Actress Hala Shiha announces podcast, reappears wearing hijab
Actress Hala Shiha has resurfaced on her Instagram account wearing the hijab once more, sharing the new snapshots with her followers accompanied by a verse from the Quran: 'Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.'
She announced her plans to launch a new podcast after Ramadan, explaining that it will be a platform to share her personal experience, saying: 'God willing, after Ramadan, I will do a podcast to talk about my experience, because it is definitely similar to many people's experiences.'
Shiha did not reveal more details about the content of her upcoming podcast, but hinted that it will address milestones from her life and her personal experiences.
Her followers expressed their enthusiasm to learn more about her recent journey.
Shiha, a prominent actress in the early 2000s, decided to retire from acting in 2005.
This decision was largely attributed to her increased religious devotion and her choice to wear the niqab (face veil).
During this period, she focused on her family life and religious studies, keeping out of the public eye.
In 2019, she officially announced that she will co-star alongside famous actor Mohamed Ramadan in the Ramadan TV series 'Zalzal' (Earthquake).
Following her return, Shiha's public persona continued to evolve.
She would sometimes appear wearing the hijab, and other times without it. Her relationship with the entertainment industry has remained dynamic, with periods of activity and periods of relative quiet.
Shiha is known for her roles with comedian legend Adel Emam in 'Arees Men Geha Amneya' (Groom from the Security Forces), and with the late singer and actor Amer Monib in 'Kamel Al Awsaf' (The Perfect One), in addition to her significant lead role in the film 'Al Selem Wal Thoaban' (The Snake and The Ladder) film, among others.

Where to Find the Best Nubian Food in Egypt
Nubian food is an overlooked power move that's been sitting patiently while the rest of Egypt argues about pistachio kunafa. May 30, 2025 Nubian food is the kind of cuisine that quietly pulls you in. It's the slow-cooked stews, the smoky grilled meats, the warm spices, and dishes that taste like they've been passed through generations without ever needing a recipe card. But here's the thing: you don't stumble onto Nubian food, you're usually invited into it, whether by a friend, a road trip, or the smell of something rich and tomato-y coming out of a tiny kitchen by the Nile. And yet, for a cuisine with such depth, it's still surprisingly under the radar. You won't find it dominating Instagram feeds or plastered across delivery apps; but when you do find it? You remember it. So, we did what had to be done: we tracked down the Nubian restaurants, homes, cafés, and street spots that are keeping these flavors alive, and serving them with all the pride, patience, and pepper they deserve. Whether you're craving something new, nostalgic, or just deeply well-seasoned, these are the places to start. Nubian Village Restaurant Hilton Grand Nile Tower, Nile Corniche Tucked inside a fancy hotel but still serving food like it came out of someone's actual home kitchen. You might enter through marble, but inside it is full Nubian vibes. It's colorful, cozy, and deeply comforting. Solaih Nubian Restaurant Only reachable by boat, which somehow makes the food taste even more serious. You'll eat like royalty, surrounded by peace, palm trees, and zero city noise. Kato Dool Resort Nag' Gharb Siheil St., Aswan Nubian food hits different when it comes with Nile views and technicolor houses, and that's a fact. Lucky for us, Kato Dool resort serves home-style Nubian dishes and delivers on the scenery. Nuba House 42 Anwar Al-Mofti St., Nasr City A cozy Cairo spot that feels like it traveled straight from Aswan. The service is warm, the portions are generous, and yes, your hands will smell like cumin. WiNji Cafe & Restaurant Al Multaqa Mall, Alexandria A cheerful spot that feels more like a living room than a restaurant, complete with live music and clapping along you didn't plan for. The food's homey, the vibes are warm, and at some point you'll find yourself smiling mid-bite. Nubian Cafe & Restaurant Located somewhere between 'we're almost there' and 'we took the wrong exit,' this spot is a true roadside blessing. The food hits different when you've earned it via GPS mishap. Nubian Sky Restaurant This is what you eat after a long beach day when you've had enough seafood. Hearty, flavorful, and guaranteed to make you unbutton something. El Dokka Restaurant You take a boat, you eat like a local, and then you sit for way longer than planned. It's part restaurant, part day trip, and 100% worth it.

Cassie, Husband Alex Fine Welcome Baby No. 3
Yara Sameh Cassie Ventura welcomed her third baby, a boy, with husband Alex Fine. The news comes after a source confirmed with PEOPLE that the singer, 38, was taken to a New York City hospital's labour and delivery unit. The newly minted mom of three first announced in a February 19 Instagram post that she was expecting her third baby with her husband. '🤰🏽💙 #3,' Cassie wrote in the caption alongside black-and-white photos of her debuting her baby bump while joined by Fine, 31, and their two daughters Sunny, 3, and Frankie, 5. In the first image shared, Cassie revealed her baby bump as she sat on the back of a couch wearing an open shirt over a crop top and jeans. Her girls, Sunny and Frankie, sat in front of her smiling and wearing matching dresses. Cassie also appeared with her baby bump in a following close-up shot as Fine's hands cradled her stomach. Other photos included in the post showed the expectant star sitting next to Fine as they posed with their girls, as well as Frankie and Sunny kissing her baby bump. Fine posted the same sweet photo on his platform as he wrote in the caption, 'Best gift I could ask for,' tagging photographer Jorden Keith. Fine, who tied the knot with Ventura in 2019, commented a series of heart emojis underneath the post. The personal trainer also posted a gif of the rapper Cardi B with the caption, 'Bro, I'm five months pregnant! I can't even breathe,' possibly indicating how far along Cassie was in her pregnancy at the time. The new addition to her family comes just weeks after the "Miss Your Touch" singer completed her four-day emotional testimony in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal criminal trial. The Bad Boy Records founder is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, and has pleaded not guilty. Ventura, a key witness for the prosecution, made several bombshell accusations, including an allegation that Combs raped her in 2018. Combs and Ventura were in a relationship for 11 years. During that time, she testified, she was made to participate in "Freak Offs" with male sex workers. Proving Ventura was coerced into participating was key for prosecutors trying to land a conviction on the charge of sex trafficking. Ventura, who was 8½ months pregnant during her testimony, also said Combs abused her and exerted immense control over her personal life. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
