youth Forum, how do you prepare for such high-pressure, high-profile performances?</strong></p>
<p>I sang the national anthem at President Macron&rsquo;s re-election celebrations and again ahead of the 2022 World Cup Final. Also at the UNESCO&rsquo;s 75th. There were 30 presidents from all over the world, including His Excellency President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in the audience.</p>
<p>Then I sang in another event with high-profile presidents and leaders such as Hillary Clinton and President Macron at the Arab Institute in Paris. I also performed in front of royals from Jordan, Bahrain,<a href="https://ibb.co/JWD40WBs"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/DP0ysPVR/Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM.jpg" alt="Photo-09-04-2025-12-41-25-PM" border="0" /></a> and Saudi Arabia. And of course, in front of the first lady of Egypt and the first lady of Oman, Sultanate of Oman. So, as you've said, not always easy to perform in front of royals and presidents because it's a different mood and different energy. What I do is that I always go on stage thinking I'm singing to a human being. So no matter what his position is, at the end of the day, he or she is a human with feelings. And what I have to do, as I always do, is get to their feelings, to touch them from the inside with my music and with my voice.</p>
<p><strong>During this recent visit, was there a specific moment, conversation, or gesture &mdash; from President Macron or President El-Sisi &mdash; that moved you?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, actually. When I met both presidents, the first thing President El-Sisi told Macron was, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re very proud of Farrah, we know that you enjoy her voice&rdquo; Macron replied, &ldquo;of course...She&rsquo;s a reincarnation of Dalida&hellip;she a big diva, she is our diva.&rdquo; Then El-Sisi added, &ldquo;yes, she's our diva, Egyptian diva.&rdquo; And then they laughed and it was very nice. And President Sisi continued, &ldquo;She is our ambassador.&rdquo; And Macron agreed, &ldquo;She&rsquo;s our ambassador too &mdash; an ambassador of arts and culture.&rdquo; That moment gave me goosebumps. I&rsquo;ll never forget it.</p>
<p><strong>What was the most memorable part of accompanying the French delegation? Was there anything unexpected that made the experience even more special?</strong></p>
<p>There was a beautiful, spontaneous moment during our visit to the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology. It was past midnight. President Macron found lyrics of a Dalida song, looked at me and asked, &ldquo;Who sings this?&rdquo; I said, &ldquo;Dalida,&rdquo; and started singing. Then he joined in. We sang the whole song together. It was light, fun, and full of meaning. It felt very human and real.</p>
<p><strong>Your voice and presence have become a symbol of cultural diplomacy. In your opinion, how can classical music and opera help build bridges between nations?</strong></p>
<p>Classical music is a universal language. Opera isn&rsquo;t just about the words &mdash; it&rsquo;s about the emotions, the phrasing, the voice. I&rsquo;ve sung in places where people didn&rsquo;t speak the language at all, but they still felt it. That&rsquo;s the magic of opera. It touches something beyond language, people don&rsquo;t understand the language, they understand the feeling of opera.</p>
<p><strong>You've sung in several languages &mdash; Italian, French, German &mdash; and you&rsquo;ve studied in Berlin while holding a degree in engineering. How has your international background shaped you as an artist?</strong></p>
<p>It shaped me in every way. Architecture, especially, taught me structure, depth, and the importance of preparing with a concept. It trained me to approach a performance like a crafted piece of art. And being multilingual opened so many doors &mdash; I&rsquo;ve sung in over ten languages, including Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, and Russian.</p>

<p><strong>What do you feel when you perform in Egypt versus when you're on global stages? Is the connection with the audience different?</strong></p>
<p>Performing in Egypt is like singing to a big family. The audience doesn&rsquo;t just come to hear the music &mdash; they come to see me. There&rsquo;s a deep emotional connection that feels like home. Abroad, it&rsquo;s more about discovery. But in Egypt, it&rsquo;s about belonging.</p>
<p><strong>What would you say to young Egyptian women and artists who look up to you, those who see your journey as proof that dreams can cross borders?</strong></p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t follow trends. Discover your own dream, your own voice. It&rsquo;s okay to be different. Be proud of your identity and roots &mdash; they will carry you further than you imagine.</p>
<p><strong>Finally, what's next for you? Any exciting performances, collaborations, or projects we can look forward to?</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m off to Jordan and China. I&rsquo;m also working on a big Dalida project and releasing a song with a well-known Japanese jazz composer. So yes &mdash; lots of exciting things coming soon!</p>
<p>Farrah El Dibany&rsquo;s journey is proof that music transcends borders, politics, and language &mdash; and that one voice, when rooted in authenticity, can echo across continents. As she continues to represent Egypt on the world stage, she reminds us that cultural diplomacy isn&rsquo;t just built in boardrooms &mdash; sometimes, it&rsquo;s built in song.</p>

