Days after Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah signed a two-year contract with Trabzonspor, the Turkish club has continued to celebrate his arrival with a warm welcome that goes beyond football.
Trabzonspor&rsquo;s promotional video featuring Salah quickly spread across social media, attracting attention not only for the way the club welcomed its new star but also for its celebration of the culture and hospitality of the Black Sea region.
The official Trabzonspor page shared the video with the caption: &ldquo;Those who say &lsquo;you will see in a dream&rsquo;... Dreams come true for us.&rdquo;
A Warm Turkish Welcome
The video presents Salah as a new member of a traditional Turkish family, highlighting the region&rsquo;s famous hospitality.
A grandmother prepares a variety of traditional dishes as the family waits to welcome Salah into his new home. The concept reflects the idea of treating him like a member of the family, with the grandmother making sure he is well-fed before he heads to training with his new club.
The setting and food choices also highlight Trabzon&rsquo;s Black Sea identity, connecting Salah&rsquo;s arrival with the culture of the region where Trabzonspor is based.
What Traditional Turkish Food Did Mohamed Salah Eat?
The promotional video puts the spotlight on several traditional Turkish dishes, particularly those associated with the Black Sea region.
Kuymak is one of the most recognisable dishes featured in the video. A speciality of the Black Sea region, this rich and stretchy dish is made with cornmeal, butter, water and melting cheese. The ingredients are cooked gently until the cheese reaches its signature stretchy consistency, while the butter rises to the surface.
Stuffed collard greens, known as kara lahana sarması or dolması, are another traditional dish strongly associated with the Black Sea region. Collard leaves are filled with a savoury mixture that can include rice or bulgur, minced meat, onions and herbs before being slowly cooked in a flavourful tomato-based sauce.
The video also shows blueberries, with Salah enjoying them before heading off to training, adding a playful touch to the traditional family-style welcome.
Stuffed vine leaves, known as sarma or dolma, are another classic of Turkish cuisine. Tender grape leaves are wrapped around a flavourful filling typically made with rice, herbs and spices.
The breakfast table also features honey and kaymak, a traditional Turkish pairing that combines thick, creamy clotted cream with sweet local honey.

Reflecting Traditions And Promoting Tourism
The promotional video does more than announce Mohamed Salah&rsquo;s arrival at Trabzonspor. It uses food, family and hospitality to introduce the Egyptian football star to the culture of his new home, while showcasing traditions that make Trabzon and the wider Black Sea region distinctive.
The campaign also demonstrates how football can become a platform for cultural exchange and tourism promotion. By featuring traditional dishes and local customs, Trabzonspor gives its international audience a glimpse of the region beyond the football pitch, potentially encouraging greater interest in its food, traditions and local identity.
This is particularly significant for Trabzonspor, which is closely connected to the Black Sea region and is nicknamed the &ldquo;Black Sea Storm&rdquo;. The appearance of well-known local dishes in the advertisement reinforces the club&rsquo;s regional identity while introducing these traditions to Salah&rsquo;s global fanbase.
The video also creates an intercultural connection between Salah&rsquo;s Egyptian background and his new Turkish home. By portraying him as a welcomed guest being treated like part of the family, the campaign presents his transfer as more than a sporting move. It becomes a cultural exchange bringing together football, hospitality, local identity and tourism.
About Trabzonspor
Founded in 1967, Trabzonspor is one of Turkey&rsquo;s most successful football clubs and was the first team from outside Istanbul to win the Turkish top-flight title, achieving that milestone in 1976.
The club won six league titles during its dominant period between 1975 and 1985 before claiming another S&uuml;per Lig championship in the 2021-22 season. Trabzonspor has also enjoyed memorable European victories over clubs including Liverpool, Aston Villa, Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Today, the club remains one of the biggest symbols of football in Turkey&rsquo;s Black Sea region, with Salah now the latest star to wear its famous burgundy and blue colours.

