THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Monetary Policy Committee leaves interest rates unchanged

Good morning, friends, and congratulations on making it to the weekend. With the Eid vacation set to kick off next Tuesday, we’re certain many of you have decided to bridge the gap. In today’s issue, we’re taking a look at all the ways you can spend Eid in C-town if you’re not headed to the coast — from our favorite oriental grills to aflam el Eid we’re looking forward to.

Also today: We catch Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s The Drama in theaters, try an Italian restaurant that had us saying “meravigliosa,” blow off some steam on the good ol’ PS with Fallout, and tune into a hefty podcast chronicling the events of WWI — that and more.

But first, your weekly recap…

🗞️ LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

ECONOMY-

The Monetary Policy Committee decided to leave interest rates unchanged for the second time in a row at its meeting yesterday, according to a statement from the Central Bank of Egypt. The bank kept the overnight deposit rate at 19.0% and the overnight lending rate at 20.0%, in line with the projections of the majority of analysts and economic experts polled by EnterpriseAM. “This decision reflects the Committee’s assessment of prevailing and forecasted inflation dynamics amid an unfavorable external environment,” the statement said.

PRIVATIZATION-

Four state-owned companies have secured provisional EGX listings across pharma, fertilizers, and tourism. The companies are: Chemical Industries Development, Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels, Misr Travel, and El Nasr Fertilizers and Chemical Industries.

EARNINGS-

Financing platform Valu saw its net income surge 78% y-o-y in 1Q 2026 to EGP 221 mn. The bottom-line growth was supported by a 40% y-o-y rise in gross revenues to EGP 1.52 bn. Valu entered Jordan in 1Q via soft launching one operational branch and onboarding c.15 merchants.

M&A WATCH-

Raya Holding is edging toward closing the loop on the six-year-long Ostool divestment saga. The EGX-listed conglomerate’s board approved to offload its 90% stake in Ostool Transport and Logistics to a subsidiary of Qalaa Holdings’ EGX-listed industrial mining outfit Ascom Mining Group for EGP 641 mn.

AND- Regional giant Magrabi Retail will acquire 51% of homegrown optical group Baraka Optics. The transaction will bring together two of the country’s biggest eyewear family businesses under a single corporate umbrella, with roughly 50 stores nationwide.

STARTUP WATCH-

London-based startup Dealfuze is launching an MEA-focused venture discovery platform targeting capital allocation gaps. The algorithmic matching platform pairs MEA founders with international and GCC investors based on sector, stage, geography, and traction metrics.

INVESTMENT WATCH-

International lenders are competing to fund the USD 3 bn alumina refinery Egypt Aluminum (EgyptAlum) is building with Aluminium Bahrain — the largest alumina refining and production facility ever built in Egypt. EgyptAlum will fund half of the estimated cost of the project — around USD 1.5 bn

NBFI-

The Central Bank of Egypt quietly tightened oversight on how commercial banks interact with non-banking financial institutions. Under the new rules, commercial banks are prohibited from granting credit facilities to non-bank lenders unless those entities are fully coded with the CBE and actively reporting customer data to both the central bank’s information network and the Egyptian Credit Bureau.

DEBT WATCH-

The International Finance Corporation signed a USD 40 mn senior loan agreement with Sawiris-backed beet sugar producer Nile Sugar Company to fund the cultivation of some 13.6k feddans of sugar beet in Minya alongside project infrastructure, machinery, and working capital.

AND- The government raised the ceiling on its medium-term international bond program to USD 40 bn — up from USD 30 bn — on the back of recent sovereign credit rating upgrades.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

It’s been another unsurprisingly packed week, with mixed headlines taking center stage — here’s the rundown. The US-Iran stalemate continues with US President Donald Trump warning Iran on Sunday that “the clock is ticking,” writing on Truth Social that Tehran “better get moving, fast, or there won’t be anything left of them.”

On Tuesday, Trump decided to “put off” a scheduled strike against Iran following requests from the leaders of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. He threatened a “full, large scale assault” if a resolution is not reached. A day later, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned it could take the war “beyond the region” if the US and Israel resume attacks against the Islamic Republic.