<p>Nutritionist Fayrouz Eid joined Nile FM's Brain Busters to talk about the connection between food, stress, and overall well-being&mdash;especially during Ramadan.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How Stress Affects Your Body: More Than Just a Feeling</strong></span></p>
<p>Stress doesn&rsquo;t just mess with your mood&mdash;it affects your hormones, metabolism, digestion, and even sleep. According to Fayrouz, when stress takes over, your body holds onto weight, craves unhealthy food, and struggles to function properly.</p>
<p>&ldquo;<em>One of the worst things you can do is skip meals</em>,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;Your body needs consistency. If you have three meals, don&rsquo;t skip one of them. Stress makes it harder to tune into what your body needs.&rdquo; So, what&rsquo;s the fix? Deep breaths, proper sleep, and enough food. Skipping meals leaves you hungrier later, affecting digestion and disrupting sleep. <em>&ldquo;A well-rested body is a well-functioning body. Prioritizing good sleep and balanced meals is key.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Is Food the Main Factor Affecting Weight?</strong></span></p>
<p>Many people think weight is just about calories in, and calories out, but Fayrouz challenges that idea.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;There are five major factors that affect weigh</em>t,&rdquo; she explains. &ldquo;<em>It&rsquo;s not just about food&mdash;it&rsquo;s about your emotional, social, and environmental well-being. Everything is connected.</em>&rdquo;</p>
<p>When stress is high, your body clings to energy sources, making extreme dieting or calorie-counting backfire. &ldquo;Numbers matter, sure, but if you&rsquo;re stressed out, your body reacts differently. Weight loss isn&rsquo;t just about food&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how your whole body responds to your environment.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What Would You Tell Your Younger Self?</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice about food and health, what would it be?</strong></p>
<p>Fayrouz keeps it simple: <em><strong>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t restrict food unnecessar</strong>ily.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re eating for your body now, not just for your age. Instead of extreme restriction, focus on balance. Calories matter, yes, but it&rsquo;s about what you eat, not just the numbers.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>The Science Behind Hunger and Fullness</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When it comes to eating habits, understanding how your body signals hunger and fullness is crucial. Two key hormones play a major role in this process:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Ghrelin &ndash; The Hunger Hormone</strong></p>
<p>Produced in the stomach, ghrelin signals your brain when it&rsquo;s time to eat. Its levels rise before meals, making you feel hungry, and decrease after eating. If you find yourself constantly craving food, ghrelin might be at play&mdash;especially if your eating schedule is inconsistent.</p>
<p><strong>2. Leptin &ndash; The Fullness Hormone</strong></p>
<p>Leptin, on the other hand, is released by fat cells and tells your brain when you&rsquo;re full. When leptin levels are high, you naturally eat less. However, chronic stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy eating habits can disrupt leptin sensitivity, making it harder to recognize when you&rsquo;ve had enough.</p>
<p>According to Fayrouz, maintaining balanced hormone levels isn&rsquo;t just about what you eat&mdash;it&rsquo;s also about lifestyle. by tuning into these natural cues, you can create a healthier relationship with food--not just during Ramadan, but all year round.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Make Ramadan Work for You</strong></span></p>
<p>Ramadan isn&rsquo;t just about fasting&mdash;it&rsquo;s an opportunity to check in with yourself. Instead of obsessing over food, ask yourself: How are my stress levels? Am I sleeping enough? Is my body getting what it truly needs?</p>
<p>When you take a holistic approach&mdash;balancing meals, managing stress, and getting enough rest&mdash;you&rsquo;ll feel lighter, stronger, and more energized. Not just during Ramadan, but all year long.</p>