Ahmed Ghozzi And Kozbara Reunite In "Mahmoud El Tany": All We Know So Far

From a chance meeting in Dahab, a seaside town on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba, during the pandemic to international electronic music stages, Egyptian-Canadian duo Husa &amp; Zeyada have developed a sound that blends deep house, indie rock and atmospheric synths with Arabic and English lyrics.
For the duo, Dahab became more than just a location; it became part of their creative identity.
During their appearance on "Let's Dance" with Nancy on NileFM, Husa &amp; Zeyada reflected on how they met, how Dahab shaped their creative process, the story behind their electronic reimagining of the late Hany Shenouda's "Hezeny", and their plans for new music and their independent label, Sound School.
A Chance Meeting That Changed Everything
For Husa &amp; Zeyada, the pandemic became the turning point that brought them together.
"We like to believe that somehow we would have found our way to each other," Zeyada said. "But no, not in its current form. We like to believe that things work out because it's fate. We met in Dahab, and that influenced the music that we make."
At the time, Husa had moved to Dahab during the pandemic, while Zeyada had arrived for what was meant to be a short holiday. Through their mutual friend and producer Hot Oasis (Mostafa), they met during one of his final jam sessions before he moved to the UK.
"We just didn't know we were going to be a duo yet," Zeyada recalled. "We met and wanted to get in the studio together."
That first session quickly led to another.
"Two or three days later, we got in the studio, and then we were like, 'Okay, again tomorrow.' And then we never stopped. It just kept happening."
How Dahab Shaped Their Sound
Dahab, a coastal town on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, became more than a location for the duo. It became part of their creative identity.
"Making music reflects you. You reflect your environment when you're making music," Husa explained. "Being in the mountains, with the simplicity and away from city life, definitely reflects in the music."
For Zeyada, who previously studied in New York after growing up in Cairo, living closer to nature changed the way she approached creativity.
"I always thought I'm a city girl. I love the mess of the city. I thrive under chaos," she said. "But I did well, not as well as I did in nature. When I was actually relaxed and surrounded by inspiration, we were a lot more productive when we gave ourselves space, time and nature. It definitely changed everything about the way we make music and our sound."
Husa added that Dahab's international community also influenced their work.
"It's a big part of the place. It has a real native culture and a community with people from different parts of the world."
Blending Two Musical Worlds
Although Zeyada came from an indie rock background and Husa built his career in electronic house music, they never saw their different influences as a challenge.
Instead, they used those contrasts to shape their sound, focusing first on rhythm and feeling.
"We were obsessing over groove," Zeyada explained, describing how a simple musical idea can become the foundation for an entire track.
Their creative process has also evolved. While they initially developed ideas separately, they now work together in their home studio, constantly refining songs until they both feel satisfied.
Why Their First Album Came Together Quickly
While many artists spend years developing their debut albums, Husa &amp; Zeyada completed theirs in just one month.
For Husa, the reason was simplicity.
"The more you know, the more complicated it gets," he said. "We made that first album right after we met each other. Everything was simple. We didn't know enough, so there weren't all these calculations."
As they have grown as artists, they have learned to accept that each song has its own timeline.
"There are albums that took much longer," Zeyada said. "Some songs are finished very quickly, while others take years. We're starting to accept that as part of the process."
Rather than forcing creativity, the duo moves between projects and returns to unfinished songs when the time feels right.
Reimagining Hany Shenouda's "Hezeny"
One of their recent projects is their electronic interpretation of "Hezeny", the classic song originally performed by Al Massrieen and composed by Egyptian musician Hany Shenouda.
While the remix introduces the track to a new audience, it also became one of the duo's most meaningful projects.
"A lot of people recognise the original, which is a brilliant track," Zeyada said. "We actually had the song for almost two years and worked with Hany Shenouda on a new version."
She revealed that Shenouda personally listened to their remix and supported the project.
"He heard it, liked our edit, and wanted to re-release an album with re-edits while keeping the original lyrics. We went back into the studio, re-recorded everything together, and had his approval. That was really a blessing. This project is very close to our hearts."
