THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Events in the region may cause the recently-greenlit state budget to undergo amendments

Good morning, friends, and happy Friday. We hope you're all looking forward to a relaxing weekend as much as we are.

And up next: two long weekends. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced 26 June as holiday in observance of the Islamic new year. Thursday, 3 July, will also be off instead of Monday, 30 June — which marks the 12th anniversary of the 30 June Revolution Day.

With two long weekends coming up, now might be the perfect time to put down your phone and reconnect with your reading habits. In this week’s guide, we’ve rounded up the ideal books to take with you to the beach — whether you’re in the mood for breezy summer flings, travel dramas, or quick, satisfying reads between dips in the sea.

Sahel – what was once Egypt's summer escape has become an economic hub, social ecosystem, and regional travel hotspot. And we’re going to help you decode its rapid evolution with EnterpriseAM Destination Sahel.

In a special four-part summer series we’re taking the insights you’ve come to expect of us seaside. Think everything from Ras El Hekma's impact and investment opportunities to exclusive interviews with key players. And it wouldn’t be Sahel season without a sprinkling of what’s shaking up socially.

Expect us in your inbox Tuesday, 24 June.

See you, Sahel-side.

LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

ECONOMY-

Regional turmoil may cause the recently-greenlit state budget to undergo amendments — whether in terms of revenues, expenditures, or the projected deficit — as the escalations between Israel and Iran continue and the prospect of US intervention looms, a senior government source told EnterpriseAM. If this is the case, these amendments are expected to come in 2H 2025, or if necessary, before the end of the current parliamentary session in October, the source said. The government could roll out tougher austerity measures if the regional war takes a turn for the worse, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said during his weekly presser.

We spoke to a handful of pundits to explore the war’s potential economic consequences for Egypt in an in-depth story. You can check it out here.

INVESTMENT WATCH-

#1- Qatar is in advanced discussions to develop a USD 3.5 bn tourism project on the North Coast, Bloomberg reports, citing what it says are sources familiar with the matter. The new project’s agreement is expected to be inked by the end of 2025, although its breakdown and exact location are yet to be revealed.

The timeline: The agreement is expected to witness Qatar providing Egypt with USD 1 bn after its signature, with the remaining amount to be delivered over the following year.

#2- Another Chinese factory has joined the list of solar component manufacturers working to set up shop in Egypt, with Sunrev Solar inking a contract with the China-Egypt TEDA trade zone to build a USD 200 mn integrated industrial complex for solar energy components. The project is expected to create over 1.8k direct jobs and generate up to USD 300 mn in annual exports, targeting regional and global markets.

CAPITAL MARKETS-

The EGX30 ended the week in the red, slipping 1.9% at yesterday’s close to 30.2k points amid investor jitters triggered by the Iran-Israel war and escalating regional tensions. The benchmark index wavered throughout the week after falling as much as 7.5% during the first few minutes of trading on Sunday and ending the day down 4.6%. Year-to-date, the index is up 1.7%.

DIPLOMACY-

The US is considering adding Egypt to its travel ban alongside 35 other nations that could join the 19 countries designated for full or partial travel bans earlier this month. The targeted countries will have a 60-day deadline to meet certain demands, or have their nationals be subject to a partial or full travel ban, in addition to a Wednesday deadline to submit an action plan to meet them.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT WEEK-

Valu to start trading on the EGX during: U Consumer Finance — which owns and operates the Valu brand will start trading on the EGX on Monday, 23 June at a reference price of EGP 0.777, according to a disclosure. In its first session, the company's stock will be allowed to trade within price limits ranging from the nominal value of EGP 0.10 as a minimum and the fair value of EGP 7.4 as a maximum without the application of temporary trading halt mechanisms.

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

The international press is zeroing in sharply on our part of the world as Israel’s war with Iran enters its seventh day.

Concern is rising that the US is preparing to join the war. Adding to the speculation, US President Donald Trump said yesterday he will decide whether the US will strike Iran “within two weeks,” as he waits to see how potential negotiations with Iran could go, despite US military assets already making their way to the region.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a stern response, warning the hawkish US president that US’ involvement in the conflict would “undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage.”

While the world’s attention turned to Iran, Israel’s starvation of Gaza and daily massacres continued, with Israeli tanks firing into crowds of people waiting for desperately needed food aid. “The people are dying, they are being torn apart to get food for their children,” one eyewitness told Reuters. The killing of those seeking aid in what the UN describes as the “the hungriest place on Earth” has become a depressingly familiar story, with the entire population of Gaza being at risk of famine.

