THE WEEK IN REVIEW

U Consumer Finance begins trading on the EGX

Good morning, friends, and happy weekend. We hope you’re getting some rest — and already planning for the next long weekend to come.

If you’re staying in Cairo and haven’t gotten around to planning your weekend yet, we’ve got you covered. Weekends spent at home can often pass you by before you know it — and considering its summer, that would be a shame. We’ve gathered up a few ideas on how you could spend your time this weekend — and all the Cairo weekends to come.

Whether you’re staying in Cairo or heading to Sahel, don’t miss the first issue of our four-part special series: Destination Sahel — if you haven’t already given it a read.

LAST WEEK IN 3 MINS-

CAPITAL MARKETS-

U Consumer Finance — which owns and operates the Valu brand — begantrading on the EGX under the ticker VALU.CA. In its first day of trading, shares in the company increased 852.4% from its opening price of EGP 0.78 to end the day at EGP 7.40 — maxing out the price ceiling given to the homegrown fintech. Company shares closed at EGP 8.88 apiece yesterday.

The move handed Amazon a 3.95% stake in the company. The e-commerce giant had purchased USD 10 mn worth of EFG Hermes’ London-listed GDRs back in 2022 with an option to convert them into a stake in Valu in the event of a third-party investment, IPO, or other liquidity event.

EnterpriseAM sat down with Valu CEO Walid Hassouna to explore the driving forces behind the company’s success and discuss what lies ahead. You can check out part one here and part two here.

ECONOMY-

The Finance Ministry completed a USD 1 bn sovereign sukuk issuance on the Vienna Stock Exchange in a private placement offering an annual yield of 7.875% with a three-year maturity, according to a statement from the Finance Ministry and another from the Vienna Stock Exchange seen by EnterpriseAM. The private placement was fully subscribed by Kuwait Finance House and follows Egypt’s maiden sukuk issuance in February 2023.

M&A WATCH-

Qalaa Holding’s mining arm Ascom will submit a EGP 641.0 mn purchase offer for Raya Holding’s entire 90% stake in freight subsidiary Ostool after its board greenlit the offer. The potential transaction values Ostool’s shares at EGP 8.22 each.

DEBT WATCH-

SANAD, GGF back Beltone Leasing and Factoring with USD 20 mn: Beltone Leasing and Factoring secured USD 20 mn in funding from impact investment funds SANAD Fund for MSME and the Green for Growth Fund (GGF) — both managed by Germany-based impact asset manager Finance in Motion. Each fund provided a USD 10 mn package, with a repayment tenor of five years.

AROUND THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS-

The foreign press followed the Iran-Israel conflict as it flared into an intensified war before settling into a tenuous truce, with continued massacres in Gaza and the release of pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil also making headlines.

US President Donald Trump announced “a complete and total ceasefire” between Iran and Israel, ending nearly two weeks of missile exchanges that killed hundreds. The announcement came shortly after Iran launched a missile strike on the US’ largest military base in the region in Qatar in response to strikes on its nuclear facilities. The US had joined the conflict earlier this week, hitting three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

Speculation continues around the extent of damage on Iran’s nuclear facilities following the US’ attacks on three of its sites, with Trump asserting that the leaked intelligence assessment from a day earlier was inconclusive and that the damage was actually severe. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei later said the sites were “badly damaged” in a TV interview. It’s still unclear how badly they were hit, with some sources saying the nuclear program was set back only a few months’ time, and others — namely, Israel — saying it’s years. (Bloomberg | Reuters)

While the world’s attention was turned to Iran, Israel continued its almost daily massacres of those seeking aid in Gaza, bringing the number of those killed in similar attacks to over 500 in just the past two weeks.

AND- Columbia University graduate and pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil was released on bail after a federal judge called his three-month detention in the immigration facility unconstitutional. Khalil, who has become a symbol of Trump’s crackdown on both foreign residents and those who have voiced pro-Palestinian support, was reunited with his son and wife and vowed to carry on advocating for Palestinian rights.

