giant Magrabi Retail will acquire 51% of homegrown optical group Baraka Optics<\/strong>, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/703353.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a joint statement (pdf)<\/a>. The transaction will bring together two of the country\u2019s biggest eyewear family businesses under a single corporate umbrella, with roughly 50 stores nationwide, Baraka Optics Chairman and CEO Ahmed Ragab tells EnterpriseAM. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Baraka Optics Group will be integrated into Magrabi Retail after the transaction is closed. <\/strong>Magrabi \u2014 based in Dubai despite launching in Cairo in 1927 \u2014 will take over day-to-day management, while Baraka Optics Group\u2019s current shareholders will retain board representation and strategic involvement, according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next? <\/strong>Ragab will step down as CEO but keep his role as chairman, as Baraka retains two of the board\u2019s five seats, while day-to-day operational control transitions fully to Magrabi\u2019s platform under Magrabi CEO Yasser Taher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>No one is exiting the business.<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re very clear that we don\u2019t want a full exit because we\u2019re not liquefying our investments; we\u2019re creating something \u2026 we\u2019re growing more,\u201d Ragab tells us. \u201cWe had the option to sell 100%, but we refused [because] we see the upside and the potential [of this partnership],\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The agreement includes structured put-and-call options mapped out for 2028 and 2030 to give the family ultimate optionality if Magrabi decides to track toward a regional IPO.<\/strong> If a public listing occurs within the next three years, Baraka's 49% stake will be swapped up to the regional holding company level in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Maximizing valuation?<\/strong> The move follows Magrabi\u2019s merger <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2024\/09\/25\/magrabi-and-rivoli-vision-merge-for-regional-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with Dubai-based Rivoli Vision<\/a> in September 2024 and its acquisition of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/05\/20\/magrabi-to-take-over-kuwaits-kefan-optics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kuwait\u2019s Kefan Optics<\/a> in May of last year, confirming a strategy to consolidate the company\u2019s position regionally ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agbi.com\/retail\/2022\/07\/vision-giant-magrabi-eyes-ipo-and-global-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a potential IPO<\/a>, while also keeping their brand name. Magrabi currently operates over 350 stores across the GCC and Egypt, with Saudi Arabia as its biggest market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Overlapping stores will stay open. <\/strong>Ragab said the combined entity doesn\u2019t plan on shutting down any locations despite significant overlap in high-end regional malls like Mall of Egypt, Cairo Festival City, and Mall of Arabia. \u201cWe saw this combination as complementary\u2026 rather than clashing,\u201d Ragab tells us, noting that they will continue to expand operations and open more stores together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Operational logic beats optics: <\/strong>Don\u2019t expect to see Baraka-branded stores popping up across the GCC anytime soon just for the sake of global optics. \u201cWhatever makes sense commercially, we'll do,\u201d Ragab says. \u201cI don't have this ego that I want to open anything outside [of Egypt].\u201d Instead, the immediate runway will prioritize growth here at home. \u201cWith this new structure, what would have been reached in 10 years can be reached in two,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The perimeters of the play only cover optics: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/baraka-group.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baraka<\/a> runs a total of 24 stores across segments (including Baraka-branded stores, C&amp;CO and People), while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magrabi.com\/eg-en\/?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=21273150620&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAC_bIVNJmVV_vXfIMv_uPsRkdPMq3&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw-8vPBhBbEiwAoA39Wjj0RijzPjgZQ-niI0q-mjX60tyNGVofkC0qHAFxvvNeyNpGj5-T6BoC0nEQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magrabi<\/a> operates around 30 stores across the country, Ragab tells us. Baraka's budget mono-brand concept, JooJ, which Ragab freely admits is a model that \u201cdoesn't work in the eyewear [sector],\u201d is excluded from the agreement. Baraka\u2019s broader retail fashion and F&amp;B portfolio is also excluded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">\n<strong>The move is still subject to customary regulatory approvals<\/strong>, including Egypt\u2019s competition watchdog. \u201cThere is a very thin line between competition and cooperation, and this is what the market needs,\u201d Ragab says.