Beijing made headlines as the outcome of the US-China summit proved anticlimactic after failing to secure any commitments. A week after Trump’s visit, Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as Beijing attempts to establish itself as a peace mediator in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and as a stabilizing global force. Xi warned Putin that the world is at risk of regressing to “the law of the jungle.”

MEANWHILE- The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the current Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a public health emergency of international concern. The WHO stated that the outbreak poses a high risk of spread to countries sharing land borders with Congo. The rising death toll — currently at 131 according to the DRC’s health minister — prompted the US to invoke a public health law on Monday restricting entry from the affected region.

AND- A shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Tuesday killed three people in what appeared to be a hate crime. Two teenagers were later found dead from self-inflicted gun wounds in a car near the mosque, with one of the weapons seemingly having hate speech scrawled on it.

In AI news, Elon Musk lost his lawsuit against OpenAI after a US jury unanimously ruled that the startup was not liable to Musk for allegedly abandoning its humanitarian goal. And, Google and Blackstone plan to form an AI cloud company with USD 5 bn in capital, scheduled to bring 500 MW of capacity online by next year. Google is also further integrating AI into its search function, introducing AI agent Gemini Spark designed to function independently and act on a user’s behalf.

IN THE BUSINESS PRESS- Swatch temporarily closed stores worldwide after huge crowds gathered for the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop collection launch on Sunday. The closures were prompted by safety concerns due to chaotic crowds and queues amid extremely high demand for the new AP collaboration launch.

ALSO- We’re inching closer to what will be the largest IPO ever after SpaceX filed publicly on Wednesday. Now the world is sitting tight in anticipation of the rocket maker’s imminent Nasdaq debut, which could see Elon Musk become the world’s first t’naire.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

For the first time in a few weeks, we’re in for a moderately warm weekend. Temperatures in Cairo today and tomorrow are set to peak at 31°C, with lows of 19°C, according to our favorite weather app.

THE ENTERPRISE GUIDE

What to do, where to go, and what to eat this Eid

🎉 The long-awaited Eid El Adha break is right around the corner — and with a six-day break like that, it’s a chance to kick back, relax, and find an activity (or lack thereof) to do while you enjoy the Cairene spring. In this week’s edition of The Enterprise Guide, we’re breaking down where to go, what to eat, and what to watch this Eid. Let’s dive right in.

What to watch

There’s never a shortage of great Eid film releases in cinemas, and with this coming break, it may be time to hit the theaters and enjoy all that Egyptian — and international — cinema has to offer. Here are our top picks from this Eid’s releases, as well as other films that we enjoyed that are currently showing in cinemas.

#1- 7 Dogs: Egyptian cinematic legends Kareem Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Ezz rekindle their insane on-screen chemistry after Kira & El Gin in this hard-hitting action flick from the directors of Bad Boys and the stunt team behind John Wick. 7 Dogs is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. The film — which holds a Guinness WorldRecord for the Biggest Explosion in the History of Cinema — follows Interpol agent Khalid Al Azzazi, who joins forces with Ghali Abu Dawood of the 7 Dogs crime syndicate to fight drug trafficking.

The film stars Tara Emad, Hannah El Zahed, and Sayed Ragab alongside worldwide legends Monica Bellucci and Salman Khan. 7 Dogs comes out in cinemas on 27 May. Watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 2:17).


#2- Ezma: Brought to life on the big screen by the creative mind behind Hepta and Badaa Saat Fi Yawman Ma, Mohamed Sadek, Ezma is the newest novel -turned-film. The film follows Issa, who, on his 36th birthday, receives a mysterious gift from his 18-year-old self. The gift shakes him out of his passionless life and sets him on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery, unraveling his reality alongside his childhood friend Sera.

The film stars Ahmed Dawoud and Salma Abu Deif, alongside Hamza Diab and Jessica Hossam El Din, who play Issa and Sera’s younger selves. Ezma comes out in cinemas on 27 May. Watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 1:39).


As for other films worth checking out in cinemas this Eid, we enjoyed these releases: Michael, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and Asad.