☀️ THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND-

It’s still sunny in the capital today, with the mercury set to peak at 35°C before cooling down to a sensible 21°C at night. Tomorrow will be slightly warmer, with temperatures reaching 36°C. Saturday will be the hottest day of the weekend, with the mercury set to peak at 38°C before dropping to 22°C at night.

It’s a different story up north. It’s going to be a cool weekend across the North Coast, with temperatures expected to reach just 26-28°C during the day and 24-25°C at night, according to our favorite weather app.

HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND-

The ‘90s are calling, and tomorrow, we’re picking up. Egyptian band Cassette ‘90s will be performing live at Zamalek’s El-Sawy Culturewheel, and you best believe they’ll be doubling down on nostalgia. This motley crew of ‘90s aficionados knows how to keep an audience on their feet, so if a trip a few decades back sounds like a fun time, secure your spot through El-Sawy Culturewheel’s website.

Spending the weekend in Cairo? How does an afternoon of kayaking and painting sound? Tomorrow Boards and Boats is hosting a Kayak and Paint workshop in collaboration with Artsy Egypt at Mountain View Hyde Park. Reach out to Boards and Boats through Instagram to secure your spot.

If you play your cards right, you might just walk home victorious. Tomorrow, Maadi’s Darb 15 will be hosting quite the competitive game night in collaboration with game gurus Playful Batta. Ready for battle? You can secure your spot through the link in Darb 15’s Instagram bio.

The Cairokee Empire rises once more, this time at the Cairo International Stadium. On Saturday, the band promises over a decade’s worth of iconic music at the largest venue in Africa. You can grab your tickets through Tazkarti.

Lose yourself in the last of Beethoven’s symphonies at the Cairo Opera House. On Saturday, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 will reverberate throughout the Main Hall as Maestro Ahmed El Saedi guides his orchestra through the most influential of symphonic works. Tickets can be purchased through Tazkarti.

Ready to cause a ruckus? On Saturday, CJC 610 is hosting one loud, positively chaotic metal night. Featuring Egyptian System of a Down tribute band Soaad, thrash metal band Gorynov, Cyprus-based Ka’aper, and Egyptian death metal band Scarab, it’s bound to be a night for your personal history book. You can secure your spot through CJC 610’s website.

Egyptian rock band Medic is celebrating its 20th anniversary at Downtown Cairo’s Rawabet Art Space on Saturday. Founded in 2005, the progressive rock and metal band has been causing a ruckus — the good kind — all over the country — and for their 20th anniversary show, they’re going all out. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketsmarché.

HAPPENING NEXT WEEKEND-

Freshen up your linen shirts and pack up your shades, because Egyptian megastar Amr Diab will be kicking off Sahel season at Sol Beach Marassi on Friday, 4 July. Joining the Hadaba will be German electronic dance music producer and singer Monolink, and Copenhagen-based experimental pop trio WhoMadeWho. You can grab your tickets from Ticketsmarché. Just don’t forget your sunblock.

They’re not humans, they’re not machines, they’re simply…alive. Hailing from Northern Italy and landing in Sahel’s Kyma Beach Southmed, transcendental DJ duo Mathame will be giving North Coast dwellers a taste of their cinematic techno finesse on Friday, 4 July. Ticket details are yet to be announced, but we’d suggest keeping an eye out for them on Kyma’s website.

Your guide to a Cairo staycation.

🎡 The only downside to Sahel season is that sometimes we have to miss out. Heading up north every weekend is ideally the goal — but alas, life gets in the way. If you find yourself spending your weekends in Cairo, however, staying in to binge watch Grey’s Anatomy — or your comfort show of choice — doesn’t necessarily have to be your sole option. After all, Summer season is a mindset, and one you can adopt right in the heart of the capital.

Care for a proper staycation? We’ve gathered up a few ideas on how you can spend your weekend in Cairo without getting stuck in routine. From daily excursions to adrenaline-fueled activities, this is our staycation guide.

