THE WEEK IN REVIEW

House approves FY 2026/27 budget + decades-old food subsidy system to be replaced

☀️ Good morning, friends, and happy weekend. We’re leaning all the way into summer today — Cairo’s best new cool treats to get you through the heat, a sushi truck doing grab-and-go onigiri and matcha, and a new Egyptian film worth catching in the cinema.

We also have a novel that’s been dividing readers since it landed two months ago: a satirical thriller about the tradwife subculture that’s already on the NYT bestseller list and heading for a film adaptation starring Anne Hathaway. And for the history lovers, a Fall of Civilizations episode on the Pharaohs. Something for everyone.

But first, your weekly recap…

🗞️ LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

ECONOMY-

The House of Representatives gave its final nod to the FY 2026/27 budget and development plan, sending recommendations to the government for implementation after two weeks of plenary debate. MPs are requesting more realistic assumptions based on actual execution rates, alongside strict adherence to constitutional spending minimums.

REMEMBER- The draft budget was referred to the House in April, with the government targeting EGP 4 tn in revenues, EGP 5.1 tn in spending, EGP 3.5 tn in tax receipts, a 5% primary surplus, and a 4.9% overall deficit.

AND- The gov’t is preparing to replace Egypt’s decades-old in-kind food subsidy system with cash support beginning next fiscal year. The shift would end access to subsidized sugar and cooking oil, instead giving households funds to purchase these goods at market price.

DEBT WATCH-

The gov’t will receive EUR 1.5 bn from the European Union this month to support its economic reform agenda. The disbursement brings the total disbursed macro-financial assistance to EUR 3.5 bn out of the EUR 5 bn pledged. The partnership also includes EUR 1.8 bn in investment agreements and EUR 600 mn in grants.

IPO WATCH-

MNT-Halan is weighing an IPO of its Egyptian business on the EGX as early as this year. The fintech unicorn has tapped Citigroup and EFG Hermes to manage the potential transaction, pitching investors an estimated valuation of up to USD 1 bn for its domestic operations.

ENERGY-

Chinese renewables equipment manufacturer Sany Group signed an MoU to build Egypt’s first wind turbine factory and a wind farm in the Gulf of Suez. The plant will have an annual production capacity of 2 GW — set to be built within two years of the final agreement — while the wind farm is expected to be connected to the national grid within 23 months.

LOGISTICS-

Egyptian National Railways signed four contracts worth EUR 690 mn (c. EGP 39.5 bn) with an Alstom-led consortium to modernize two of our most critical freight and logistics rail corridors. The consortium will tackle the 6th of October-Alexandria corridor and the Belbes-10th of Ramadan line.

BANKING-

Egyptian banks adopted the ISO 20022 international standard for SWIFT financial messaging in interbank transfers. The move follows upgrades to Egypt’s Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system to bring it into compliance with the international standard. This allows richer, more structured data to travel with each payment.

REGULATION WATCH-

Newly-proposed amendments to the Companies Law could give EGX-listed companies new flexibility over their own shares. Boards would lose a favorite tool for stonewalling shareholders, and in-kind asset valuations would move out of the Gafi’s hands to licensed appraisers registered with the FRA if the amendments are passed.

TAX-

The government is moving to narrow the scope of its planned 14% VAT on leased administrative space, potentially keeping factories and buildings that provide direct services to citizens outside the tax net. The change could be written into the executive regulations to apply only to non-operational or non-service administrative premises.

AUTOMOTIVE-

Rolls-Royce entered the Egyptian market with a temporary showroom and service facility in New Cairo, ahead of a permanent showroom and design atelier due later this year. Beyond just a sales point, the company is positioning Cairo as a base to serve underdeveloped luxury markets across North Africa.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

This week’s headlines were once again dominated by developments in the US-Iran talks, alongside fresh SpaceX updates, a global tech sell-off, and the UK’s prime minister stepping down. Here’s the rundown.

Washington and Tehran met in Switzerland on Sunday for high-level talks, leaving with what mediators called “encouraging progress” and a 60-day roadmap for a final agreement. The parties agreed to establish a communication line for safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — helping traffic through the waterway slowly resume — and a “de-confliction cell” with Lebanon to maintain the halt in military operations. US Preisdent Donald Trump complicated matters by threatening to restart strikes and warning that Israeli action against Hezbollah risks undermining the broader peace process.

