Safety road

Safety road Sikkat Al-Salama (The Road to Safety), by the famous Egyptian playwright Saadeddin Wahba, is about a group of travellers headed to Sharm El-Sheikh who lose their way in the desert. As they face the looming spectre of death, the characters are forced to reexamine their lives – which are not without failings and even scandal, in some cases – and search for a path to redemption both in this life and the next. In Egyptian culture, a character who reaches such an existential dilemma is said to face one of three choices: the road to safety, the road to regret, and the road to no return. This general motif of fateful roads acquires new meaning in the context of the perilous events that have swept the region in the relatively short timeframe since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 to the Israeli air and Mossad assault against Iran on 13 June 2025, dramatically culminating in the joint US-Israel strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. All this has brought the region to that critical juncture in the gruelling desert, where the choices are between the lesser of two evils and where humankind risks regressing further into an animalistic state of murder and destruction fed by hunger, hatred, and vengeance. The current moment in the Middle East conflict – characterised by the ceasefire in the Iranian-Israeli war and another stab at halting the fifth Gaza war – forces us to ask: what next? In Egyptian thought, the 'safe road' has never meant surrender. Rather, it denotes a confrontation with the self, a process of introspection and self-discovery. But it also entails dialogue with others and a collective search for a way to coexist as we find our way out of the desert in which we are deprived of shade, water, and food. But the safe road could become a road of regret if we placed our hopes in mystical forces that everyone imagines differently in a desert full of mirages. This danger is compounded by the tendency to depend on the sudden emergence of the saviour, which may only happen after the soul has departed the body. In the Arab region, the US is often perceived as both mystical force and saviour. Often overlooked is the fact that the US has its own interests, which it prioritises. On top of those are the personal interests and ambitions of its president, whether on the global stage or domestically, especially with the Congressional midterms coming up and, not long afterwards, the presidential elections, should he succeed in having the US Constitution amended in favour of his dream of another term. The road to safety will not present itself to us through waiting. As I have frequently stressed in this space and elsewhere, it is the road taken by relying on ourselves. By 'ourselves' here, I mean sovereign Arab states free of militias and civil wars and firm in their commitment to the modern nation-state model based on the equality of all citizens, male or female, Arab or non-Arab. These states believe in reform, participation, modernity and progress, and they are aware that time is not on their side, as other countries and regions are far ahead of us on the road to progress. History has shown that major disasters have often opened horizons to better futures. World War II – the deadliest conflict in human history and the first to involve the use of nuclear weapons – led to the founding of the United Nations, NATO, the pacification of Japan, and the creation of the European Union, as well as to more than three-quarters of a century of peace and prosperity in Europe and the Far East. Likewise, the Vietnam War, which engulfed Laos and Cambodia in the late 1960s, ultimately led to peace in Southeast Asia and the establishment of ASEAN – the Association of Southeast Asian Nations – now home to the world's fastest-growing economies. The two-state solution to which we aspire requires three levels of reform. The first is within the Palestinian political order to become a Palestinian state, in which arms are aligned with the political authority, the people with the leadership, and religion with both state and society. The second is within Israel, where integration into the region and the recognition that its Hebraic and Jewish roots are part of this region's larger history must replace that state's hegemonic ambitions and mentality. The third is at the regional level, focused on ordering it in a way that prioritises progress on a bedrock of regional security and the promotion of the values of brotherhood and tolerance.

Egypt's Al Camileon & Kangaroo Make Fashion Personal This Summer

Al Camileon asks you to make their newest collection completely your own. Aug 03, 2025 To celebrate the launch of their new denim collection, Egyptian label Al Camileon is collaborating with Egyptian design studio Kangaroo to host (no, not a zoo) a customisation workshop on the former's very collection. 'At Al Camileon, we put emphasis on the exclusivity of our garments,' founder Zeyad El Ghorab tells Scene Styled, 'This workshop with Kangaroo enables the creation of Al Camileon clothing that is 100% exclusive, because it's hand-stitched with each person's personal stamp.' At the workshop, people are invited to stamp, mark, and alter their new Al Camileon denim pieces, making them truly their own. 'The whole point of Kangaroo as a creative studio and experimental lab is to give people who aren't usually creative the chance to get their hands dirty,' tells us Naila Marei, the founder of Kangaroo, 'We believe that every single person benefits from tapping into their creativity. It's like an art class for people who aren't kids anymore.' In that sense, the collaboration between Al Camileon and Kangaroo gives customers a chance to truly meditate on their Al Camileon pieces, rather than just clicking 'Add to cart' and really forgetting about them. This workshop invites slow consumption, thoughtfulness and the chance to really truly spend enough time with a garment to fall in love with it. 'Kangaroo has their own original imprint on things,' continues El Ghorab, they have authentic taste. I just felt like both design houses - which are by nature very different - coming together could create something entirely novel.'

Egyptian Journalist Mohamed Abdel Galil Joins Golden Globe Voting Committee

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has unveiled the updated list of international voting members for the 83rd edition of the Golden Globe Awards, set to take place on January 11, 2026, in Los Angeles. Among this year's newly appointed members is Egyptian journalist and film critic Mohamed Abdel Galil. Abdel Galil joins an international panel of approximately 390 journalists and critics representing nearly 90 countries. Other members from the Arab world include Mohamed Hashem Abdel Salam, Hossam Fahmy, Moataz Keirat, Wael Khairy, and Rami Nawar from Egypt; Chafic Tabbara from Lebanon; Balqees Al-Ansari from Saudi Arabia; and Irfan Rashid and Raffi Boghossian from Iraq. Currently serving as Senior Producer at Asharq News, part of the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), Abdel Galil also contributes to Asharq Bloomberg, where he provides analytical coverage on the entertainment economy — including film, music, and digital streaming platforms. With over two decades of experience, Abdel Galil has worked across leading Arabic media outlets including Al-Qahira, Al-Ghad, Al-Wafd, and Al-Watan (where he headed the Arts & Culture desk for over four years). His contributions have extended to Kalam El-Nas (Lebanon), Al-Qabas (Kuwait), Al-Roeya (UAE), as well as television networks such as Dream TV, Al Mehwar, Rotana, dmc, and Al-Ghad TV. He has also covered major international film festivals, including Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Malmö, Cairo, Red Sea, Amman, and El Gouna. Commenting on his selection, Abdel Galil expressed pride in joining the Golden Globe voting committee, describing the role as both a responsibility and an opportunity: 'I consider this nomination a chance to represent the Arab perspective in evaluating global cinematic and television productions — showcasing the richness of diverse tastes and cultural backgrounds.' His appointment aligns with HFPA's broader efforts to promote inclusivity, cultural diversity, and transparency in the voting process. Established in 1944, the Golden Globe Awards remain among the most prestigious honors in film and television. Presented annually by the HFPA, the awards serve as a key indicator during the international awards season and are widely regarded as a prelude to the Academy Awards. Abdel Galil's inclusion marks another milestone for Arab representation on the global entertainment stage and highlights the growing influence of regional voices in shaping international narratives in film and television.