THE 12-HOUR ESCAPADES-

Leaving your house and not looking back is arguably one of the most defining aspects of Sahel season. In Cairo, this proves a little bit difficult to achieve — but what if it doesn’t have to be? Here are a few ways you can spend a full day outside (and actually enjoy it).

#1- A make-believe resort day. Vacationing is all about taking care of yourself — and in the process, letting others take care of you. Maadi’s Osana Family Wellness is one such place where both can happen. Open from 8am-8pm, you can grab a health-conscious breakfast from the Osana Café — we recommend the muesli bowl — book a morning yoga class, re-energize with a fresh glass of juice, and head back up for a personalized massage therapy session. When all is done, you’ll find that the café doesn’t hold back on lunch options. When all your appetites are satiated, you might want to grab a book and lay down in the shade. Need to scratch that retail therapy itch? Osana’s store — and weekly vintage markets — got you covered.

Can’t make it to Maadi? Check out our spa and wellness center guide for similar excursions.

WHERE TO FIND OSANA- Osana is located at 4 El Nadi Street, Maadi.

#2- A Greater Cairo day trip. Day trips are Qahrwya’s bread and butter. The sight-seeing tour agency has been hosting weekly tours all around the capital — and neighboring districts — since its inception in 2018. The best part? You won’t have to exert an ounce of effort planning anything out — all you have to do is show up. Primarily cultural in nature, Qahrawya’s tours encompass everything from quick afternoon visits to cultural sights, all the way to full-day trips.

Feel like getting in touch with your artsy side? Qahrawya’s tours include Wrapped in Silk, a day trip to Al Haraneyah and Dahshour that includes visits to the Ramsis Wissa Wassef Center, the Adam Hanin Museum, the Glass Museum, and real-life farms. A traditional lunch is part of the itinerary, and so are a selection of workshops. Can’t commit to a full day? Qahrawya often offers short visits to destinations such as the City of the Dead and El Mounira. If you’re looking for something a tad more specific, they can personalize a tour just for you.

WHERE TO FIND QAHRAWYA- You can check out Qahrawya’s upcoming tours through their official Instagram account, and peruse their tour brochure through the link in their bio.

#3- Want a picture-perfect picnic? Cairo lacks open green spaces, but if you know where to look, you’ll make yourself quite happy. Whether you’re treating yourself to a “me day” with a charcuterie board in tow, or going all out with your friend group on a full-fledged picnic experience, we’d suggest paying Family Park a visit. Time indeed flies when you’re having fun — but it somehow slows down at the New Cairo park.

Sun, shade, and…camels? You might worry that spending an entire day at a park will get old pretty quickly, but Family Park has enough to keep you entertained. If you’re with the kids — or self-identify as one — you’ll find games, a “magical” river, and a zoo filled with curious furry friends. The park has a few F&B outlets, but we’d recommend going prepared. Not sure what to pack in your picnic basket? Check out our picnic guide.

WHERE TO FIND FAMILY PARK- Family Park is in New Cairo, right next to Rehab City Entrance 2.

THE CULTURE FIX-

This one’s for those amongst us that could use some precious quiet time. What better way to get your mind off your 9-5 than by immersing yourself in art? From art galleries to destinations that have stood the test of time, here’s where to go to revisit the past — and the passions of those from it.

#1- TAM Gallery. Amongst Egypt’s biggest art galleries, The Arts-Mart (TAM) — the gallery behind Cairo Art Fair — is a maze even Theseus would have a hard time navigating — but only because he’d be too busy admiring the art. TAM’s Grand Hall on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road is a 1k sqm behemoth hangar housing thousands of art pieces from hundreds of contemporary multidisciplinary Egyptian artists — both established and rising.

Naturally, you’ll want to go home with a piece or two — but do you break the bank? You won’t really have to. TAM is currently holding The Summer Affordable Art Show — an exhibition at the Abu Rawwash flagship TAM Venue — and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Pieces are priced between EGP 1k-60k, with the exhibition running until the end of August.