Following the talks, US Vice President JD Vance said Iran agreed to invite International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back to their country. Washington also temporarily authorized Tehran to sell oil in USD for two months — a move Vance noted coincides with Iran’s agreement to grant inspectors access to its nuclear sites. The Iranian Foreign Ministry denied the claim, however. On Wednesday, the US Senate backed legislation to end the conflict, signalling growing Republican reluctance to fund the war just as the Trump administration prepares to ask Congress for tens of bns of USD to do exactly that. The two sides remain at odds over financial incentives for Iran, Hormuz navigation management, and Israel’s war on Lebanon. With supply disruption fears easing, oil prices retreated to pre-war levels.

MEANWHILE- SpaceX was reported to have been awarded the lowest possible environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating — a triple-C — by MSCI just one day before the company’s record USD 75 bn IPO earlier this month. SpaceX stock fell nearly 5% in premarket trading following the news. A global tech sell-off triggered by Fed rate-hike expectations saw the company lose USD 400 bn in market value. SpaceX locked in a USD 6.3 bn computing power agreement alongside Rocketmaker with open-source AI startup Reflection, which will pay Elon Musk’s company a monthly USD 150 mn to access its Colossus 2 data center.

IN OTHER NEWS- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation amid a collapse in popular support and mounting pressure from his own party, setting the stage for Labour frontrunner Andy Burnham — already confirmed as a candidate — to become the country’s seventh leader in ten years.

ALSO- Two earthquakes in Venezuela — the country’s most powerful in more than a century — have killed at least 164 people. Back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck roughly 100 miles west of Caracas. At least 700 people were injured, while dozens of buildings collapsed in La Guaira state. The USGS warns the death toll could exceed 10k as rescuers continue search efforts.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

Grab your water bottle and seek AC, it’s going to be a warm weekend. Temperatures in Cairo are set to peak at a high of 35°C today, with a low of 24°C. Spending the weekend up north?

Cool treats to indulge in this summer

🍧 Hot summers call for cool remedies — and what better way to beat the heat than with an ice-cold smoothie or a well-deserved sweet treat (or two)? Summer rolls around every year, and so do Cairo’s sweet shops with seasonal creations designed to carry us through the hottest months. Here are a few of the latest cool treats we’re excited to try this summer.

Matcha, smoothies, and other sweet sips

#1- Koffee Kulture: The brand behind the famous coffee cans is branching into smoothies this summer with their Smoothie Kulture lineup.

ALSO- You can enjoy their cooling drinks in Sahel, with new spots now open in a variety of locations across the North Coast.

#4- Karak Boy: Can’t get enough of karak?

Their new summer lineup also includes salted caramel date frappe, tiramisu frappe, and iced cardamom cream.

WHERE TO GET IT- You can find Karak Boy’s new drinks at their branches across Cairo.

#5- Ami’s X Pào: Ami’s and Pào understand true sugar cravings — sometimes you want them satisfied with a cold drink, sometimes with a rich cookie, and sometimes with both at the same time. The bakery and boba spot joined forces to keep those cravings covered with the cookie crush: Pao’s milk tea boba crowned with one of Ami’s loaded chocolate chip cookies.

WHERE TO GET IT- The cookie crush is available at their branches in D5, The Drive 2, Trivium Mall in Sheikh Zayed, and Swell Lake in 6th of October City.

#6- Matter Brews x Waterkind: Another matcha creation worth noting, matcha brew house Matter Brews and hydration brand Waterkind teamed up to launch matcha electrolyte sachets. The collaboration sounds tailor-made for gym junkies and matcha enthusiasts alike: hydration, electrolytes, and a boost of matcha-fueled energy all in one.

Matter Brews didn’t stop there — the matcha brand is going all in on summer with a new iced mango matcha, blending sweet, tropical flavors with the green caffeine fix matcha lovers know and love.

WHERE TO GET IT- The limited-time sachets and mango matcha are both available at Matter Brews’ locations in U Venues and Waterway 1. Keep an eye out for Matter’s mango matcha, coming soon to Sahel.

Ice cream and cool-down treats

An ordinary man’s journey through extraordinary times

🎥 In his latest feature, The Stories (Al Qesas), filmmaker Abu Bakr Shawky ditches grand historical epics and larger-than-life heroes. Instead, he turns his lens toward the everyday citizen, the people who don’t make history, but certainly have to live through the fallout of it. Spanning several decades, the film weaves the macro into the micro. It captures entire eras of modern Egyptian history through the prism of daily routines, intimate dreams, and relationships.

