If you've been watching any television at all this Ramadan, you have probably already seen this video on Tarek Nour's Kahera Wel Nas channel.
We've spoken about the band Digla before, and have featured some of their songs...We love their ability to mix east and west so easily together; the tabla, the video, it all comes together so perfectly.
Check out the "real version" of the video clip that a fan sent us...from the looks of it this will become a hit quickly.
You can pick up their cd from any Diwan store!

We have quite unfortunate news Cairo one of our favorite Art Galleries Hanfaninha in Zamalek, has closed its doors.
Exact reasons as to why the studio will be shutting down, are not yet clear...but we're sure it has something to do with the artsy world
in Egypt lacking the appreciation and clientele that is needed to keep the place going.
Either way some of us at S&H have bought some great pieces from there!

Which of Cairo's eligible bachelors was just at the 62nd Emmy Awards?
Think one of the managing partners of one of Cairo's hot spots, also known for putting together a Bootylicious concert by the Red Sea...
Come on Cairo, if you can't get this one...we don't know what to say!

The Fairmont Nile City has been on a roll this Ramadan with their charitable causes...looks like they're one of the few places that have grasped the essence of this month..
This Wednesday the 1st of September, Cairo 360 and the Fairmont have teamed up to entertain all of Bab el Nil's guests for a good cause...The Percussion show, Eftekasat, and Masar Egbari, are just a few of the people who will be popping by.
Again all proceeds from the night go to Operation Smile.
Are you guys feeling charitable?

Coke has done it again, part 3 of their happiness campaign is out. The soft drink giants headed to a shopping mall this time, just the looks of suprise and happiness on all the faces of the shoppers alone, really made us smile.
We have to say we haven't seen a creative campaign like this in a long time, not only that but an ad that actually reaches all social classes.

We've already seen shows covering the biographies of legendary Egyptian entertainers including Abdel Halim Hafez, Soad Hosni, and Om Kalthoum...now it's Shadia's turn!
Considered one of Egypt's sweethearts of the movie industry, the retired actress will finally have a show about her, starring none other than Donia Samir Ghanem.
Donia's been taking Egypt's movies by storm, proving herself independent from her celebrity dad.
She'll be playing the younger Shadia and her mother will play the part of Shadia's older years.
The show is scheduled to air next Ramadan.
