This weekend most of Cairo's who's who were in sahel...which can only mean one thing, something scandalous went down!
It turns out that two social butterflies were caught skinny dipping in the water late at night...the two were caught but sent off with just a warning (which probably means whoever caught them went home with a few extra bucks in his pocket!).
We've all gone skinny dipping guys but at least do it in the comfort of your own home where you can't get caught in public!

Summer is back and you all know what that means...weekly roundups to keep you all in the loop! Sun, beach, and long nights, only means things will get juicier as time goes by...
Tamarai Opening - As we all know this weekend was the opening of Tamarai NC 151 at Bianchi beach...we're kind of at a loss for words with regards to its weekend outcome as it didn't match up to our expectations! Although the beachy setup may have impressed the majority of the people, didn't seem there was much thought put into it or maybe they were tight on time...Even though the majority of the crowd wasn't recognizable, probably explains the fight that broke out on Friday night, we did love the music on both the opening night and Friday...we just wonder since when has it been normal to pay over 500 l.e. for mixers alone (complaint from an S&H reader)
***Before everyone bashes S&H for their tough review, take it as constructive criticism, the place has plenty of potential, it just needs to be put to good use!
Andrea - Going into its 2nd weekend, after its soft opening last weekend, one of the North Coast's favorite spots is back on the map! The old school hangout frequented by much of the older crowd, has completely transformed it's look, to a more loungey atmosphere. We loved the new setup and design, and although it wasn't packed over the weekend, all of the older who's who of Cairo were spotted enjoying the long summery nights here!
Mercedes Star Lounge - Soon to be the next sahel party place, the Mercedes Star lounge this weekend in front of Hacienda Bay, was the place to watch and enjoy the world cup matches.
The huge mega screen along with the drinks and shisha (did we mention they were complimentary) was the best solution to winding down after the beach, and pre-gamming before a long night out...
What is everyone's thoughts on sahel this year? Or is it too early to judge?

This weekend, the fabulous Farida El Fadl and Hatem El Ezzawy got engaged!
From the entire S&H team, we say congrats and wish you both the best of luck!

We love it when our Egyptians get recognition for things that actually deserves the attention...
Egyptian Actor Amr Waked was name the first UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador for the Middle East and North African region, by the Joint United Nations program on HIV/AIDS...
“This is the first time for UNAIDS to have a Goodwill Ambassador and we are very optimistic [Waked] was chosen based on the work and effort he contributed to the cause during the past years,” said Hind Khattib, director of UNAIDS Regional Support Team for the Middle East and North Africa.
We hope Waked actually raises awareness for the problem that the state actually refuses to recognize, either way even if the AIDS count in Egypt isn't too high, we should all be educated about the disease!
