It includes restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, and international companies, making it a commercial and entertainment destination serving the entire region. In concluding his speech, Ashraf Adel, the company's general manager, expressed his thanks and appreciation to Engineer Khaled Abbas for his prominent and tangible role in the renaissance and growth of private sector projects in the capital. This is a natural result of his continuous follow-up and constant efforts to overcome any obstacles facing companies in completing their work. He praised his ongoing support for the company and for every serious developer working in the capital. He emphasized the company's continued construction and development, and its keenness to seize opportunities to implement other projects in the capital, making it an influential and effective partner for the capital in the field of development and growth.

Ahmed Fahmy reveals the real reason behind deleting video with Hana al-Zahed on Facebook
Actor Ahmed Fahmy revealed the reason behind why a video shared on his official Facebook was deleted. The clip was from the movie 'Mr. X,' which brought him together with his ex-wife, actress Hana al-Zahed. In the scene, Fahmy is shown confessing to her that he is 'Mr. X,' with the caption saying 'If this proves to you that I am… Surprise, isn't it?' 'To clarify, the post that was posted on my page and removed was an unintentional mistake by a member of the social media team at the company that manages my account. It was a simple matter and not intentional.' He continued, 'Whatever I want to say, I say it directly, without hints or anything else. All due respect to all my colleagues, and good luck to everyone.' Zahed and Fahmy separated in late 2023 after a four-year marriage. Neither party revealed the reason for the split. Zahid has expressed her appreciation for the experience, stating that she had overcome the divorce and was now in a better place. Fahmy, on the other hand, indicated that he was the one who made the decision to separate and that he did not intend to marry again. Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm

Hotel worker who raped female guest and sneaked into rooms to secretly lick feet of women may have had other victims, police fear
A perverted hotel manager who raped woman and sneaked into rooms to secretly lick the feet of sleeping guests may have had other victims, police fear. Ahmed Fahmy carried out a string of sickening sex attacks over the course of 16 years, using his job to gain access to victims as they were at their most vulnerable. The 46-year-old, who worked at hotels and B&B's across London, would creep into the rooms of female guests before caressing and licking their feet as they slept. The Egyptian had attacked one victim after she returned to her room onboard the unique £230-a-night Sunborn Yacht Hotel in London 's Docklands in March 2022. His offending would escalate, with the foot fetishist going on to rape a woman as she stayed at a guest house in Golders Green in January 2024. Police bodycam footage showing the moment he was arrested by police in the lobby of his workplace showed the predator pretending to be shocked by simply looking at the floor and saying 'woah'. Despite his attempts at deception he would be convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He was jailed for 13 years this week. Police, however, fear there are many other victims - including those who were visiting the UK from abroad - who are yet to come forward. Fahmy began his spree when he sexually assaulted a woman at a hotel in Wembley, North West London, in 2008. He massaged her feet, grabbed her and tried to kiss her. Fahmy assaulted a second woman at the four-star Sunborn Yacht Hotel in Royal Victoria Dock on March 31, 2022. At his trial at Harrow Crown Court last July, prosecutor Soma Varapu revealed: 'While she was intoxicated he entered a room with her and sexually assaulted her. He sucked her toe.' The twisted night manager was finally caught in January 2024 when he targeted a group of young female tourists staying at the Anchor Guest Hotel in Golders Green, North London. When three of the women returned to the hotel in the early hours of January 20 without their room key, Fahmy demanded one of them withdraw £80 from a nearby cashpoint for a different room. They complied and later went to bed, however one of the women later awoke to Fahmy inside her room, licking her feet. She pushed him off and told him to leave and he returned to his duty at the front desk. But two more of the group later returned from their night out having also misplaced their room key. Instead of offering them a new room, Fahmy coerced one of the women into sharing his room, where he raped her. During the investigation detectives uncovered and linked him to two other non-recent sexual assaults, which largely centred on Fahmy touching women's feet. The offences took place in a hotel on Western Gateway in East London, and at a residential address in Alliance Close, Wembley. The victims were in their 40s and 30s respectively. Matthew Dalton, prosecuting, said the 'case was that the defendant has exploited his position working at two hotels to indulge his foot fetish' by sexually assaulting victims and later abused his position by raping a hotel guest. Ged O'Connor, defending, said Fahmy has spent his time in custody 'very fruitfully' and has got 'trusted status'. Fahmy appeared today via video link from HMP Wormwood Scrubs and was sentenced to ten years in prison, with an extension period of three years. An extended sentence consists of a custodial term which reflects the seriousness of the offending followed by an extended licence period, according to the Crown Prosecution Service. Judge John Lodge told the defendant he will be made subject to a sexual harm prevention order, and said he has already registered as a sex offender which will last for the rest of his life. He said he came to a finding the defendant is 'someone who is dangerous', adding: 'I come to that finding taking into account the number of offences, their circumstances and the fact that you have been able to manipulate your employment position in order to commit these offences.' The judge added: 'You were in circumstances where you could see vulnerable people, often vulnerable because they had come to London to enjoy themselves, had taken drink, and you took advantage. 'I'm fully satisfied that you are a dangerous offender.' Today the Metropolitan Police appealed for any other potential victims to come forward and are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have met Fahmy while he was working at various hotels across London. The force believes some of the victims were visiting London from abroad. Speaking after sentencing, Detective Constable James Gomm said: 'Fahmy used manipulation to abuse his position as a hotel worker and get close to his victims. 'He demonstrated a clear pattern of offending and abuse. 'I would also like to commend the victim-survivors who have shared their experience to date for the bravery they have shown throughout the investigation and the court proceedings.' 'We believe there may be other victims and I would encourage anyone affected to get in contact with us – you will be listened to and receive specialist support and guidance, not only from the police but independent charities and services. ' Fahmy of Hampstead, North West London, worked in at least four hotels across the city and one in the centre of Marlow in Buckinghamshire. He pleaded not guilty to one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault but was convicted of all charges at Harrow Crown Court, sitting at Hendon Magistrates' Court, on July 25 last year.

EXCLUSIVE Moment hotel manager who raped woman and crept into rooms to sexually assault guests is arrested - as police launch appeal to find more victims
This is the moment a hotel manager with a foot fetish who sucked a drunken guest's toe on a £230-a-night superyacht is arrested for raping a guest. Wearing a burgundy-coloured hoodie, Ahmed Fahmy, 46, pretends to be shocked when confronted by the police officer and looks to the floor briefly before saying 'woah'. In reality, he was a serial pervert with a string of victims stretching back at least 16 years. The Egyptian's modus operandi was to creep into women's rooms and caress and lick their feet while they slept. One victim was attacked in her room onboard the unique Sunborn Yacht Hotel in London 's Docklands in March 2022.