Fayrouz Eid on Health, Eating Habits, and How to Make Ramadan Work for You

<p>Dr. Hajar El Haddawy, Director of Digital Corporation Organization also a board member with the CEO Women conference, adding to that, El Haddawy has a line inter-governmental and diplomacy, the focus of the 4th edition was Women in Tech</p>
<p>she stated in an interview with Nile FM that: <em>"Empowering woman in not a need, it's a necessity, so it's not only driving conferences but doing an impact, therefore this journey was all about impact, pulling women together from different verticals, industries, countries, and therefore we have diversity in terms of topics, but also in terms of people".</em></p>
<p>Dr. Hajar El Haddawy is the Director of the Digital Corporation Organization and a board member of the CEO Women Conference. In addition, El Haddawy has a background in intergovernmental relations and diplomacy. The focus of the 4th edition of the CEO Women Conference was "Women in Tech."</p>
<p>In an interview with Nile FM, she stated: "Empowering women is not a need, it's a necessity. It&rsquo;s not only about driving conferences, but also making an impact. This journey was all about impact&mdash;bringing women together from different verticals, industries, and countries. As a result, we have diversity not only in terms of topics but also in terms of people."</p>
<p>When asked about her role in the CEO Women Conference, Hajar replied, "The role, as you can imagine, is demanding! It's about building resilience in our member states from a digital economy perspective, but also ensuring prosperity for all. We drive projects to build resilience, empower GDP, and increase job creation in our member states. It&rsquo;s all about impact." She added that the goal is to build a community where all stakeholders, partners, and individuals can thrive together.</p>
<p>When asked whether women still face challenges or need to work twice as hard to achieve higher positions, Hajar responded, "Unfortunately, it's a fact that from one country to another, there are differences. There is a gap we need to work on, especially with the rise of AI." She continued, highlighting the importance of inclusivity in generative AI and the need for human-centered creation material. "Yes, there is a gap, and we need more women in the C-suite who have an impact on closing this gap."</p>
<p>Hajar also discussed the level of interest in the tech industry for women, saying, "It&rsquo;s very contradictory, and it depends on how we include women in corporations, enterprises, and how we guide them to build their own businesses. Of course, it&rsquo;s also important to include them in boards." She pointed out the significant gap: "The gap between universities and the tech industry is substantial. While 80% of university students are women, only 30% make it to board and C-level positions. We need to work on closing this gap and ensure women are empowered to reach the C-suite."</p>

<p>The launch of the CEO Women Club is something Hajar views as a necessity. "Together, as a community, we can empower and elevate each other to build a successful and impactful journey. Therefore, I&rsquo;m very glad and proud to be part of this powerhouse."</p>
<p>When asked about her definition of "Women Empowerment," Hajar said, "It starts with me. No one can empower you; you must empower yourself. What we need to do is share our experiences, provide more role models, and ensure more women are in decision-making positions. Confidence is the true empowerment of women."</p>
<p>She concluded, "Be confident and start your journey!"</p>

Dr. Hajar El Haddawy: Empowering Women and Building Resilience in Tech and Leadership