Where to eat

There’s no shortage of restaurants across Egypt that serve lamb and grilled dishes for Eid. These are our top favorite oriental grill eateries for the ultimate “Eid El Lahma” experience.

#1- Haty Ahmed Nada: Starting us off is the hot new grill favorite in C-town. AhmedNada started off as a small restaurant in Ain Shams and later became a TikTok phenomenon — one we’d argue is worth the hype — with a total of four branches across Ain Shams, Almaza, and New Cairo. The restaurant also delivers on Talabat if you’re looking to enjoy its signature grills from the comfort of your own home (couch, to be specific) this Eid.


#2- El Dahan: A cult classic known for its range of Egyptian grills, El Dahan keeps us hooked with its signature grilled kofta and a collection of sandwiches, from classic staples such as kofta, sausage, and Alexandrian liver to a slew of chicken sandwiches. El Dahan has branches all over Cairo and also delivers on Talabat.


#3- Qasr Elkbabgi: Who doesn’t love dinner and a show? A steaming bowl of molokheya and an accompanying show are a QasrElkbabgi essential, and you’d be getting the extra-special treatment if you sit at the famous Qasr Elkbabgi throne. Serving up grilled dishes and a hearty menu of dishes like mombar and vine leaves, Qasr Elkbabgi is a must-try this Eid. The restaurant has branches across New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed, as well as on the North Coast, and can be found on Talabat.


#4- Hadramot Antar: Hadramot Antar serves up oriental food in style, with a cozy, Bedouin vibe, spectacular service, and ample portions. Perfect for big family gatherings in the Eid season, the restaurant caters to a variety of meats, including chicken, mandi, lamb, and beef grills. Hadramot Antar has branches in GesrEl Suez, New Cairo, and near Obour.


Still hungry? Check out our reviews of El Mohammady, Mazeej Balad, Tasht Tut, and Al Khan for further inspiration.

What to do

There’s never a dull moment in Egypt, whether you’re spending your Eid in Cairo or embarking on an Eid adventure outside the city — thinking of taking a day trip? Here are a few ideas.

#1- Take a day trip to the Wadi Degla Protectorate: Perfect for bonfires, camping, barbecuing during the day, and stargazing in the evening. If you’re looking for inclusive packages for your trip to Wadi Degla, you can check these out: Waffarha, DesertAdventures, or Cairo Top Tours.

#2- Head up to Hazel Farm for assured family fun, where your kids can enjoy a multitude of activities tailored to their whims, and you can enjoy a mini zoo, baking and pottery-making, picking fruits and vegetables on the farm, and ending the day with a big Eid feast.

#3- Keep things eco-chic with a trip to Il Campo eco-lodge and resort, where you can enjoy the quiet of undisturbed nature, equipped with barbecue facilities, a farm, and myriad activities designed for families, individuals, or friend groups to get away from the bustle of the city.

#4- Spend a day by the sea at Fins Kitesurfing center in Kai Sokhna, where you can pick up a new skill (or fear, depending on your tastes) with curated kitesurfing workshops, or simply spend the day lounging on the beach at this high-end seaside lounge.

If you’re looking to get out of the city and spend the weekend away, it may be worth it to check out our Fayoum weekend guide and Alexandria weekend guide as well.

Want to keep it low-key in Cairo? Say less. We have a carefully curated list of guides, from museums and galleries — including a special two-part guide to the GEM museum here and here — to green spaces in Cairo and picnic spots. We even have a Cairo staycation guide for those hoping for a quiet moment or two this Eid break.

At the Movies

One secret turns a couple’s life upside down in The Drama

🎥 A wedding-day dream turns into a claustrophobic nightmare in a cinematic experience that demands to be seen. Directed by Norway's Kristoffer Borgli and produced by the independent American studio A24, The Drama delivers a turbulent romance that immerses the audience in an unrelenting state of unease. From the very opening frame, the narrative maintains palpable tension, signaling that catastrophe is perpetually imminent.

