Which pop star was seen frolicking around the Atlantis in Dubai recently?
Only JT of course!
Last week, Justin Timberlake was at the launch of the new Givenchy fragrance, Play, at the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai.
He was reported saying that he loved the city. He said, "The UAE residents really are one of the kindest people that I've met. You have the best food, I love Middle Eastern Food"
True, the Emiraties are kind people, but just come to Egypt JT and we'll show you a good time! ....plus our food kicks ass!
If only someone here could bring JT, we're sure he'd love Cairo! So which one of you planners is up for the task?

This is just heartbreaking, it is already bad enough that the BP oil spill has been dragging on for over two months now, but we have just gotten news that the same type of disaster has happened here in Egypt!
Massive oil spills appeared yesterday, covering the a 20 km radius from Gouna all the way down to Sahl Hashish, although the source of the spill has not been determined, the environmental authorities have gotten several reports from resorts all over the coast saying that the oil has begun to wash up on their shores.
We know this will be a derimental blow to our tourism, not like we need it! Also, our hearts go out to all the marine life that will be affected by this.
It's 2010 already we should have our acts together, disasters like this shouldn't be happening anymore!

Although Articulate Baboon is new to the Cairo art scene, they sure are starting off with a bang. For those of you who do not know the gallery, it's located at Designopolis and is one of the few places that represent alternative and contemporary art, in Egypt if not the whole region...
Today begins the Juan Carlos Noria exhibition, titled "Cairo!" We have to say the artwork looks fab, definitely something we'd hang on our walls...
"Drawing on the many parallelisms between Cairo and his native Caracas, Barcelona-based graffiti artist Juan Carlos Noria's "Cairo" exhibition displays the starting signs of a budding love affair with our city and her most overlooked scenes. In capturing the daily contrast between Cairo's brightest highs and darkest lows, Noria lends his full range of techniques to a collection combining busy comic book-style city motifs and beautifully still realism, devoting entire canvases to moments many of us might never stop to observe."
We definitely recommend you guys head on out there and check it out!

When do you know as a designer you've made it? Forget dressing celebrities...it's when the Royal families start asking for you...
Her Royal Highness, Victoria the crown Princess of Sweden, wore an Elie Saab Haute Coutoure dress especially made for her special day.
Mr. Saab created a long-sleeved, asymmetric nude colored gown, embroidered with pearls for the blushing bride...
We also heard another special royal guest was attending the wedding, non-other than Queen Rania of Jordan...
