Expo 2020 Dubai Welcomes Visitors from Every Corner of the Globe

May 10, 2021

With five months to go, Expo’s International Participants confident and committed to a World Expo that will unify, excite and inspire. World Expo

Countries participating in Expo 2020 Dubai are united in their commitment to hosting a World Expo that builds bridges, inspires action and delivers real-life solutions to global challenges – that is the message from delegates attending the sixth International Participations Meeting (IPM), which ended on Wednesday.

More than 370 delegates travelled from around the world to attend the IPM in person, held 4-5 May at Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo 2020 Dubai, to see first-hand Expo 2020’s advanced state of readiness. They represented 173 of Expo’s 190-plus participating countries, with many other participants attending virtually.

Dr Ahmed Maghawry Diab, Head of Egyptian Commercial Service – Ministry of Trade and Industry and Commissioner General for Egypt at Expo 2020 Dubai said “We are eagerly awaiting the opening of Expo 2020 Dubai in October, particularly after we took the hard decision to postpone for one year due to the COVID pandemic – a delay that was necessary to review the precautionary measures to ensure the safety of workers and visitors. The inspiring Egypt Pavilion will take visitors on a breathtaking experience, where they will discover the incredible opportunities that Egypt has to offer based on the legacy of the Egyptian Civilisation.” World Expo

The most diverse World Expo ever, Expo 2020 will welcome more than 200 participants, including nations, multilateral organizations, academic institutions and businesses. For the first time in the 170-year history of World Expos, each participating country will have its own pavilion – a dedicated space where it can showcase its culture and progress to the world, creating partnerships and exploring solutions relevant to its circumstances and people. Some nations, including South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, are participating in a World Expo for the first time.

The first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA), and the largest event to be held in the Arab word, Expo 2020 is a point of pride for the whole region and an opportunity to showcase Arab culture on an international stage.

During the two-day IPM, attendees were briefed on the latest in operations, security, city readiness, marketing and communications, and programming, while organisers also presented the stringent measures being taken to ensure the health and well-being of Expo’s workforce, participants and visitors, in line with the UAE’s wider efforts to combat COVID-19.

Expo 2020 Dubai will run from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022, coinciding with the 50-year anniversary of the founding of the UAE. It is inviting visitors from every corner of the globe to join the making of a new world, as they discover life-changing innovations that will have a meaningful, positive impact on both people and planet.

More than 2,500 online travel agents, tour operators, hotel groups and airlines have signed on as Authorised Ticket Resellers (ATRs) for Expo 2020 Dubai, organisers announced at Arabian Travel Market 2021 (ATM).

Spread across key markets, from 100-plus countries, the ATRs will offer value-added travel packages for international visitors to experience the best Expo 2020 has to offer based on a wide range of budgets and preferences, supporting Expo’s mission to welcome visitors from across the planet to join the making of a new world.

Earlier this year, Expo 2020 also welcomed more than 100,000 visitors for a preview experience of Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion, providing a glimpse of what is to come when Expo 2020 opens its doors to the world.

Both events allowed those present to experience first-hand the far-reaching programme of precautionary measures Expo 2020 has taken to ensure the safety of all visitors, participants and staff, working in close collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention and Dubai Health Authority, and in line with the latest information and advice from the World Health Organisation. These measures include the installation of thermal cameras and sanitisation stations across the site, mandatory face-mask wearing and the implementation of social-distancing regulations. Expo 2020 is also offering free COVID-19 vaccinations to all official participants and their staff.

Healthy Alternatives to All Your Favorite Foods with Nour El Ganzoury

May 6, 2021

It is easy to gain weight when you are not careful. The key to losing weight or maintain a healthy weight is not to stop eating but to make more conscious decisions and swap unhealthy and processed ingredients with more nutritious and filling options.

Nutritionist Nour El Ganzoury is bringing you healthy alternatives to all of your favorite foods. The list focuses on Ramadan foods, but it is also a general guide to healthy substitutes.