<p>Mr. Mostafa Hashem, Managing Partner of Focus Experiential Agency and Al-Manfaz Initiative, was NileFM's guest on "The Big Drive," and this is what he told us about &lsquo;Al-Manfaz&rsquo;:&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What exactly is Al-Manfaz?</strong></p>
<p>Let me take you a couple of steps back and tell you the story and how it evolved to Al-Manfaz. So we're focused on experiential marketing. We're a marketing agency. We've been in business for nearly 10 years now. And we've realised we've got a lot of marketing expertise, and we've got some amazing clients that we work with. So we thought, like, well, we could also take this to the next level and do something good for society using our experience and the support of the clients we have. And that's where the whole idea of creating this gateway or hub to enable corporates to create a different experience with all their CSR activities comes in. So, you know, corporations, they do a lot of corporate social responsibility activities, and they do a lot of support in the society. So we thought, instead of just doing donations and that's it, why don't we create an experience around the whole CSR activities corporates do in Egypt? And so they create an experience and support the society. So that's how the whole concept works. And it officially went live in 2023. So, that's when Al-Manfaz was born, and the first activity during Ramadan went live.</p>
<p><strong>What is that experience?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We are not an NGO ourselves. We're a for-profit organisation. But we do partner with two NGOs in Egypt who take care of the actual donation work. But we thought, let's create that different experience. We have created two events that we started in 2023. One is called Kolyum Hikaya, or Every Day a Story, and that happens in Ramadan. Every day during Ramadan we've got a story or an experience that one of our corporates shares with us. The second event is Back to School, so that happens towards September to support children in need when they're going back to school. And we call that Madrasta Al-Sa'adaa, or School of Happiness. So these are the two initiatives that we came up with to create those experiences.Ramadan EventThe way it works is that corporates sponsor the day and the experience, and the aim is to provide Ramadan boxes for those in need, and also we renovate kitchens during Ramadan. This year we're aiming for 100,000 boxes to be distributed across Egypt and renovating 100 kitchens all over the country. So we make sure that everyone gets a share of the boxes and also the kitchen renovations. And during back to school, we provide the children with supplies they need from a school bag, like the key things that you would need. We also provide a lunchbox with the actual supplies that they would need. So milk, drinks, and so on. We also participate in renovating schools. And I must say that this wouldn't have been possible without the support of the government. So I want to also take the opportunity to thank the Ministry of Social Solidarity and Her Excellency Dr. Maya Morsi, and also the Minister of Education, because you can't do social work without the support of those ministries. &nbsp;</p>
<p><br /><strong>What about the Ramadan event this year, and how does it differ from previous Ramadan events?</strong></p>
<p>We built this huge tent, which is actually a hub where it could hold up to 300 people at a time, and we built this belt similar to the ones you get at the airport where you see luggage moving on. That's where the boxes start to get loaded, and we have the corporates come in, and they contribute to the actual packing. But not only do they do the packing; there's a team-building activity involved, so they come in, they do a team-building activity, they do some exercise, a few icebreakers at the beginning, they do a few games, and so on, and then they actually start onto the packing activity. So is it teamwork?Absolutely, and the beauty is that you see everyone on board, from the CEOs and the executive team to all members of staff. Everyone is working hand in hand and participating together. So it becomes quite interesting, and it creates that memorable experience, and you're doing it for a good cause as well. So we're having fun. &nbsp;What's happening new this Ramadan? First of all, we're partnering with a team-building provider, Society of Play. They're going to be doing the team-building activities for the companies this year, so it's going to be a lot more exciting, with some new games involved. So that's one key thing, and it will hopefully create those better vibes and better experiences for those participating. We've also turned the location, the hub, into an Iftar place once the packing is all done. So, you can have your entire team enjoy Iftar in the same place right after you've done the packing activities and all the team-building exercises. So these are two key new things happening on the ground this year, but also the mission itself is getting much bigger. Last year, we aimed at 50,000 boxes.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How many are there this year?</strong></p>
<p>This year, we're aiming at 100,000 boxes and 100 kitchens, so it's a much bigger challenge. We're aiming for more. There's a lot of packing, so you guys need to come over. What about the clients that participate with the Al-Manfaz Initiative?So obviously, without the clients, those corporates that take part every year, AlManfez would not exist. They are the ones that make the contribution. We have had clients with us since the first edition. Absolutely. They come in every year, participate every year, and they just don't get enough of it, which is absolutely. What&rsquo;s the beauty of Al-Manfaz? The beauty of Al-Manfaz versus just making a donation is actually participating in making it happen. The giving part, the donation itself, is fairly easy; like, if you get the means, you can make the donation, but it's taking the time from those executives and those corporates from the team members coming in, contributing, participating&mdash;that's what makes Al-Manfaz different than other activities.</p>
<p><strong>What about the new clients that participate with the Al-Manfaz Initiative?</strong></p>
<p>As I mentioned, there are quite a few clients, and some of them are new this year. Others have been with us since the first day of the first edition in 23. One other client I really want to give a shout-out for today is Maggie. Maggie has made a huge contribution this year as well. Whether it's to the boxes that are going to be distributed or the kitchen renovations as well. They've done a big chunk of the kitchen renovations this year, and they're also making an iftar on Mother's Day.How can other companies join you?We do have a few slots remaining. Most of the Ramadan calendar is now fully booked, but we still do have slots remaining for Ramadan. So if you're really keen on joining, you better do it this week or it's going to be gone. But also, if you've got no time to join us in Ramadan, you could also join us at Back to School in September, where we start the activities towards June time. So if you want to reach out, the number one source would be Instagram, almanfez.eg. You could reach us through there, or you could call us on our phone number, which is 011-500-24674. and we'd be more than happy to take a few more companies if we still have slots. Get on it.

Mr. Mostafa Hashem, Managing Partner Of Focus Experiential Agency And Al-Manfaz Initiative, Shares His Experience On Al-Manfaz