The plot: Ahmed (Amir El Masry) is a young pianist dreaming of a life far beyond his current reality. He lives with his father, Ragheb (Ahmed Kamal), his mother, Fayrouz (Nelly Karim), his twin brother, Hassan (Ahmed El Azaar), and their third brother, Sharaf (Khaled Mokhtar). Ahmed’s world expands through a long-running correspondence with Elizabeth (Valerie Pachner), a young Austrian woman who becomes his anchor. As the years roll by and political tides shift, Ahmed’s path crosses with various characters who shape a sweeping narrative about love, ambition, family, and the relentless passage of time.

What we loved: The film’s true strength lies in its restrained, self-assured writing. Major historical turning points slip quietly into the narrative. Wars and socioeconomic shifts aren’t treated as textbook chapters to be explained, but rather as ripples that alter the characters’ choices, life paths, and relationships.

Shawky succeeds in crafting characters who feel like real flesh and blood rather than convenient plot devices. Because of this, their choices and evolutions feel earned and deeply moving, grounded in the textures of real life rather than melodrama. In a brilliant narrative stroke, the filmmakers use the family’s die-hard devotion to the Zamalek football club as a metaphor for national and personal heartbreak — culminating in a long-awaited, cathartic victory.

Performance-wise, El Masry delivers one of his most mature turns to date. Pachner brings an emotional depth to the story, while Kamal and Karim offer rock-solid portrayals of quintessential Egyptian parents. Karim, in particular, delivers a beautiful performance that serves as a nostalgic reminder of her finest work, Zaat .

The verdict: Shawky delivers a profoundly human film — aptly continuing the empathetic streak of his acclaimed debut, Yomeddine — about the dreams, disappointments, and bonds that warp and weather over time. It’s a story about ordinary people living through extraordinary times and a poignant reminder of how history leaves its mark on us, even when we are standing on the sidelines.

WHERE TO WATCH- Catch The Stories at VOX Cinemas (City Centre Almaza, Mall of Egypt, and Alexandria), Scene Cinemas in Cairo Festival City and District 5, Premiere Cinemas in Cima Arkan and Point 90, and Zawya Cinema. Watch the trailer on YouTube (Watch, runtime: 2:00).

Be careful what you wish (and advocate) for

📚 The horrors of the “tradwide” life: American author Caro Claire Burke turns the tradwife subculture into a satirical thriller in her debut novel, Yesteryear. The book offers a sharp reading of social media, belief systems, and the manufactured image of the modern woman — wrapped in enough mystery to make it one of the most debated works since its release less than two months ago. It has since landed on the New York Times bestseller list, and a film adaptation starring Anne Hathaway is currently in production.

The plot: Natalie Mills is a mega-influencer with mns of followers. Her brand built on the image of the perfect Christian mother living a traditional rural life on her family’s farm, complete with an ambitious political family for a husband and five children. The reader quickly realizes the idyll is a performance: behind the scenes, there are nannies, photographers, producers, and modern equipment manufacturing moments that look spontaneous.

Natalie’s life unravels when she wakes to find herself in 1855 — same house, same family, no electricity, no staff, no audience. She spirals into shock, unsure whether this is an elaborate prank, a reality TV setup, or something far worse. The novel runs on two timelines: Natalie’s life before the incident, and her attempt to survive it after.

What we liked (and didn’t): The narrative is airtight. Burke moves deftly between timelines to expose the falseness of Natalie’s life rather than settling for a straightforward time-travel story — and Natalie herself is the engine of it all. She is deliberately ambitious and abrasive, embodying the impulses most of us would rather not admit to: anger, resentment, a sense of entitlement that flows from a life spent inside a mold she never chose.

That makes her one of the more divisive fictional protagonists in recent memory. Burke uses her to expose the extent to which patriarchal structures produce exactly these kinds of women — but the lack of fuller characterization makes for a bruising read, and sympathy for Natalie is hard to sustain. Whether that’s a flaw or a feature has split readers sharply.

The verdict: This is a maximally provocative novel, and that’s precisely the point. In her debut, Burke has managed to generate genuine conversation among readers globally — a gripping premise, propulsive plotting, and characters complex enough to fuel hours of book club debate. If you can sit with a painfully unlikeable protagonist, don’t miss it.

WHERE TO GET IT- You can get a physical copy from Diwan and find the e-book on Amazon.