The plot: The story begins in a cafe, where Charlie (Robert Pattinson) notices Emma (Zendaya) reading alone. Attraction prompts him to strike up a conversation, but the timeline swiftly advances to the days leading up to their wedding as they draft their vows. During an evening spent with friends Mike (Mamoudou Athie) and his wife, Rachel (Alana Haim), Rachel challenges the group to confess the absolute worst thing they’ve ever done. When Emma shares her secret, the revelation stuns the room — at one point, she came dangerously close to committing a serious crime, though she never ultimately crossed the line.

This plunges Charlie into a psychological crisis. Shaken and destabilized, he loses the ability to connect with Emma or those around him as his idealized perception of his fiancée dissolves. Even though Emma committed no actual offense, he cannot reconcile himself to the reality that she harbored the intent. The situation intensifies under Rachel’s continuous judgment, compounding the pressure on Charlie as he battles internal and external voices that drive him further away from Emma.

The film strongly echoes the style of Yorgos Lanthimos, particularly his recent masterpiece Bugonia. The narrative pacing, rapid tonal shifts, and a dissonant, jarring score maintain a constant sense of apprehension, keeping viewers entirely on edge as they await the inevitable collapse of control. Borgli’s deliberate camerawork and tight framing serve as an exceptional visual manifestation of the protagonists’ deteriorating emotional states.

Complementing the unconventional narrative, the performances are outstanding. Pattinson brilliantly embodies a character perpetually on the precipice of a breakdown, capturing every nuance of his internal friction. Zendaya delivers a commanding performance, while Jordyn Curet impresses as the teenage Emma, anchoring highly tense and distressing scenes.

The verdict: The Drama is a fascinating experience that methodically builds toward absolute chaos. For audiences who appreciate psychological thrillers that deliberately cultivate discomfort, The Drama is highly recommended.

WHERE TO WATCH IT- You can catch The Drama at Vox Cinemas at Mall of Egypt and Zawya. Watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 1:28).

Hot and Fresh Out of the Kitchen

Your next Italian spot: Donna Del Mare

🍴 Another classy Italian restaurant? We’re seated. Donna Del Mare carves out an Italian haven rooted in classic recipes and high-quality execution. We went, we dined, we savored the Italian fare, and we left satisfied.

What to expect: Stepping into the eatery, we were greeted by an inviting, curated atmosphere of warm lighting and organic yet elevated decor — dried pampas, bamboo chairs, wooden chandeliers, and shelves filled the space. Feeling comfortable and settled, we skimmed through the classics-driven menu — unsurprisingly heavy on the pastas and pizzas — alongside antipasti, soups, salads, and a small selection of main courses. After some deliberation, we settled on the familiar spaghetti carbonara and one of the two risotto options — the porcini mushroom risotto — with added chicken pieces.

What we loved: An authentic Italian fare, it truly was. Our dishes arrived hot, fresh, and appetizingly served in generous bowls. The carbonara was exactly what we hoped for — immaculately creamy, rich, and packed with flavorful beef. Meanwhile, the risotto was a mushroom lover’s dream, with a perfectly creamy consistency and well-seasoned chicken bites.

The verdict: With plenty left to explore on the menu, Donna Del Mare is shaping up to be a reliable Italian spot serving all the comfort-food classics and Italian delicacies one could ask for. Paired with its cozy, inviting space — though it leans slightly on the pricier side — the eatery is one we’d gladly return to for the occasional Italian indulgence.

WHERE TO FIND IT- You can find Donna Del Mare at New Cairo’s Square One Mall. You can also order via Talabat.

💵 Per person: EGP 800-1.2k.

🪑 Outdoor seating: Yes.

🍺 Alcohol: Yes.

🦽 Accessibility-friendly: Yes.

PASS THE CONTROLLER

Care to spend the nuclear apocalypse in Boston, Massachusetts?

🎮 For decades, Fallout was the messy, lovable, bug-ridden child of the RPG world. It was a franchise defined by its atmosphere and its equally incredible technical failures. But in April 2024, that changed. The release of the Amazon Prime TV adaptation dropped a bomb of popularity that revitalized a dormant IP and turned 10-year-old games into chart-topping bestsellers overnight.