<p>Raouf El Sherif, the Egyptian content creator, was NileFM's guest on "Brain Busters", and this what he told us about &lsquo;jumping out of your comfort zone&rsquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What makes jumping out of comfort zone hard for most people?</strong></span></p>
<p>It depends on the setting. People usually are afraid to do it when their friends are watching or when people they might know make fun of them. For example, when you start a TIKTOK account, people want to make silly videos. They will be worried about who will watch their videos, and one will &nbsp;feel embarrassed when they know someone is watching you. By the time you build confidence, you start to be brave.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Why do you think traveling, or going to an event scene is so intimidating for some people?</strong></span></p>
<p>People's biggest concern is their safety, so having someone there usually provides you with &nbsp;more safety, it makes you feel that &nbsp;if something would go wrong you will have someone you know there, &nbsp;especially if you go to foreign country, and you don&rsquo;t know anyone it does help comfort you, but at the same time just &nbsp;doing &nbsp;those new things alone is a great experience, it forces you to go out your comfort zone as long as you don&rsquo;t go into a bad accident God forbid , but it&rsquo;s a great experience, and there are good stories come out there.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What advice would you give to someone who &nbsp;has never jumped out of their comfort zone?</strong></span></p>
<p>I would say practice being more social like for example just joke around with your local barista a bit more, &nbsp;talk to strangers a bit more, safely of course and take precautions Speak to people around you more often especially strangers, &nbsp;just be more smiley be just more friendly, easier to talk to because people will approach you &nbsp;and it is &nbsp;a lot &nbsp;easier when you are &nbsp;approached than approaching someone. Also when you do go abroad, especially if people don't speak the language of &nbsp;that country, it's really intimidating to just speak with strangers but if you're already used to that and &nbsp;if it's in your blood, &nbsp;it's a habit. &nbsp;You just need that social energy cause you miss it so you going be forced to speak to others &nbsp;and before you know you going to be introduced to most amazing people, and they going inviting you to places you never thought you will go.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Do you think social media helps people to feel brave enough to take risks, or does it make them feel more hesitant?</strong></span></p>
<p>Definitely, more hesitant,&nbsp; if you think about it people could be very mean online, especially when &nbsp;the strangers &nbsp;are hiding behind the keyboard, they &nbsp;are more likely to share hurtful opinions about you, once you put yourself out there to everyone to be seen it&rsquo;s very dangerous, it is a risky game, so you must be super confident, and also don&rsquo;t care about people&rsquo;s &nbsp;opinions. Also, don&rsquo;t care about the &nbsp;positive opinions, because if you really care about those once those are gone you going to feel empty inside, you don&rsquo;t need reassurance from strangers so you need to be confident in whatever you're posting and just know that the first video post online or the first thing that you ever do it's never going to be perfect and you can always get better, and better and same time it's going to take you months, and years to perfect it so don't stress yourself.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What do you do to chase your dreams?</strong></span></p>
<p>I &nbsp;always tell people I do a lot of things for the younger version of me, there is something in life I don&rsquo;t want anymore, but I know that the younger me would be happy with, for example, I went to WrestleMania in the US, and I wasn&rsquo;t really a fan anymore but a younger version of me have loved to do.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about taking risks, what would it be?</strong></span></p>
<p>I would say that you are never going to achieve your dreams if you just stay in your comfort zone, all the big dreams have some elements of risk in them, or otherwise, everyone would have done them, so if it&rsquo;s not risky, then it&rsquo;s not worth it. You got the &nbsp;leap of faith.</p>

Michael Bublé to Perform Live in Egypt for the First Time — Sponsored by Nile FM

<p>Lady Gaga has broken records by performing for 2.5 million people at a free concert in Rio de Janeiro. This is the largest audience ever recorded for a female performer, surpassing Madonna&rsquo;s long-standing record.</p>
<p>According to event organizers, this electrifying show now holds the record for the highest-attended concert by a female artist in history. Madonna previously held the record with 1.6 million attendees at a 1987 performance in Paris.</p>
<p>During her set, Gaga paid tribute to the monumental crowd by declaring, &ldquo;Your spirit may be heard around the world tonight. Two and a half million people.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The Grammy and Oscar-winning artist later took to Instagram to express her heartfelt gratitude:</p>
<p>"Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night&rsquo;s show&mdash;the absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil. The sight of the crowd during my opening songs took my breath away. Your heart shines so bright; your culture is so vibrant and special. I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historic moment with you."</p>
<p>"An estimated 2.5 million people came to see me sing&mdash;the biggest crowd for any woman in history. I wish I could share this feeling with the whole world. I know I can&rsquo;t, but I can say this: if you lose your way, you can find your way back if you believe in yourself and work hard. You can give yourself dignity by rehearsing your passion and your craft, pushing yourself to new heights. You can lift yourself up&mdash;even if it takes time."</p>
<p>"Thank you, Rio, for waiting for me to come back. Thank you, little monsters all over the world. I love you. I will never forget this moment. Paws up, little monsters. Obrigada. Love, Mother Monster."</p>

<p>After capturing the hearts of viewers across Egypt during Ramadan 2025, Lam Shamseya is now taking its message across borders. The emotionally charged series, which stirred national conversations with its nuanced portrayal of child abuse and motherhood, is set to premiere at Colorado&rsquo;s prestigious SeriesFest on May 4th.</p>
<p>The international festival, now in its tenth year, celebrates outstanding storytelling in television, and Lam Shamseya&rsquo;s inclusion signals a growing global appetite for bold, socially rooted Arabic dramas. The premiere episode will be followed by an exclusive talk with acclaimed screenwriter Mariam Naoum and director Karim El-Shenawy, giving international audiences a closer look at the creative minds behind the show.</p>
<p>Starring Amina Khalil, Ahmed El-Saadany, Mohamed Shaheen, and Youssra El Lozy, the drama dives deep into the emotional and psychological complexities of parenting in a pressure-heavy society. Developed in partnership with Egypt&rsquo;s National Council for Women and the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood, the series received recognition from the Ministry of Social Solidarity for its role in highlighting parenting challenges and societal expectations.</p>
<p>Lam Shamseya&rsquo;s appearance at SeriesFest not only elevates Egyptian television to a global stage, but also reflects a broader shift&mdash;Arab voices are increasingly finding space in the international content conversation. And if the series' domestic reception is any indicator, this won&rsquo;t be the last time we see a homegrown hit making waves abroad.</p>