Musubin’ brings the grab-and-go onigiri experience to Cairenes

🍴 From fine-dining experiences to sushi burritos and push-pop sushi, the Japanese staple has embraced a more casual, fast-food-inspired identity in recent years. NYC-born Musubin’ is one sushi truck that leans into that shift with grab-and-go onigiri and fresh matcha brews, making for a distinctly satisfying taste of Japanese cuisine.

A short-and-sweet soft-opening menu: Tucked into one corner of New Cairo’s sprawling The Driive, Musubin’ doesn’t take up too much space with just three tables flanking its counter. If you’re lucky, you’ll snag a seat; if not, their offerings are designed more for grab-and-go convenience than a lengthy sit-down meal. Still, we managed to grab a table and, after scanning the sushi-inspired onigiri lineup and spotting a teaser for a full menu reveal soon, settled on the truffle salmon, spicy kani, smoked salmon, and spicy shrimp tempura onigiris. To round off the Japanese affair, we paired them with the mango golden hour and the lavender matcha.

What we liked: Our orders were served in no time — and devoured just as quickly. The portable rice balls delivered a vibrant flavor profile that had our taste buds engaged from start to finish. Every ingredient came through clearly and tasted fresh. The spicy shrimp tempura onigiri was a standout, from the fried shrimp and caviar to the cream cheese and spicy mayo. The smoked salmon offered a perfectly smoky bite, and the spicy kani was similarly flavor-packed. The truffle salmon also stood out with its generous truffle sauce, though the flavor may have threatened to overpower the rest of the onigiri.

The matchas held their own, too. The mango golden hour matcha made for a refreshing sip. The green tea was an ideal creamy consistency with subtle, bittersweet matcha notes. While we may be partial to the mango-matcha combination, some may find the mango slightly overpowering. The lavender matcha delivered a cleaner, grassier matcha profile, but didn’t stand out too much as an overall blend. That said, the matchas were a great sweet addition to our gratifying onigiri bites, and we’d come back to give the other matcha blends a go.

The verdict: Musubin’ is a must-try for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts — if not for the matcha, then certainly for the onigiri. The pairing makes for more of a snack or in-between meal than a full-on lunch or dinner — but there’s something refreshing about having refined, flavorful bites in a grab-and-go format. With a larger menu on the horizon, the onigiri truck is definitely one we’ll be keeping a close eye on — and one we’d gladly revisit if we’re ever craving sushi-inspired flavors without committing to the price tag and formality of a traditional sushi outing.

WHERE TO FIND IT- You can find Musubin’ at The Drive 2 in New Cairo.

Pyramids, power struggles, and the end of an empire

👂 History has a funny way of making everything we build feel both permanent and temporary. Fall of Civilizations is a podcast built around exactly that idea — dedicated to unpacking how some of history’s greatest societies rose, thrived, and eventually disappeared. Created and hosted by novelist Paul Cooper, it trades quick history lessons for cinematic storytelling, bringing forgotten worlds back to life through politics, culture, religion, and the everyday lives of the people who lived in them.

What to expect: Each of the podcast’s 20 episodes runs three to five hours — and earns every minute. Unlike podcasts that race through dates and names, Fall of Civilizations takes its time. Episodes feel less like lectures and more like front-row seats to history’s biggest turning points, with Cooper keeping his focus firmly on the human side of civilization-ending events.

The Fall of the Pharaohs: Episode 18 turns to Ancient Egypt — tracing the civilization from its earliest Nile settlements to the height of the Pharaohs, then through its gradual decline and absorption into foreign powers. Cooper moves through Egypt’s monumental achievements while also mapping the political instability, invasions, environmental pressures, and leadership failures that weakened one of history’s longest-lasting civilizations.

What we liked: The episode’s greatest strength is how it transforms Ancient Egypt from a collection of museum artifacts into a living, breathing society. The pyramids, the Pharaohs, the hieroglyphs — none of it is treated as a distant relic. It’s all pieces of a bigger story about ambition, power, belief, and survival. Covering thousands of years without making it feel like homework is no small feat, and Cooper pulls it off.

What we didn’t like: The length is the only real barrier. At several hours per episode, this is not the podcast you squeeze into a quick commute. The depth is part of the charm — but the runtime will test the patience of casual listeners.

The verdict: Fall of Civilizations is history for people who want more than a Wikipedia summary. “Fall of the Pharaohs” proves that even the greatest empires are vulnerable to time, change, and their own internal contradictions.