Within weeks of the show’s premiere, Fallout 4 (released in 2015) shot back up to the #1 spot on sales charts across Europe. Suddenly, everyone wanted to be a Vault Dweller. Riding the high of the TV show, the studio released a “Next-Gen Update” for Fallout 4 intended to polish the game for modern consoles. Instead, it was met with fierce backlash from the community. The update broke years’ worth of essential player-made mods, introduced new bugs to a stable game, and delayed the highly anticipated fan expansion Fallout: London. For the newly inducted, however, it was simply fun.

So, what’s the plot? Players joining in after binging the show would be pleased to find more of the same — plus the added benefit of making your own choices without being frustrated at characters on TV. The game itself is set in the 2280s within a post-apocalyptic Boston. You’re the sole survivor from one of the vaults, and you just got out of cryo sleep. Your spouse is dead, and your son is kidnapped — your job? To find him.

With a slew of friendly companions and not-so-friendly foes along the way, you traverse the open-world wasteland, roam freely if you wish, or quest and level up. Along the way, you can pick up loot, which you can then use to craft new gear and weapons, with plenty of modification options. Which is to say: There’s a lot to do in Fallout, even if that’s just running around the map with the character’s canine companion Dogmeat.

The verdict: To put it simply, Fallout is fun. The game has survived the buggy launches, the lore disputes, and shifting industry trends. It proves that a strong world-building foundation can survive almost anything — even its own developers.

💯 Rating: 85/100.

⌛ Hours of gameplay: Unlimited.

🔁 Replay value: 9/10.

👾 Platforms: PC, Xbox, PlayStation.

💵 Price: On Game Pass; frequently under USD 10.

WHAT TO LISTEN TO

History, but make it cinematic with Dan Carlin’s Blueprint for Armageddon

👂 There are history podcasts, and then there’s Hardcore History — the wildly addictive show hosted by Dan Carlin, which somehow turns centuries-old events into edge-of-your-seat storytelling. Carlin’s most acclaimed series, Blueprint for Armageddon, dives deep into World War I, unpacking how Europe spiraled into one of history’s deadliest conflicts through nationalism, political alliances, and catastrophic decision-making.

What to expect: If you’re expecting a quick history recap, think again. Hardcore History episodes are famously long — often stretching beyond three hours — yet Carlin’s cinematic storytelling makes them feel surprisingly immersive. Rather than rattling off dates and names, he focuses on the human experience behind historical events, drawing listeners into the fear, chaos, and absurdity of war.

In Blueprint for Armageddon, Carlin explores everything from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the collapse of diplomacy to trench warfare and the terrifying rise of industrialized combat. The series examines not only how the war started but also how it permanently reshaped the modern world. Part one of the six-episode series (or episode 50 of Hardcore History, if you will), Blueprint for Armageddon I, focuses on how Europe became a ticking time bomb before 1914. Carlin breaks down the tangled alliances between major powers and explains how one assassination triggered a chain reaction that quickly escalated into global war.

The contrast between old-world military thinking and modern weaponry makes the episode even more compelling. Generals still believed in battlefield glory and heroic charges, while machine guns and artillery were turning war into industrial-scale slaughter. By the time trench warfare enters the picture, the episode feels less like a history lesson and more like watching civilization unravel in real time.

What we liked: Carlin’s biggest strength is his storytelling. He balances detailed historical analysis with emotional narration, making listeners feel the weight of every decision, battle, and casualty. Even in the densest moments, the podcast never feels dry or academic. His pacing also deserves credit. Carlin knows exactly when to zoom in on personal stories and when to step back into larger conversations about war, politics, and human nature — which is probably why listening to a three-hour episode feels effortless.

The verdict: If you enjoy long-form podcasts or narrative history, Blueprint for Armageddon is absolutely worth the time. The episodes are lengthy, but that depth is exactly what makes the series so compelling. Carlin doesn’t just explain World War I, he helps listeners understand why it still matters more than a century later.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can tune in to Hardcore History on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. You can find the Blueprint for Armageddon series available for purchase on Carlin's official website.