WHERE TO FIND TAM GALLERY- TAM Gallery has many branches, including at District 5, but you’ll find the flagship venue on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, 2km after exiting the 26 July axis.

#2- Bibliothek Arkan. What’s an art gallery, a café, and a bookstore? You guessed it — Bibliothek. A 3-in-1 arthouse, Bibliothek is every old soul’s dream; you can peruse their selection of books — many of which you won’t find at mainstream bookstores in Cairo — grab a coffee and a croissant while you read, and end your visit with a tour through Bibliothek’s multidisciplinary art gallery. Bibliothek has two branches; one in Arkan Plaza and the other at New Cairo’s U Venues. While both are 3-in-1 arthouses, we found ourselves more in tune with ourselves at the Arkan branch.

WHERE TO FIND BIBLIOTHEK- You can find Bibliothek on the second floor of the F3 building at Arkan Plaza.

#3- The Baron Palace. It may come as a surprise, but the Baron Palace isn’t just a wedding venue or Suhoor tent destination — it’s also a museum. The Hindu-style palace is amongst the very first buildings to exist in Heliopolis, and it still towers over the district. The museum consists of several floors and rooms, each with their own displays detailing the history of the palace, as well as that of Heliopolis, and all the historical events its colossal walls have borne witness to. Its crown and glory? Its panoramic roof.

WHERE TO FIND THE BARON PALACE – The palace is quite difficult to miss, being situated right in the middle of El Orouba street, Heliopolis. Ticket details are available on the official website, with tickets purchased in-person at the gates.

GAME ON-

Is laying low simply not your thing? We get it, sometimes we crave a little competitive chaos too. Here’s where to go for a last-minute adrenaline rush.

#1 – El Malahy. From mild to wild, you’ll find rides and games to keep you busy for hours. Rollercoasters? Check. Ice-skating? Check. Gilmore Girls-esque town carnival games? You got it. El Malahy also boasts a number of crowd-favorite F&B outlets — so it’s a sure shot that you’ll have fun, one way or another.

WHERE TO FIND EL MALAHY- El Malahy is located in Katameya on the Cairo-Sokhna road. Tickets are sold at the gate, with prices starting from EGP 525.

#2 – Ground Control. The New Cairo spot offers the kind of arcade experience you didn’t know you needed. You’ll find all the classics; think basketball, cup pong, table football, air hockey, and axe-throwing, and there’s also a bowling alley and a few pool tables if you think you can win a game of 8 Ball.

Just show up and show out. Once you get your rechargeable card, you can spend as much or as little as you want. Each game comes at its own cost, and is just one swipe away from delivering joy. There’s also a food outlet, but we’d recommend hopping on over to Jimmy’s Pizzeria next door when you’re all gamed out.

WHERE TO FIND GROUND CONTROL- Ground Control is right next to the Scene Cinema complex at District 5.

DIPPIN’ IN THE CAPITAL

You can do quite a lot in Cairo — as we’ve already established. But what if that’s not enough? Sometimes to escape the heat, nothing works quite like a few hours in a pool. If you don’t have one in your vicinity, we’d recommend heading to the New Sakkara Country Club to kick back, relax, and spend the day. Miss the feel of sand between your toes? New Cairo’s JW Marriott has its own artificial beach. Need further inspiration? Check out our pools guide.

The rage virus is still alive and well 28 years later

📽 Rage is the only constant in this ever-changing world. Oscar-winning British director Danny Boyle takes us back to post-apocalyptic Britain with 28 Years Later — the third installment in the horror franchise that kicked off in 2002 with 28 Days Later, and returned later in 2007 with 28 Weeks Later. How has the world fared since then? Well, it’s not peaches and roses; we’ll tell you that.