IN BUSINESS NEWS- The US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady for the fourth consecutive meeting despite increasing pressure from the Trump administration to change course. Chair Jerome Powell doubled down on the reserve’s position that they will wait to assess the full impact of the tariffs on US imports before “considering any adjustments to our policy stance.” Despite the decision to hold, the Fed still sees two interest rates to come before the end of year.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

The capital will be seeing its hottest day of the week today, with the mercury set to peak at 38°C before cooling to 24°C at night. Tomorrow will be a little cooler, with a high of 36°C and a low of 22°C.

The North Coast will be experiencing cooler weather, with this weekend’s temperatures expected to reach just 30°C during the day and 20-21°C at night, according to our favorite weather app

Books to keep you company by the beach

?Heading up north? Or perhaps east for your share of Red Sea sun? No matter the coastline, one thing remains unfortunately true: lounging by the beach can become monotonous faster than expected. While beach time offers unrivaled relaxation, it doesn’t take long for idle sunbathing to turn into restlessness. The remedy? Considering digital screens don’t fare all too well by the beach, a good old book might just be your most reliable ally.

Not sure what book to grab for your weekend getaway? We curated a list for you. From vacations gone wrong and summer flings to experience vicariously, to short novellas that can be read in between pool dips, here’s what we recommend for your next beachside read.

SUMMER FLINGS-

Summer is never complete without a casual fling — and if you’re not living one firsthand, you should at least experience it through characters who don’t have to suffer any consequences. Here are our beachside romcom recommendations:

#1- Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez. What do you do when every single person you date ends up breaking up with you only to find their soulmate after? Naturally, you vent on Reddit. When Emma comes across Justin’s post and realizes they share the same dating curse, the pair decide to fake-date to see if they can indeed summon their soulmates afterwards. But what was supposed to be a quick summer fling may not burn out as quickly as they had imagined.

? Page count: 432

? Where to get it: You can find the book at Diwan.

#2- Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood. What’s the first thing you do when you land in Italy? Easy — you fall in love with someone twice your age. Maya is 23, lost, confused, and on vacation in Europe where she meets 38-year old Conor who pretty much has everything together — It would simply never work out. When you’re stuck in a villa on the Ionian coast together, however, incompatibility becomes negotiable.

⭐️ Goodreads rating: 4.07/5

? Page count: 416

? Where to get it: You can place a special order for Problematic Summer Romance at The Bookspot or get the e-book from Amazon.

#3- Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry follows two writers. One’s still dreaming of her big break, and the other has a Pulitzer under his belt. The two are on Little Crescent Island for the same goal: Writing the memoir of Margaret Ives — an heiress of one of the most scandalous families of the 20th century. Ives toys with the potential biographers, giving them different pieces of the puzzle. As both writers compete for the privilege of writing her biography, they find themselves creating an entirely different story.

VACATIONS GONE WRONG-

For readers who prefer suspense with their sunshine, these novels explore what happens when a getaway takes a dark turn. Spanning odd island mishaps and accidental murders, here are a few books we think you’ll enjoy.

#1- You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego. Six thriller authors are invited to a writing retreat in a mysterious remote manor off the coast of Maine, where the manor’s owner plans to give them a taste of their own fictional medicine with a week of games and trope-fuelled puzzles. Mila del Angél — who is hired by the owner to host the writing retreat — has a secret vendetta to fulfill, but things take a turn when a guest turns up dead and it's not the murder she planned. It’s a whodunit where the suspects are all expert plotters themselves.

⭐️ Goodreads rating: 3.59/5

? Page count: 371

? Where to get it: You can find You Are Fatally Invited at Cherry Blossom Books.

#2- One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware. Sometimes when the going gets tough, you just have to leave your dignity at the door and sign up for a reality television show. For Lyla and Nico — whose lives are in a rut — a show called “The Perfect Couple” in which they compete against four other couples for a hefty grand prize may just be their ticket to a fresh start. However, when they arrive at the deserted island where the show is set to be shot, it becomes clear that their lives are at stake. TLDR: Think Survivor — but with a body count.

#3- The Retirement Plan by Sue Hincenbergs.

What do you do? For Pam, Nancy, Shalisa, and Marlene, the answer was simple: Kill the husbands, cash out on the life insurance policies, and retire in peace. As the women begin formulating their murderous plans, they quickly realize that the husbands have a plan of their own, and so the dance begins.

⭐️ Goodreads rating: 3.78/5

QUICK DIPS-

For travelers who prefer shorter commitments, we get it — you’re on vacation, and you can’t exactly lug around a few 400-page novels. These novellas pack quite the punch in a fraction of the length — and the best part? You’ll actually get to mark them as read on your Goodreads account.

#1- The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly by Sun-mi Hwang. When chickens make us cry, it’s usually because there’s too much Nashville hot sauce on them, but Sprout made us weep for an entirely different reason. Hailed as the Korean “Charlotte’s Web,” the story follows Sprout — a chicken no longer willing to lay eggs on command just to have them taken from her. Sprout wants to experience motherhood and roam free with her offspring in the wild, yet her world is unforgiving and cruel, and those around her will stop at nothing to remind her that she cannot survive beyond the confines of the system.