For Husa &amp; Zeyada, the remix was not simply about updating a classic. It was about celebrating Shenouda's contribution to Egyptian music while introducing his work to a new generation of listeners.
Why Fans Hear New Music Before Release
For the duo, the creative process continues beyond the studio. Many of their songs are tested live before they officially arrive on streaming platforms.
"One cool part about us is that you can always hear unreleased stuff in our live shows," Zeyada said. "We're always finishing new music, so we play it live first."
Performing unfinished material allows them to continue developing songs while sharing that process with their audience.
"We're working on things while we're performing them. They're not even fully finished. We'll go back to the studio and add things or change things."
The approach means every performance can offer something different while giving fans an early glimpse of future releases.
Building More Than a Label
To support their growing catalogue, Husa &amp; Zeyada launched their independent label, Sound School.
Rather than simply releasing music, they see it as a creative platform connecting musicians, visual artists and filmmakers.
"It's more than just a label," they explained. "It's a whole world we're trying to build through audio, visuals and a network of artists working together."
For Husa, creating the label solved a practical challenge.
"We had all this music waiting to be released. Now we have an outlet where projects can continue to grow instead of disappearing after release."
Zeyada said the label also gives them freedom to think beyond short-term success.
"A lot of the time with labels, they're looking at a song as profit now, hype and charts," she said. "I don't want my music to be considered only in that sense. Every song has a story. I don't want it to be consumed now, hit the charts and then disappear a few months later."
Instead, they want each release to remain part of a wider creative world.
New Music on the Way
Husa &amp; Zeyada are preparing several new projects, each exploring a different side of their sound.
They hope to release three albums before the end of the year, including dance and disco-inspired music, an indie-focused record and a rave-oriented project.
Zeyada is also working on a solo Arabic shoegaze project, with Husa helping develop the music.
During their NileFM appearance, the duo premiered an unreleased track titled "Kings Don't Fall".
"It's our most recently finished work," they said. "The album has more punk rock elements with some disco influences. It should start releasing in the fall and be complete by winter."
Their latest project, "To Belong", represents another stage in their evolving musical journey.
Creating Together as Partners
Being creative partners and husband and wife means music is part of almost every aspect of their lives.
"From the beginning, everything was very intertwined," Zeyada said. "Once we got past the question of whether we should mix work and life, it changed everything in great ways."
Working together has also taught them the importance of communication.
"If there's an issue, whether it's personal or music related, we have to deal with it," she explained. "If we don't fix it, everything is on pause."
Rather than separating their personal and professional lives, they have learned to allow each side to strengthen the other.
Taking Their Music Around the World
Although Husa &amp; Zeyada have performed internationally for years, one show remains particularly significant.
They recalled performing alongside renowned DJ Hern&aacute;n Catt&aacute;neo at Sunsetstrip Buenos Aires in 2023, where they played in front of one of the largest crowds of their career.
"That was the moment we looked at each other and thought, 'I think we're making it,'" they said.
The duo are now preparing for further international performances across Germany, Spain, Canada, Mexico and India before returning to Cairo this winter.
Alongside their releases, they hope to continue expanding Sound School as a creative ecosystem for artists.
"We're trying to solidify this ecosystem of artists. People that want to get together for creation."
From a spontaneous jam session in Dahab to international stages and a growing artistic community, Husa &amp; Zeyada continue to build their sound around collaboration, curiosity and connection.

Husa & Zeyada Reveal How Hany Shenouda Approved Their "Hezeny" Remix And What's Next

Nevine Salah Eldin turned decades of international travel into inspiration for a handcrafted Egyptian chocolate brand, leaving behind a 30-year career in the travel and aviation industry to pursue a new passion.
Speaking on &ldquo;The Big Drive&rdquo; with Zeinab and Sami as part of the Made in Egypt segment, Nevine shared how she launched &lsquo;Chocolati&egrave;re Delights&rsquo;, a local business focused on premium handmade chocolates.