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/lifestyle\/\">lifestyle<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ma\/\">M&amp;A<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/ma-watch\/\">M&amp;A Watch<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/retail\/\">retail<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"703371 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"703371\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/05\/18\/703371\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-703371\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-703371 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mashreq.com\/en\/egypt\/private\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/5\/1134.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"703372\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"703372\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ON THE TUBE TONIGHT<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/05\/18\/primes-newest-psychological-thriller-56-days-is-a-heady-mix-of-mystery-and-passion\/\">\r\n                            56 Days mingles romance and intrigue in a must-watch limited series                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/05\/18\/primes-newest-psychological-thriller-56-days-is-a-heady-mix-of-mystery-and-passion\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The eight-episode psychological thriller lured us in with its fast-burning romance, but it quickly morphed into something much darker, messier, and infinitely more addictive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The plot:<\/strong> The series follows two intertwined timelines: in the present day, detectives Lee Reardon (Karla Souza) and Karl Connolly (Dorian Crossmond Missick) investigate a body discovered inside Oliver Kennedy\u2019s (Avan Jogia) luxury apartment. Meanwhile, the story rewinds through the previous 55 days, unpacking Oliver and Ciara Wyse\u2019s (Dove Cameron) whirlwind romance one layer at a time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What initially feels like a glossy romantic thriller slowly unravels into a web of false identities, manipulation, trauma, and moral ambiguity.<\/strong> Every character seems to be hiding something, and the show weaponizes that uncertainty brilliantly. One minute you\u2019re rooting for Oliver and Ciara, the next you\u2019re side-eyeing both of them, wondering who\u2019s manipulating whom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What we liked: <\/strong>56 Days absolutely thrives on tension. The series keeps its foot firmly on the gas pedal, ending nearly every episode with some sort of reveal designed to send you spiraling into the next one immediately. We came for the sizzling romance but stayed for the ingenious plotting, compelling characters, and genuinely unpredictable twists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Former Disney darling Dove Cameron and Nickelodeon alum Avan Jogia deliver performances far more nuanced than you might expect. <\/strong>Their chemistry feels believable enough to sell the romance, but unsettling enough to keep you suspicious. We also loved the dynamic between Detectives Reardon and Connolly, whose investigation added another layer of intrigue to the story and balanced out the romance-thriller chaos nicely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The downside: <\/strong>The constant time jumps can occasionally become a little disorienting, especially during the middle of the season. Some supporting characters also seem to quietly disappear without much closure, leaving certain storylines feeling unfinished. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our verdict:<\/strong> Twisty, addictive, and impossible to binge \u201ccasually,\u201d 56 Days had us at the edge of our seats. Just when we thought we had the characters figured out, another reveal pulled the rug out from under us.

in the Premier League<\/strong>, we\u2019ll be watching as Arsenal plays host to Burnley at London\u2019s Emirates Stadium tonight in a pivotal Matchweek 37 clash, with kick-off slated for 10pm on beIN Sports 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re in the final home stretch of the season<\/strong>, and The Gunners (79 points) are currently in the lead, trailed by Manchester City (77 points). 19th-placed Burnley is effectively out of the running, and the match is pretty much a certain victory for Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Should The Gunners secure a victory tonight<\/strong> \u2014 and should The Cityzens stumble against Bournemouth tomorrow \u2014 they\u2019ll clinch the league title that has eluded them since 2004, eliminating the need to secure all three points in their season finale against Crystal Palace on Sunday, 24 May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p

<\/strong>Kahraba Ismailia goes head-to-head with Haras El Hodoud (ON Sport Max), while Tala\u2019ea El Gaish faces Pharco (ON Sport) \u2014 kick-off for both matches is at 5pm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Later tonight<\/strong>, Al Mokawloon Al Arab hosts Wadi Degla (ON Sport Max), and Ghazl El Mahalla takes on Al
