Egypt releases trilingual children's book in solidarity with Gaza - Society
Published by the National Center for Translation under the ministry's Translation from Arabic initiative, the book is described as a message of love and resilience from Egypt's children to their peers in Palestine.
Written by Amani Suleiman Dawoud and illustrated by Rana Hatamleh, the story follows three friends—Youssef, Mostafa, and Ibrahim—growing up under bombardment in Gaza. Despite the violence surrounding them, they navigate life with the weapon of resilience, holding fast to hope for a better future.
The story was translated into English by Lamiaa Tawfik and into French by Bouchayer Allam.
According to the ministry, the initiative seeks to amplify the voices of Gaza's children, promote cross-cultural empathy, and affirm the role of literature in fostering shared human values across linguistic and national borders.

This Loft Hotel Puts You at the Heart of Cairo's Indie Arts Scene
This Loft Hotel Puts You at the Heart of Cairo's Indie Arts Scene With Zawya Cinema downstairs, rooftops in every direction, and Talaat Harb down the block, Hazel keeps you in the middle of Cairo's constant motion. Hazel Spaces sits above Cairo's Emad El-Deen Street, a short walk from the iconic Talaat Harb Square and a few blocks from the Egyptian Museum. The building—an old stone structure with pressed iron balconies and French windows—blends into the layered streetscape of Downtown Cairo. The hotel occupies the upper floors, its units split across two levels, with beds on a mezzanine and seating areas below. Each room has its own small balcony facing the street, where the sounds of the city drift in from below but never quite overwhelm. What makes Hazel Spaces unusual is less about the interiors—pared down, calm, straightforward—than where it puts you. From here, nearly everything in central Cairo fans out within walking distance. South along Emad El-Deen Street, one reaches the Opera Garage complex, where art galleries, coffee bars, and workshops have taken over the skeleton of a mid-century parking structure. West, along Sherif Street, lies Café Riche, the city's oldest surviving café, still dimly lit and holding onto its own version of Cairo's past. Around the corner, antique dealers and secondhand bookstores line the ground floors of old department stores, most of them unchanged in decades. The hotel sits directly above Zawya Cinema, one of Egypt's few independent art-house venues. Guests descending the narrow stairwell into the lobby are met not by concierge desks, but by black-and-white posters of films that have shown below—some international, some local, many hard to find elsewhere. Further up, Hazel's rooftop terrace opens toward the Greek consulate, a view framed by early 20th-century buildings in soft pastels and ochre, their facades weathered but intact. Hazel doesn't function like a full-service hotel. There's no restaurant, no breakfast bar, and no reception in the usual sense. What it does provide is a kind of minimal base camp—spare and quiet—for exploring one of Cairo's most lived-in districts. Nearby food stalls serve fried liver sandwiches and sugar-dusted feteer until the early morning. Five minutes away on foot, Mohamed Bassiouny Street leads toward Falaki Theatre and Townhouse Gallery, two mainstays of the independent arts scene. Walk north instead, and you hit Ramses Street, Cairo's loudest transit artery, where minibus drivers lean out the window and shout their routes over traffic. Hazel Spaces keeps a low profile, but its location places it at the centre of things: art spaces, bookstores, street food, film, music, and the long, winding legacy of Khedival Cairo. It's a quiet room in the middle of something much louder—and for many, that's the appeal.

This French Bakery in Heliopolis Doubles as a Pastry Museum
At Evoque Bakery in Heliopolis, modernist architecture meets handmade French pastries. Try the Matilda—a croissant filled with cake—perfect for the nostalgic purist or the curious sweet tooth. Jul 23, 2025 In the heart of Heliopolis, Evoque Bakery isn't your average grab-and-go pastry shop. It's a sleek, midcentury modern space where architecture and indulgence meet. The interior feels more like a design museum than a bakery, with moody lighting, clean lines, and display cases that treat each pastry like a one-off. While the aesthetic draws attention, the pastries do the real work. The Matilda, a croissant filled with cake, is a standout—flaky, sweet, and made for those who crave something a little different. It's a dessert that manages to feel both classic and unexpected, balancing a nostalgic French feel with a bold new flavour combination. Evoque makes proper French pastries with careful attention to texture and technique, from buttery laminated doughs to soft, sugar-dusted finishes. Their croissants, tarts, and sweets show clear roots in French patisserie tradition but come with small twists that keep things playful.