NileFM explored the story behind the Egyptian brand, which aims to compete with some of the world&rsquo;s finest chocolates while showcasing local creativity and flavours.
Inspired by Swiss Chocolate
During her years in aviation, Nevine frequently travelled to Switzerland, where she developed a strong appreciation for its world-famous chocolate industry.
&ldquo;I used to travel to Switzerland all the time and inspired by Swiss handmade chocolate, I always asked myself, &lsquo;Why don&rsquo;t we have a similar project in Egypt?&rsquo;&rdquo; she said.
In 2025, she decided to step away from her career and explore a completely new path.
&ldquo;I did not know exactly what I wanted to do. My friends always told me I was a good cook, and one day I came across a video of a Russian chocolatier on social media. That was when I decided to learn chocolate-making from scratch.&rdquo;
Although she initially expected the process to be simple, she quickly discovered the challenges involved.
&ldquo;At first, I thought it would be easy, but it is actually very difficult. People try my chocolate and often cannot believe it is handmade in Egypt.&rdquo;
Building an Egyptian Brand
Nevine says the biggest lesson she learned from international companies was the importance of quality.
&ldquo;The most important thing is to provide the best quality possible. Quality allows you to compete with anyone. But it is not enough; you have to continue improving and developing your products.&rdquo;
She believes Egypt has the talent and resources needed to compete in international markets.
&ldquo;We have quality materials and incredibly creative people, so why should we not compete with global brands?&rdquo;
Never Giving Up
Like many entrepreneurs, Nevine faced moments when she considered abandoning her project.
&ldquo;Whenever I had to travel, I did not like producing chocolate and leaving it in storage. Every occasion made me think about quitting.&rdquo;
However, her ambition kept bringing her back.
&ldquo;The next day, I would tell myself, &lsquo;No, this is my dream.&rsquo; I wanted to create an Egyptian product that could compete with Belgian and Swiss chocolate, and I refused to fail.&rdquo;
Today, her products are made entirely with premium ingredients, and she continues to look for ways to make the brand stand out.
In September 2026, she plans to launch a new collection inspired entirely by Egyptian flavours.
Quality Beyond the Price Tag
For Nevine, premium quality is not simply about choosing the most expensive ingredients.
&ldquo;Premium does not always mean using the most expensive brands. Sometimes the best ingredient is not the priciest one.&rdquo;
She added that many customers now prefer her Egyptian creations over imported chocolates.
The Power of Social Media
Social media played an important role in helping Nevine launch and grow her business.
&ldquo;First of all, I got the idea from social media. It is also one of the best ways to reach customers.&rdquo;
Her first customers were friends, but recommendations quickly helped the brand expand.
&ldquo;Many of the people who ordered from me did not even know it was my own brand at first. Over time, many customers became friends.&rdquo;
Celebrating Egyptian Identity
One of the most distinctive elements of &lsquo;Chocolati&egrave;re Delights&rsquo; is its Egyptian-inspired chocolate designs.
&ldquo;I wanted something that represents our Egyptian identity.&rdquo;
The idea began when a friend asked her to create a special Egyptian gift for a Chinese client. Nevine started developing Pharaonic-inspired chocolate moulds, although finding suitable designs was not always easy.
The collection gained wider attention following the inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum, later attracting interest from customers abroad, including in Poland.
What&rsquo;s Next?
Nevine is preparing to launch a new range of 100% Egyptian-inspired chocolate products in September 2026, continuing her mission of showcasing local flavours through handmade chocolate.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Nevine ended the interview with a message for those considering starting their own businesses:
&ldquo;Do not wait for the perfect time because it never comes. It is never too late to start. I began a completely new career in my early fifties, and that is proof that dreams have no age limit.&rdquo;
Egyptian entrepreneurs interested in appearing as guests on "The Big Drive" with Zeinab and Sami as part of the Made in Egypt segment can send their stories to: contactnrp@nrp.net.eg. The weekly programme airs every Monday, highlighting inspiring Egyptian brands, entrepreneurs and businesses.