First things first, what happened 28 years ago? When two English scientists attempted to find a cure for anger control issues after crime rates skyrocketed across the UK, they fumbled the ball…big time. Apes carrying the “rage” virus spread it to humans like wildfire, and soon enough, the entire population of the country began displaying symptoms reminiscent of the Ebola virus, with 10 times the rage and the added side-effect of essentially being zombies.

The film takes place on Holy Island off the UK coast years after the outbreak. We meet our cast of survivors, including the young Spike (Alfie Williams), his father Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and his ill mother Isla (Jodie Comer). When the time comes for Spike to join his father on a zombie hunt on the most dangerous part of the island, they cross paths with quite the suspicious individual, Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes). Spike sets his suspicions aside in hopes that Kelson might be able to cure his mother. Our young protagonist then decides to bring her to Kelson in secret, but the trip doesn’t go as planned.

When compared to its predecessors, differences in the nature of the story and the plot become apparent. Screenwriter Alex Garland chose to have the film focus more heavily on character development rather than shock value. Unlike the first two films, the infected have become more in control of their movements over the years. Humans have also gotten smarter when it comes to navigating the ever-looming threat. The entire cast delivered stellar performances — particularly Fiennes.

Boyle took a risk — and it paid off. The British director is no stranger to experimental filmmaking, having filmed 28 Days Later on digital cameras for an eerie effect that doubles down on the horror. This time around, Boyle opted to film with iPhones, which proved easier to operate, especially considering the nature of the shooting locations.

Some aspects of the plot just don’t make sense, but then again, it’s a horror-fantasy. The filmmakers brought back an incredible franchise, with hints towards yet another upcoming installment picking up where 28 Years Later leaves off. Is 28 Years Later the best in the franchise? Perhaps not, but it stands out for its attempt to dissect the human psyche.

A friendly warning: 28 Years Later isn’t family friendly, to say the least. The film is heavy on the gore, and may not suit certain audiences.

WHERE TO WATCH- 28 Years Later is currently screening at Vox Cinemas in City Center Almaza, Mall of Egypt, and City Center Alexandria. You can also catch the film at CFCM and District 5’s Scene Cinemas, Cima Arkan, and Zawya. You can watch the trailer on YouTube (runtime: 2:12).

One tumultuous magical river

📚 This river’s roots run deep. The thing about fantasies is that sometimes they’re tough to follow — The River Has Roots by Amal El Mohtar isn’t. In her debut solo novel, the Lebanese-Canadian co-author of This is How You Lose the Time War takes us to a small town with an aptly mystical name — Thistleford. There, at its edge, the Hawthorn family live a life that the townsfolk deem mysterious — so what are they actually up to?

Why does one sing to the trees? The novel follows Esther and Ysabel Hawthorn — the family’s youngest daughters in an eons-long line of willow tree caretakers. They tend to and harvest the magical trees, and remain faithful to their family’s ancient pact of singing to the trees to show gratitude for their magic, which in this universe, is grammar — or perhaps, an interesting take on its definition.

Stranger danger. When Rin, a shape-shifting fae from Arcadia — the land that lies beyond Thistleford, reveals itself to the sisters, Esther is tempted to leave the world behind and follow the enigmatic fae into Arcadia, shunning a suitor with not-so-good intentions. Unfortunately, Esther’s suitor doesn’t take well to rejection, and the sisters find themselves in grave danger — but that’s all we’ll say.

Grammar is change, and what is magic if not change? In The River Has Roots, grammar is a sought-after substance; a gram of it worth fortunes — yet it’s not so easy to acquire. We will refrain from delving into the details of what role “grammar” plays in the novella’s plot to avoid spoilers, but we’ll say this: the writing is impeccable — grammar and all. The River Has Roots is reminiscent of the childhood tales we all grew up reading — albeit tailored to a more adult audience. The writing is poetic, beautiful, and — fittingly — fantastical. Just like its titular river, it just flows.