<p>The Egyptian Football Association (EFA), led by Engineer Hany Abo Rida, has officially announced that the Egypt Cup final between Zamalek SC and Pyramids FC will take place on 5th June, at Cairo International Stadium.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fefasocial%2Fposts%2Fpfbid07RR9xKfM56TKqHeH44vJV79zK1SovG3wrcumZHTM1QukrDDKBHGEYpoa7Gt2Jtdkl&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" width="500" height="498" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Originally scheduled for 20th May, the final was postponed at the request of Pyramids FC, who needed to change the date due to their participation in the CAF Champions League final against South Africa&rsquo;s Mamelodi Sundowns.</p>
<p>Pyramids will play the first leg of the CAF final in South Africa on 24th May and will host the second leg at Air Defense Stadium on 1st June, just four days before the Egypt Cup final.</p>
<p>Pyramids FC enters the final as the defending champions, having narrowly defeated ZED FC 1-0 in last season&rsquo;s title match. With both teams in strong form, excitement is mounting for what promises to be a thrilling clash at Cairo Stadium.</p>

<p>After a four-year break since her album Solar Power, Lorde is back with a new work. Her fourth studio album, titled Virgin, will be released on 27th June. It includes 11 tracks, featuring the haunting single &ldquo;What Was That,&rdquo; which has already been released.</p>
<p>Although many details about the album are still secret, Lorde has shared some clues about its style and themes. She describes Virgin as &ldquo;100% written in blood&rdquo; and says its color is &ldquo;clear&mdash;like bathwater, windows, ice, spit.&rdquo; She aims for the music to be &ldquo;plain and unsentimental.&rdquo;</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flordemusic%2Fvideos%2F2069545993532391%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="560" height="314" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>In a note to her fans, she wrote:&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&ldquo;I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity: raw, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual&rdquo;</em></strong></p>
<p>For this album, Lorde worked with the well-known producer Jim-E Stack, She also worked with Daniel Nigro, a Grammy-winning producer famous for his work with Olivia Rodrigo.</p>
<p>This album shows a change from the sunny vibe of Solar Power. Lorde hints at deeper emotions and a more vulnerable approach. She shared, &ldquo;There&rsquo;s nowhere to hide. I&rsquo;m proud and scared of this album. I believe that putting the deepest parts of ourselves into music is what sets us free.&rdquo;</p>
<p>With albums like Pure Heroine and Melodrama, Virgin is likely to be her boldest and honest work so far.</p>

<p>Starting tomorrow, 5th May , WhatsApp will officially stop functioning on a new list of smartphones, as part of Meta's routine updates to its app compatibility policies. The move will affect devices running outdated operating systems that no longer meet the app&rsquo;s minimum security and performance requirements.</p>
<p>According to WhatsApp&rsquo;s latest announcement, users with older Android or iOS phones may lose access to the service unless they upgrade their devices or update their operating systems, if possible.</p>
<p>Among the models that will be affected are early versions of iPhones running iOS 12 or earlier, and Android devices operating on version 5.0 (Lollipop) or older.</p>
<p><strong>Which Devices Are Affected?</strong></p>
<p>The phones affected mostly include models running Android versions below 5.0 and iPhones running iOS 12 or earlier. <strong>Among the models listed are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>IPhone 6 and earlier</strong></li>
<li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini</strong></li>
<li><strong>Sony Xperia M</strong></li>
<li><strong>Huawei Ascend D2</strong></li>
<li><strong>LG Optimus F7 and several others</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><br />The company emphasized that users will receive in-app alerts before the service is discontinued on unsupported devices. It also encourages backing up chat history before upgrading.</p>
<p>WhatsApp, owned by Meta, regularly discontinues support for older devices to ensure compatibility with the latest security features, data encryption protocols, and app functions. While the change will not impact the majority of users, those with legacy phones may find themselves suddenly disconnected if they do not act promptly.</p>
<p>To check whether your phone is affected, go to <strong>Settings &gt; Software Update</strong>, and verify your current operating system version.</p>