⭐️ Goodreads rating: 3.98/5

? Page count: 134

?Where to get it: You can find the e-book on Amazon or listen to the audiobook on Storytel.

#2- The Crane Husband by Kelly Barnhill. A 15-year-old girl’s life turns upside down when her mother brings home a crane — a literal humanoid bird — as her new husband. As the crane's presence grows increasingly sinister and the mother falls under his spell, the daughter senses that something is deeply wrong, stepping up to protect her brother while uncovering the dark truth about their new reality. Based on a Japanese folktale, the novella weaves magical realism and dark fantasy into a compelling coming-of-age tale. Bonus tip: Read by the beach — at night.

⭐️ Goodreads rating: 3.87/5

? Page count: 118

? Where to get it: You can find The Crane Husband as an e-book on Amazon, or listen to the audiobook on Storytel.

#3- Galatea by Madeline Miller. A reimagining of the Greek myth, Galatea follows the titular statue-turned-woman as she grapples with the nature of her own existence. She is, after all, beholden to her maker — the brilliant sculptor who brought her to life. Galatea begins dreaming of a life of her own, unbound by duty or obligation to anyone, and becomes determined to break free. Like Madeline Miller’s other works, Galatea offers a fresh perspective on the story that inspired it. It’s short, breezy, and will take you about twenty minutes to read — until the paneé turns golden.

How to train a live-action dragon

? Your memory might be a little rusty, and this live-action remake is here to remind you once more how to train a dragon. 15 years after the release of the popular animated film series, Canadian director Dean DeBlois is taking us back to his favorite universe with a rendition of How to Train Your Dragon that brings the story to life through real actors, CGI, practical effects, and puppetry. The film joins a long list of animated favorites getting the live-action treatment, but will it live up to its predecessor?

Take cover. How to Train Your Dragon takes place on the fictional Viking island of Berk — where people find themselves constantly under attack by dragons. Determined to wipe out the threat, the villagers train their children for combat from an early age, while the men go to war. For our main character, Hiccup (Mason Thames), life’s a bit of a cruel mess. As if having a frail build and gentle heart as a viking weren’t enough, Hiccup finds himself under immense pressure to shape up from his father, the island chief (played by Gerald Butler, who also voices the character in the original film).

A life-changing encounter. When Hiccup comes across a Night Fury dragon — a species feared as the most dangerous — he finds a creature that is surprisingly gentle and intelligent. Hiccup begins to question everything his village believes about dragons as an unlikely bond forms between him and “Toothless” — a name fit for a dragon, naturally. Hiccup begins having dangerous thoughts that won’t sit well with the rest of his people: What if people and dragons could co-exist?

Does the live-action adaptation offer something new? While DeBlois had emphasized his desire to introduce new emotional dimensions to both the story and the characters, the film largely retreads familiar ground. Only a handful of scenes veered away from the original, primarily ones between Hiccup and his father. That said, we still enjoyed our time at the cinema. The casting was strong, performances expressive, and visual effects striking.

While the film may not break new ground, it’s a nostalgic journey through a universe beloved by many. Lots of love went into the film, and it’s easy to tell — the cast and crew’s passion for the fictional island (and dragons) was infectious. Don’t believe us? Check out the film’s BTS documentary for yourself. The production’s wholesome energy is perhaps reason enough for us to overlook the Hollywood remake curse amidst a cinematic season that isn’t living up to expectations.

Need a refresher? You can watch the original How to Train Your Dragon trilogy on OSN+.

WHERE TO WATCH- How to Train Your Dragon is screening at Vox Cinemas — in City Center Almaza, Mall of Egypt, and Mall of Alexandria — as well as Point 90 Cinema, CFC and District 5’s Scene Cinemas, and Cima Arkan. You can watch the trailer on YouTube (watch, runtime: 2:28).

How Korean women took matters into their own hands

?How one domestic spark ignited a global fire. Penned by South Korean journalist and former AFP Seoul Correspondent Hawon Jung, Flowers of Fire tells the story of the Korean feminist movement and its far-reaching impact. Often portrayed in pop culture as delicate, meek, and likened to flowers, Korean women have long been misconceived by the world. In this non-fiction account of South Korea’s feminist history, Jung flips the script; indeed, Korean women are flowers — though of a different kind.

It only takes a flicker. Drawing on years of on-ground journalistic experience and myriad interviews with Korean women who spearheaded the battle against the patriarchy, Jung gives readers a first-row seat to the events of South Korea’s feminist revolution. She puts to paper the stories of the women who have illuminated a path towards change, from Seo Ji-hyun — the public prosecutor who ignited the #MeToo movement in South Korea — all the way to the group of women who led a campaign against non-consensual photography and videography. In doing so, Jung spotlights the trials and tribulations of Korean women, and shares their experiences in a way that resonates profoundly with readers.