It’s better to be surprised. This is perhaps one of those books that are best explored with limited knowledge of what lies within their pages. However, it’s worth noting that The River Has Roots is less of a run-of-the-mill clear-cut novella and one that hinges more on the experiential side, so keep an open mind. It’s a short read at just under 135 pages, but one you’ll want to take your time with.

WHERE TO GET IT- You can find The River Has Roots at The Bookspot or you can get the e-book from Amazon.

Bao buns for days

🍴 There are Asian fusion restaurants — and then there’s Yangtze Qú. Calling New Cairo’s North 90 street home, this modern Asian fusion restaurant serves up flavors we don’t remember encountering elsewhere. From Japanese milk bread and Chinese Bao buns all the way to Thai noodle soup, Yangtze Qú’s menu flows through all sorts of cuisines, much like its namesake river.

A cherry-blossom haven. Yangtze Qú is a “blink and you’ll miss it” kind of spot — its location at The Nox is a double-edged sword; on one hand, you likely won’t encounter the Asian dining destination unless you’re a self-proclaimed Nox resident, on the other, you’ll be glad to find a spot you can call your own. At first glance, Yangtze Qú may come across as the sort of restaurant you can’t quite laugh at loud in, but don’t let the dim lighting and the intricate interiors fool you — the restaurant is all about having fun.

What’s on the menu? We’re glad you asked. Yangtze Qú’s menu boasts a selection of fresh salads — think Kani salads and fig salads — golden spring rolls, fresh tartare, noodle soups, sushi platters, dumplings, and a variety of hearty Pan-Asian main dishes. The star of the show, however? The bao buns.

Un-bao-lievably good. Initially, we were set on a sushi platter; our server, however, gave us a passing recommendation that would come to alter the course of our evening. Heeding the call, we opted for the Bao Bun Korean chicken, the Savory Bao Bun Beef, the Shrimp Dynamite Taco, as well as the chicken and shrimp gyoza dumplings.

The bao buns delivered — and then some. Soft and sweet, the buns perfectly offset the explosion of flavors nestled within. The dumplings proved difficult to ration, with eager hands quickly reaching for them one after another. The soft-shell shrimp tacos also cast a spell of a similar potency, yet we ultimately found ourselves going back to the bao buns.

The verdict: If you find yourself in Yangtze Qú’s vicinity, do yourself a favor and try out their signature bao buns for yourself. However, do note that they tend to disappear from the table rather quickly, so brace yourself for round two.

You can find Yangtze Qú at New Cairo’s The Nox Mall.

Lest history repeat itself

👂Just a few cautionary tales lest history repeat itself. In Tim Harford’s podcast, CautionaryTales, the English economic journalist delivers an engaging audio experience that fuses storytelling with history and social sciences. He delves deep into the archives of human failures; from economic disasters to catastrophic decisions. The objective? Teach listeners a lesson. By dissecting past failures, Harford hopes to help new generations avoid new ones.

The podcast doesn’t just recite historical facts, it dissects them through an analytical lens. Such has become synonymous with Harford’s work as witnessed on the popular BBC podcast More or Less, and through his writing on The Financial Times. In Cautionary Tales, Harford ups his game. Each episode is more of an audio play than a traditional podcast; think dramatic sound effects and expert narration. With Cautionary Tales, it’s easy to stay engaged — and trust us, you’ll want to. Dramatics aside, the podcast draws from academic studies and myriad scientific theories, so not only are you entertained, you’re educated.

In one particular episode, Harford dissects Chicago’s 2008 agreement to lease its parking meters to a private investment group for 75 years. The city was in a financial crisis, and its officials resorted to a solution that was quick, yet proved to be very costly and myopic. Harford then explains the psychology behind decision-making, and how short-term thinking, time constraints, and lack of transparency led to a flawed decision. The case is then contrasted with other public-private partnerships that went awry.

It’s storytelling meets intellectual depth — and we love it. Through both thorough research and engaging storytelling, Harford hits a home run. The show invites listeners to think critically and reflect on the past — pivotal advice if we don’t want history to repeat itself.