<p><strong>An Impressive Legacy</strong></p>
<p>The 64-year-old Swiss coach took charge at Al Ahly in September 2022, succeeding Portuguese manager Ricardo Soares. In less than two years, Koller led the team to an impressive 11 trophies, re-establishing Al Ahly&rsquo;s dominance both domestically and continentally. Despite the recent disappointment of exiting the CAF Champions League against South Africa&rsquo;s Mamelodi Sundowns, the prevailing sentiment among fans is one of pride, not frustration. To them, Koller was not just a coach; he was a symbol of discipline, leadership, and ambition. His emotional farewell message on social media further strengthened his bond with the fans, who made it clear: while he may be leaving, his legacy will remain etched in Al Ahly&rsquo;s history&mdash;and in the heart of Cairo.</p>

<p>Just weeks ago, John Cena made history by winning his record-breaking 17th world title, defeating Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 41, Night 2.

<p>Throughout their careers, Cena and Orton have clashed in nearly every setting imaginable: singles matches, tag team bouts, and multi-competitor showdowns. In one-on-one encounters alone, they've faced off 21 times, with Cena holding a slight edge, winning 13 matches to Orton&rsquo;s 8.</p>
<p>Their battles have been fierce, personal, and unforgettable, making their clash at Backlash a must-see for any WWE fan.</p>

<p><strong>A Selfie to Remember&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>After scoring his goal in the second half, where he cut inside brilliantly to finish, Salah created an unforgettable moment. Just 63 minutes into the match, he accepted a fan&rsquo;s phone and posed for a selfie right on the pitch, much to the delight of the Anfield crowd. Salah later reflected on the moment, saying, &ldquo;To win it at Anfield is INCREDIBLE.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FArabicLFC%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0CGr8XUrevdJrazkEnRj8ySE5KkFJ1R3DTJ1mmpUKe8TmoVHBTC9Ar7BCXfxNj8vel&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" width="500" height="498" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Top Scorer, Top Creator</strong></p>
<p>Salah couldn&rsquo;t hide his joy at finishing the season as both the Premier League&rsquo;s top scorer with 28 goals and the top assist provider with 18 assists. With these impressive statistics, he is edging closer to winning the prestigious Golden Boot once again. In a post-match interview, Salah shared his excitement: &ldquo;The feeling is unbelievable. To play at home and to win the title by winning the game &mdash; it's incredible.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FArabicLFC%2Fvideos%2F1831047557657947%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=476&amp;t=0" width="476" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Looking ahead to next season under new manager Arne Slot, Salah said, &ldquo;People think it will be easier now, but it will be even harder. Other teams will be trying to catch us.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Proudly Raising the Egyptian Flag&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>As celebrations erupted, Salah didn&rsquo;t just dance with fans; he proudly raised the Egyptian flag high above his head, symbolizing his love for his homeland. This wasn&rsquo;t the first time Salah had carried the Egyptian flag during a celebration, reinforcing his reputation as the "Egyptian King," a title he wears with immense pride.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FArabicLFC%2Fposts%2Fpfbid022yErcsp4RGPpooCwkAj37zQ2ifqGKhmYrddktPy5bbAosYWuVvjRqJhHhtnuPuT4l&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" width="500" height="498" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>A Song for the King</strong></p>
<p>After the final whistle, fans called Salah over, serenading him with their famous chant: &ldquo;Mo Salah, Mo Salah, the Egyptian King!&rdquo; The bond between Salah and Liverpool fans is truly special. They have shown him and his family endless love, whether cheering for his daughter Makka, who playfully scored a goal on the Anfield pitch, or celebrating the murals dedicated to Salah across the city.</p>

<p>This surreal image of a runway suspended high above the city is actually AI-generated, but it raises a fascinating question: could sky-high catwalks be the norm in 10 years? With the rise of drone technology, immersive experiences, and gravity-defying restaurants (yes, we&rsquo;re looking at you, Dinner in the Sky), it&rsquo;s not that far-fetched.</p>
<p>The concept imagines a floating platform, complete with fashion editors, photographers, and front-row glitterati calmly seated mid-air while models strut their stuff on a narrow runway. The view? Just your average, jaw-dropping skyline.</p>
<p>Sure, it might be AI fantasy for now, but as technology and showmanship continue to collide, fashion shows are evolving into cinematic spectacles. First came digital collections, then the metaverse &mdash; and now? Maybe the sky&rsquo;s the limit... literally.</p>
<p><strong>Would you dare attend a fashion show floating hundreds of meters above the ground? Or will sky couture remain just a stylish dream? Either way, this concept has us hooked.</strong></p>

