Mall of Egypt

August 23, 2010

We've all been to Mall of Dubai or at least heard of it...one of the biggest Malls in the region...

Well get ready for the Mall of Egypt...The Futtaim group has begun taking bids for their 4.4. Billion Egyptian pounds project. It will be one of the biggest shopping centers in North Africa, with a ski facility, over 350 stores, a 17 screen cinema complex, Magic Planet, outdoor plaza, and dining area.

Although they haven't specified where in Egypt just yet, they hinted to the new residential areas that are popping up...so we guess Katameya or 6th of october!

Looks like city stars has competition now!

Inspired by Egypt

August 23, 2010

 

Would you buy a cell phone that's worth 1 million dollars?

We think not, most people are way too attached to their smart phones to even considering changing, and with a price tag like that we highly doubt they'll sell many!

The Luxor hotel in Vegas, has teamed up with luxury phone makers Gresso, to bring the world a one of a kind phone made out of 18 carat gold with black diamond buttons. The panel is made out of 200-year old African blackwood...we don't know about you guys but this sounds pretty ridiculous to us!

We're all for over the top, but what happens when you lose the phone?

Thieves!

August 22, 2010

As we're sure most of read or heard on the news, a famous Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen from a museum here in Egypt!

The piece was stolen this morning from the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum, which holds a number of pieces by renowned artists, by a couple that were caught trying to board a flight to Italy today. Apparently they cut the painting out of the frame and ran, they caught the man and woman right as they were boarding!

The man was arrested (why not the woman?) and the painting was returned to the museum.

The painting, "Poppy Flowers", is estimated to be worth around $50-55 million!

Funny enough, this isn't the first time that this painting has been stolen! It was stolen before in 1978 and was found later in Kuwait and returned to the museum.

The Rumors Are True

August 22, 2010

At one point or another we have all discussed the matter, will downtown Cairo be renovated? Is it true private investors are planning on buying all the buildings and restoring them to what they once were?

Well looks like it's true and we can't be more ecstatic...we all have heard that the Sawiris's are involved, but it turns out there are Saudi investors as well...Check out the piece below on the matter... 

Check out Groppi and Arabesque making a cameo as well
