How to Spend an Egyptian Day in Dubai
From foul to pharaohs, this is how to experience Egypt in Dubai. Apr 08, 2025 Craving a bit of home while you're in the land of brunches and beach clubs? Whether it's the crispy bite of a proper ta'ameya, the warm chaos of a perfectly layered koshari, or a boutique that knows how to say ya gameel in handbag form, Dubai has plenty of ways to channel the spirit of Egypt. From hidden foodie gems to cultural hotspots, nostalgic tunes to a touch of pharaonic grandeur, here's your ultimate guide to spending a day in Dubai—Egyptian style. 9 AM – Ta'ameya Time at Hadoota Masreya Start your day the right way: deep-fried, carb-loaded, and unapologetically Egyptian. Hadoota Masreya nails the Cairo breakfast vibe with crispy ta'ameya, smoky foul, and piping hot baladi bread. The decor? Think vintage Egypt with just enough flair to make you forget you're on Al Wasl Road. 11 AM – Fashion Fix at Okhtein Egyptian design, but make it high fashion. Okhtein brings serious style cred with statement bags and accessories crafted by skilled artisans back home. Founded by Egyptian sisters Aya and Mounaz Abdelraouf, the brand is all about heritage meets now. Walk in curious, walk out couture. 1 PM – Lunch at Cairo Gourmet 📍Al Safa Yes, you can get koshari in Dubai—and it's legit. Cairo Gourmet is a low-key gem serving up all the hits: molokhia, grilled meats, and a lentil-laced koshari that hits the nostalgia spot hard. Bonus points for the traditional vibes and decor that feels straight out of Garden City. 3:30 PM – Souvenir Stop: Global Village (Seasonal) 📍Global Village, Dubailand (check seasonal hours) If you're visiting during shopping season, hit the Egypt pavilion at Global Village for handwoven rugs, silver jewelry, and more 'made back home' goods than your suitcase can probably handle. It's touristy—but in the best way. 5 PM – Seafood à la Alexandria at Sardina 📍Jumeirah Sardina brings the Alexandrian fish house experience to Dubai—grilled seafood, psaria salads, and that unmistakable Mediterranean simplicity. No frills, just flavor. 7 PM – Chill Time at Al Sukaria Café 📍Dubai Marina Grab a table, order some mint tea, and sink into a shisha session at Al Sukaria. This Marina café channels downtown Cairo energy with mezze, music, and a steady flow of nostalgia. Bonus: the people-watching is top-tier. 8:30 PM – Pharaohcore at Wafi City 📍Oud Metha You've never truly experienced themed real estate until you've wandered through Wafi City. Giant sphinxes? Check. Pyramid-shaped windows? Also check. It's kitsch, it's dramatic, it's everything. Don't skip Khan Murjan Souk downstairs—less mall, more medieval marketplace.

NMSS' Move for MS campaign uses Snap AR to shed light on multiple sclerosis
In line with MS Awareness Month, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) in collaboration with Snap, has launched its Move for MS campaign, which includes an interactive step challenge powered by the Snap Camera. Coupled with the launch of Snap's step counter augmented reality (AR) experience in the region, the initiative encourages people across the UAE to learn important facts about multiple sclerosis (MS), and explore how they can get involved and support the MS community by taking part in a competitive walking challenge. The Lens encourages Snapchatters to complete a step challenge, unlocking key facts about MS at each milestone around symptoms, its prevalence in the UAE, and the importance of early diagnosis. To enhance participation, the Lens also links back to a leaderboard feature, which highlights users who complete the highest number of steps, introducing an element of friendly competition. More than just education, the campaign sets out to build a conversation around multiple sclerosis, encouraging Snapchatters to share with friends and family to expand their reach and make a real difference. Maral Alexandrian, Acting Executive Director at NMSS, said, 'True impact is never achieved alone, it takes collaboration, innovation and a shared commitment to change. At NMSS, we recognise that awareness is a crucial first step, we are excited to partner with platforms like Snapchat that allow us to reach a younger, digitally connected audience in engaging and immersive ways.' 'By combining our mission with their technology, we aim to raise awareness about MS, foster empathy, and inspire action. This partnership exemplifies how innovation and purpose can unite to drive social change, ensuring that more people understand MS and feel motivated to support those affected by it,' Alexandrian said. Multiple sclerosis awareness Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable condition of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information between the brain and spinal cord. The exact cause of MS remains unknown, and symptoms vary widely from person to person, making early diagnosis and awareness essential. With the prevalence of MS rising in the Middle East, the UAE has transitioned into a moderately high-risk zone, underscoring the increased need for awareness and education. As part of the NMSS Move for MS campaign – an initiative designed to inspire movement as a way to raise awareness for MS – this collaboration leveraged Snapchat's reach in the region, where users visit the platform an average of 45 times per day, ensuring enhanced awareness to a highly connected audience. Hussein Freijeh, Vice President of Snap Inc. in MENA, said, 'We believe technology has the power to drive positive change, and we are proud to partner with NMSS to raise awareness for such an important cause.' 'Snapchat is a place where people come to share moments with those they care about most and now, we're extending that sense of closeness to include the causes they care about too. By using AR in an interactive and engaging way, we're not just educating the community about MS; we're empowering them to take action. This partnership reinforces our commitment to leveraging innovation for meaningful impact, and we look forward to driving positive change, one step at a time,' Freijeh added. Snap's Step Counter Lens operates without GPS tracking, offering a private, movement-based experience. Combining Snap's latest Leaderboard feature, the Lens will allow Snapchatters to enhance their journey and share their progress, spreading more awareness in the process. The initiative is powered by Snap's AR technology, which has evolved since it first arrived on the platform, transitioning from fun, playful lenses to a powerful tool that creates real impact. Now, more than 80 per cent of Snap's users in the UAE interact with AR Lenses daily, and the platform has indicated that it is on a mission to further use the technology to drive positive social impact.