"Runway in the Sky?” This AI-Generated Fashion Show Might Just Be a Glimpse into the Future

<p>Bill Gates recently opened up about how much of his vast fortune his children will inherit after his death. During an appearance on the Figuring Out with Raj Shamani podcast, the Microsoft co-founder shared that his three children would receive only 1% of his wealth. Despite the small percentage, it will still amount to over a billion dollars.</p>
<p>&ldquo;My kids got a great upbringing and education, but they will receive less than 1 percent of the total wealth because I don&rsquo;t think it would be helpful to them,&rdquo; said Bill. He has three children&mdash;daughters Jennifer (28) and Phoebe (22), and son Rory (25)&mdash;with ex-wife Melinda French Gates.</p>
<p>Currently, Gates' net worth stands at $102.2 billion, according to Forbes' 2025 Billionaire List. His reasoning for not leaving them a larger inheritance? He doesn&rsquo;t want them to be burdened by his fortune. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not expecting them to follow in my footsteps. I&rsquo;m not creating a dynasty,&rdquo; he added. "They should have their own chance to earn success without being overshadowed by my own."</p>
<p>While Bill Gates is committed to giving his children opportunities, he also explained his philosophy of wealth distribution. He&rsquo;s dedicated to giving the majority of his wealth to charity, particularly through the Gates Foundation. &ldquo;The highest purpose of my resources is to support the neediest, and I want my kids to understand that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Gates, who has pledged to give away the majority of his fortune to address global social issues, has been donating approximately $9 billion a year. He also stated that he aims to no longer be one of the wealthiest individuals in the world within the next 20 years. &ldquo;I have more than enough money for my own consumption,&rdquo; Gates shared. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be proud when I&rsquo;m no longer on the list.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Earlier, Gates had emphasized his commitment to giving "virtually all" of his wealth to the Gates Foundation, which he co-founded with Melinda in 2000. "I feel an obligation to use my resources in ways that will have the most significant impact on reducing suffering and improving lives."</p>

<p>Alex Proyas, the director of the 2004 sci-fi film, "I, Robot" has claimed that Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk is copying his designs from the movie.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These claims came after Musk unveiled&nbsp;Tesla's new Cybercab, which includes winged doors and no steering wheel or pedals, Musk also revealed a new look at&nbsp;Optimus robots.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7Dlo-VB0-HI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>After Tesla's event, Proyas took to X to voice his concerns about the similarities between "I, Robot" and "Tesla" designs, saying, "Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please".&nbsp;</p>
<p>The production designer of "I, Robot", Patrick Tatopoulos, also reposted an image comparing the designs from the film and Tesla's designs, and he captioned it with&nbsp;"Maybe it is just me? Or should I feel honored that Elon found some inspiration in my I ROBOT designs? Probably my imagination running wild. Well either way it&rsquo;s fun to watch".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Google announced that starting from the 1st of May, 2025, all AdSense, AdSense for YouTube, AdMob, and Ad Manager payouts in Egypt will be made in Egyptian Pounds instead of&nbsp;US Dollars.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This change&nbsp;is part of Google's initiative to transition all payments worldwide into local currencies.</p>
<p>On the 1st of April, a new payment account will be created for all AdSense, Adsense for YouTube, AdMob, and Ad Manager users, and they may need to link a bank account that accepts local currency to it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's worth mentioning that the old payment account in US Dollars will be deactivated in April 2025, however, users will still be able to access it from their payment page to view past activities.</p>

<p>Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg also showcased Orion, Meta's first real AR glasses, which he called &ldquo;the most advanced glasses the world has ever seen&rdquo;.</p>

<p>The smart glasses can project digital representations of media, people, games, and communications onto the real world, as the user can control Orion with his voice, or hand gestures.</p>
<p>Orion is not yet scheduled for release, but according to Zuckerberg, it will ultimately be the "first consumer full holographic AR glasses" from Meta.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The creator of the well-known card game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk's SpaceX&nbsp;for $15m, over claims of damaging and trespassing on land owned by his company in Texas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The card game creator filed a lawsuit in Texas court claiming that SpaceX has been using the company's land as its own for at least the last six months.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to the lawsuit, SpaceX, which had already purchased other nearby lands, had placed building materials such as gravel, and other debris on the property without obtaining authorization.</p>
<p>it's worth mentioning that Cards Against Humanity purchased the land mentioned in the lawsuit back in 2017&nbsp;as part of a stunt to prevent President Donald Trump's border wall from being built in the area, and the company said that they purchased the land after 150,000 subscribers had each contributed $15 towards the Cards Against Humanity Saves America campaign.&nbsp;</p>
