May 04, 2025
Tulum's iconic Zamna Festival has recently announced the full lineup for its Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour takeover on May 9th.
Since its launch in Mexico's Riviera Maya in 2017, Zamna has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon with its immersive experiences, high-energy lineups, and atmospheric stage design. The mini-festival has hosted pop-up events in over a dozen cities worldwide, from Ibiza and Miami to New York, São Paulo, and Malta. It also made its Egypt debut earlier last April at the Great Pyramids of Giza.
The festival is now taking over Ushuaïa Dubai with a powerhouse lineup of electronic acts, featuring Italian techno wizards Agents of Time, Germany's own Ben Böhmer, West Africa-born DJ and producer AMÉMÉ, Afrohouse maestro DJ Joezi, and Zamna Soundsystem.
Tickets are now available via Platinumlist's official website, starting from AED 250.

SPOTLIGHT: Saudi Bags Label Dania Shinkar Delivers Playful Luxury
Dania Shinkar's bags don't just hold your essentials - they also hold attention. The Brand Sculptural, playful, and precise, Dania Shinkar's bags sit somewhere between accessory and object. With Saudi roots, Italian production, and an Irish HQ, the label is geographically unbound - but its identity is distinct. The Design Language Bold curves, clever details, and a measured dose of drama define the collection. The Mini Gaga and Mila bags, with their spherical handles, could easily pass as modern sculpture. The Dana bag plays with perspective, using a double-frame illusion to trick the eye - a quiet design sleight of hand that happens to be Shinkar's personal favourite. The Mila, slouchy and jewelled, has all the presence of a protagonist. Dania Shinkar in Three Words 'Contemporary, nostalgic, and sustainable,' says Dania Shinkar, founder and creative director. The Founder Shinkar holds both a BA and MA from the London College of Fashion. Her interest in design was sparked early, watching her mother dress for special occasions. 'I was fascinated by how she paired her accessories and curated every detail of her look,' she says. That early instinct matured into a design philosophy rooted in experimentation. 'There are no rules in fashion' is the lesson she carried from London, and it shows. Her work leans into texture, form, and silhouette - unafraid of unexpected embellishments or vintage references. The Muse Saudi culture is central to Shinkar's design lens. She draws inspiration from Jeddah's Al Balad district, the coral reefs of the Red Sea, and antique jewellery. 'Architecture informs my shapes, while art influences my use of colour,' she tells SceneStyled. Her bags may echo heritage, but their execution is unmistakably contemporary - thanks to the precision of Italian artisans, whom she calls the 'undisputed masters of leather goods.' 'I love revisiting classic silhouettes and giving them new context,' she adds. Her reimaginings of the '90s baguette and hobo bag offer a quiet nod to nostalgia, made current through detail and structure. The Craft Shinkar's work is detail-driven, right down to her choice of materials. She combines silky satin and structured Italian leather with crystal embellishments and vintage-inspired hardware. Everything is intentional: the curved handles, the metal closures, the colour palette that moves from caramel neutrals to pastel blush to deep, metallic red. Even her sustainability practices feel specific. She uses ethically sourced leather and eco-conscious acetate, repurposing leftover scraps into sleek cardholders. The Process 'Playful luxury' is how she frames her work - serious craftsmanship with room for joy. Ideas come quickly. 'Sometimes I see a design so clearly, I have to sketch it on the spot,' she says. From there, it's about refining proportions, prototyping with 3D paper models, and iterating until the final product holds. 'I'm always thinking about the person who'll carry it - how it feels in their hands, how it fits into their life.' If she had to imagine her bags on anyone, it would be Carrie Bradshaw. And if you're styling one? 'Let the bag lead,' she says. Whether worn against head-to-toe neutrals or thrown over something oversized and undone, the goal is to give it room to speak. The Verdict Dania Shinkar's bags don't shout - but they don't need to. With a language of their own, they balance nostalgia and modernity, fun and form. They look just as at home at a gallery opening as they do on a brunch banquette - or simply sitting still on a side table, catching the light.

Eid Al-Adha at Four Seasons Nile Plaza
Eid Al-Adha at Four Seasons Nile Plaza This Eid, unwind at Four Seasons Nile Plaza with redesigned rooms, three serene pools, and a diverse dining lineup -from Egyptian classics to riverside Italian to Cairo's most stylish late-night spot. By the time the sun hits the terrace on the fifth floor of Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza, there's a steady rhythm to the day: the sound of water shifting in the pools, families reading under umbrellas, the faint clink of cutlery from the tables just beyond the loungers. This is not the Cairo most people expect. This Eid Al-Adha, the hotel is inviting guests to experience the city from a different vantage point—where the mood is lighter, the pace slower, and the moments more deliberate. The Fifth Floor Is the Pulse The hotel's elevated terrace is more than an amenity—it's where the stay unfolds. Three outdoor pools are spaced across a landscaped deck, surrounded by wide loungers, soft greenery, and the kind of layout that actually gives guests room to breathe. If you're booked into a Pool Terrace Room or Suite, you step out directly onto the space—no elevators, no detours. You wake up, slide open the door, and the day begins. Rooms That Get the Balance Right The newly redesigned Premium Rooms and Suites have been updated with a soft, contemporary touch. Designed by PYR, the interiors feel fresh but not over-styled: clean lines, neutral tones, natural materials. There are Egyptian coffee table books, small art pieces that don't try too hard, and terraces that face either the Nile or the city skyline. The atmosphere is calm, but not minimal—more edited than stripped back. Dining That Anchors the Stay Food is central during Eid, and the hotel has range. Zitouni, the all-day Egyptian restaurant, hosts an expansive Eid buffet for the first five days of the holiday. Dishes are rooted in tradition - fatta, lamb with freekeh, house-made sweets - served in a space that feels festive without being overdone. If you're after something lighter, Riviera offers Italian coastal cuisine built for summer: fresh seafood, handmade pastas, bright vegetables, and desserts that land gently. It's ideal for a late lunch or a dinner timed to catch the light shift over the river. At Byblos, the Lebanese restaurant, the mezze is authentic, the grill delivers, and the poolside setting is lively in all the right ways. For something with more edge, Bullona holds its place as Cairo's most styled-up nightspot. It's where seafood dishes meet strong cocktails and live DJ sets, and where the room is half locals, half guests who know their way around a late night. A Spa Built for Pause Tucked just off the pool terrace, the spa operates at a lower frequency. No forced serenity, no over-fragranced hallways - just a menu of solid, effective treatments and the option to book a couples' experience built for the holiday. Whether you go for a massage, a facial, or just the quiet, the space delivers on what it's there to do. Cairo, Looser Around the Edges Outside the hotel, the city feels wide open during Eid. There are felucca rides on the Nile at sunset, pop-ups in Zamalek, art shows still running in Garden City, and souks that stay lively long into the night. And on the horizon, the much-anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum is expected to open its doors - housing the full Tutankhamun collection and shifting the cultural centre of gravity just slightly westward. An Eid That Lingers The Stay Longer – Fourth Night Free offer gives guests space to take their time. The pace here doesn't press. The service holds quietly. Whether you're visiting for the long weekend or turning it into a full week, the hotel gives you the stretch you need—and the quiet to enjoy it.