A flawed system. Jung adeptly dissects the social constraints designed to keep Korean Women hindered. Korean women are expected to be caring mothers and obedient housewives while maintaining the ludicrously pressuring Korean standards of beauty. Through the first-hand accounts of the women who have dedicated their lives to overcoming these boundaries, the author highlights the struggles that come with rewriting the rules.

Flowers of Fire is neatly divided into four distinct sections. The opening section tackles the growing popularity of the #MeToo movement in the country, while the second turns back time to discuss the history of feminism in South Korea. The third dissects the on-going South Korean spy camera epidemic, and the final section analyses South Korean beauty standards as well as the societal pressure to conform.

This is not just a historical account of South Korea’s feminist movement, Flowers of Fire delves deep into the movement beyond the borders of the country that inspired it. The book is filled with scores of real-life stories that invite readers to carefully examine the rules of their societies and question whether traditional gender expectations still serve us. Published in 2023, the book's revelations feel as urgent today as they did upon release, offering an invaluable window into stories that are too often silenced.

WHERE TO GET IT - You can find Flowers of Fire as an e-book on Amazon, or listen to the audiobook on Storytel.

It’s never too late for breakfast at Duchess

? One thing about royals, you can’t tell them what they can’t do. New Cairo’s Duchess at Polaris Mall is certainly no exception — she gets what she wants, and serves what she wants, no matter the time of day. Even if that means breakfast in the evening. You see, we’ve been hearing chatter about Duchess’ famed breakfast for quite some time now, and so naturally, we had to see what all the fuss was about. We found out…and you need to, too.

Nothing too fancy, and that’s the point. When you first step foot in Duchess, you’ll quickly realize this is a spot where you lay low and put your legs up. Duchess is humble and doesn’t like to flaunt its aristocratic status; the seating area is cozy, lush, and comfortable with a direct view of New Cairo’s North 90 street.

So, for the main event — what’s on the menu? Quite a lot — you can choose between a plethora of breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, a slew of creative savory breakfast specials, and a selection of sweet breakfast dishes. Breakfast is Duchess’ signature, but an all-day menu — offering hearty burgers, generously-portioned pastas, and a few familiar main dishes — provides ample choice for those to whom eggs are strictly morning business.

What did we get? We’re glad you asked. A quick exchange with our server let us in on the fact that the corn ribs were their signature appetizer and we simply couldn’t resist. Joining the ribs’ ranks were the Bacon Butty sandwich, — bacon, eggs, aioli, and cheese in sourdough — the steak and mushrooms omelette, the Sir Benedick, — an eggs benedict dish with bacon — and for the metaphorical cherry on top, the House Chicken Alfredo. A peach iced tea was the beverage of choice, and as such, the feast began.

We’ll be having breakfast for dinner every day now, thank you. Duchess’ all-day breakfast gimmick is anything but. It works, not only because it’s the only restaurant in New Cairo doing that, but because breakfast is indeed Duchess’ bread and butter — they’ve perfected it. The Bacon Butty drenched us in sauce and we couldn’t complain. The steak and mushroom omelette was a match made in heaven, and Sir Benedick deserved to be knighted once more for its valiant efforts to successfully bring peace to our stomachs.

As it turns out, our server was correct. The corn ribs appetizers appear to be popular for a reason, and we’ll definitely be going back for some more. The alfredo was nothing out of the ordinary, perhaps because it was overshadowed by its breakfast counterparts.

Our verdict: Duchess promises and delivers. In terms of taste, the kitchen has perfected its recipes and portions are quite on the generous side, so you’ll be getting your money’s worth.

You can find Duchess at New Cairo’s Polaris Mall.

Holy wires and ghost interventions

? You might think you’ve heard every wild story America has to offer — until you tune in to The Dollop. In this long-running comedy-history podcast, comedian Dave Anthony reads a real (and usually ridiculous) story from American history to his unsuspecting co-host Gareth Reynolds, whose off-the-cuff reactions are half the fun. The result is part lecture, part improv — and 100% chaos.

You could start with episode #607: John Murray Spear and His Machine. Spear was a 19th-century spiritualist who claimed to be in touch with a council of deceased inventors — Benjamin Franklin included — who instructed him to build a mechanical messiah. The episode dives deep into the era’s obsession with electricity, the rise of séance-fueled innovation, and one man’s attempt to birth a new savior from copper wires and magnets. Reynolds' real-time unraveling at the idea of “spiritual engineering” turns this already-unbelievable story into a hilarious dissection of belief, science, and scam. Come for the ghosts; stay for the absurdity.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