By: Aliaa ElSherbini

Food:

Start your iftar and meal with a light vegetable-based soup instead of creamy or Lesan Asfour soups. You can choose one vegetable to make your base out of or mix all your favorite vegetables in one soup.
You do not have to give up sambousak, but bake them in the oven instead, and opt for homemade ones rather than the processed and frozen packs.
Swap the rice in the stuffed vine leaves and Dolmas with quinoa, as it is lower in carbs and higher in protein.
Opt for wedges rather than French fries to minimize the grease while keeping the crunch.
If you want a fizzy drink, go for sparkling water instead of Cola, Sprite, or Fanta to spare your body the extra sugar.
For a snack or a light dinner, instead of having a bowl of cereal, make oatmeal.

Dessert:

Who said you can’t have dessert and still be healthy?

For a healthier dessert, go for sorbet instead of ice cream.
Bake your Katayef in the oven instead of deep-frying them. Then add natural honey and nuts over them, instead of sugary syrup or Nutella.
Instead of having Basboosa and Konafa, choose desserts made with natural nutrient-dense ingredients such as nuts, dates, honey, seeds, nut butter, oats, avocado, raw cocoa, and fruits.
To satisfy your sweet tooth while still replenishing your body with the necessary nutrients, opt for bananas or dates after your meals.
Make sugar-free Hibiscus or use honey instead of sugar in your juices and Ramadan drinks.
Don’t give up desserts, but having it in moderation still holds relevant.

Experience Egypt’s Diverse Culture at The Museum of Egyptian Civilization

May 1, 2021

By Farah ElAbd

Located in El-Fustat, Cairo, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is currently the largest and most comprehensive museum in Egypt, spread over 490,000m².

The museum partially opened in 2017 with a temporary exhibition, and fully opened to the public on April 4^th 2021; a day after the historic procession of the 22 royal mummies of Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt in the Pharaohs’ Golden Parade.

Opening Hours and Tickets

The Museum’s opening hours during Ramadan are from Saturday to Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, with the last ticket being cut at 2:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased online through the museum’s official website or at the museum in person.

The ticket price for Egyptians and Arabs is EGP 60, EGP 30 for Egyptian and Arab students, EGP 200 for visitors of other nationalities, and EGP 100 for students of other nationalities. No food or drinks are allowed inside the exhibits except a small water bottle, and smoking is prohibited throughout the museum.

The Concept

The concept of the museum is to showcase the different elements of Egyptian civilization all the way from prehistoric times to the modern-day and to allow visitors to experience the richness of Egyptian heritage more easily through a seamless museum display.

The layout of the museum currently consists of the Main Hall and the Royal Mummies’ Hall. The Main Hall features the main exhibition that houses the majority of the museum’s artefacts, currently on display, and showcases Egypt’s significant discoveries throughout history, from prehistoric times to the Pharaonic era, Greco-Roman period, Coptic era, Islamic era, all the way up to modern-day Egypt.

The main attraction inside of the museum is, of course, the Royal Mummies’ Hall, which opened to visitors on World Heritage Day (April 18^th), and is located right beneath the Main Hall. No photography is allowed inside the museum to safeguard the articles and artefacts from harm that may be caused by camera flashes.

The Theme and Feel of The Museum

The dimly-lit, black-coloured underground Mummies’ Hall mimics the feeling of being in a real tomb and has both stairs and ramp options for special needs access to reach the mummies.

Each mummy is in a glass case with its own temperature control to help preserve the body. There is a plaque next to each mummy that tells us a little about who they are. Some of the most notable mummies present in the museum are Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, and Ramses II.

One of the most fascinating items on display in the Main Hall is the ‘Nazlet Khater Skeleton’, a 35,000-year-old skeleton that was discovered by Belgian researchers in the 80’s in the Egyptian city of Sohag, and was held and studied in Belgium until it was retrieved in 2015 back to Egypt, to now be displayed in the museum.

What makes the museum especially enjoyable to visit is the presentation of the different objects and artefacts of Egypt’s fascinating culture and history. In the Folklore Heritage section, you can see traditional robes, shoes, and jewellery of Bedouin women such as ‘The Burgoa’ and the ‘Sinai Thawb’, and then see the ‘Key and Kiswa of Kaaba’ display nearby.

“Before this museum, you only had museums that would specialize in only one time period or in a certain part of Egyptian history such as Islamic, but what we’ve done here with all these pieces and artefacts we’ve put together is combine Egypt’s rich and diverse culture and civilization in one place,” says Shaimaa Bendary, Senior Museum Curator.

The museum plans on using the Temporary Exhibition Hall located beside the Main Hall for future temporary exhibitions; starting with an upcoming exhibition focused on textiles and fashion in Egypt.

9 Emerging Artists You Need to Know About

May 1, 2021

With so much new talent coming onto the scene, it might be hard to stay abreast of the latest artists capturing attention for their unique and thought-provoking visual work. Just to whet your appetite, here we go with work by artists we will definitely be following in the months to come.

Engie Ezeldin

Engie, also known as Jojja, is a 25 year old Egyptian multidisciplinary artist based in both
Cairo and New York City. She studied fine arts at Parsons the School Design in New York
and ever since graduating from the program, she has been moving between Cairo and New York, finding inspiration to feed into her body of work.

Her work relies on both illustration and animation. Her body of work is an extension to the thoughts, ideas and struggles that go through her head, the goal of the visuals she produces is to create a world where these struggles don’t exist, it’s the ideal world that the artist would love to live in.

Malak Kabbani

Malak Kabbani is an Egyptian/German photographer living and working in London. Her work includes portrait, fashion and documentary photography. Drawing influence from her environments, whether growing up in Cairo or living in London, she believes that especially within photography there must be an allowance for the natural to occur, rather than to be over planned. Away from the camera, she assists photographer David Bailey and has been doing so for the past 4 years.

Born in 1993 in Cairo, Kabbani moved to London to pursue her studies in fine arts at Central Saint Martins. With her background originally beginning in painting, she eventually pursued photography as a quicker visual language.

Mariam ElReweny

Mariam ElReweny is an Egyptian illustrator, based in Cairo. ElReweny graduated in 2017 from Faculty of Fine Arts at Helwan University, Egypt. She currently works as a freelance illustrator, working with both traditional and digital mediums to create both commercial and personal artwork.

Mohammed Jamal Bassiouni

Revered for his richly patterned body of work, Bassiouni invokes the full power of colors by pulling themes from nature and history and turning them into an intricate visual web. In addition to being intensely inspired by Ancient Egyptian art, Bassiouni’s work embodies the beauty of symmetry and the wondrous patterns of the universe. He works with a variety of mediums and challenges the viewer to take in all the details.

Born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1993, Bassiouni holds a BFA (2016) with highest Honors from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Alexandria. In 2019, he completed his MFA in Painting and Drawing from the same university, where his thesis focused on Ancient Egyptian beliefs depicted in their art. In addition to his involvement in the rich art scene of his home city Alexandria, Bassiouni has participated in several group exhibitions in Cairo including The Circle in 2020, and Art Fair Dubai in the UAE.

Nour Abu Saada

Nour Abu Saada is an Alexandrian artist, born in 1997. She graduated in 2020 with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Alexandria. Her most recent project titled, “The Movement” is inspired by the expressiveness of physical movement, which can occur through major or minimal actions.

Apart from verbal expressions of emotions, Abu Saada often finds that the display of emotion through dynamic movement is overlooked. Her body of work portrays emotions emitted from each movement through the art of contemporary dance, as it allows the dancers the freedom to move with very little restriction and so many emotions, which perfectly encapsulates the concept portrayed by Nour.

Sahar Hamdy

Sahar Hamdy is a young Egyptian artist born in 1997. She graduated in 2020 from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Oil painting department, Helwan University. Her most recent work is her graduation project which revolves around the idea of helplessness.

Her topic is inspired by personal experience that she witnessed where demanding pressures of life and society surrounding her led to this feeling of helplessness. This idea inspired the artist as she rearticulated this sense of helplessness in a visual format.
