Donia Wael Debuts All-Girl Band in Live Session for Single ‘Ezay'
Donia Wael closes her EP with a lush live session for 'Ezay', performing for the first time with an all-female backing band. Jun 16, 2025 Egyptian singer-songwriter Donia Wael wraps up her emotionally layered EP 'Bifkrny Beek' with a final single and live session titled 'Ezay' - and despite being the end of the record, this release comes with a fresh beginning. For the first time, Donia performs alongside an all-female live band, a move that deepens the intimacy of the song and expands her sonic identity. The session features four rising musicians in Egypt's alternative scene: Maram Elsabbagh (Keys), Randa Shoukry (Electric Guitar), Dalia Abdelaziz (Percussion), and Sama Sherif (Cello). Set in a warmly lit space framed by retro Arabic film posters, the performance balances softness with clarity, matching the arc of Donia's EP: heartbreak, reflection, and quiet strength. 'Ezay' marks a sonic and visual shift, her vocals more assured, her storytelling more grounded. This release follows Donia's recent turns in acting ('Rivo', 'El Harsha El Sabaa') and viral music success ('Bekya', 'El 3asal'), now returning to music with sharpened focus and collaborative spirit.

Where to Take Your Situationship on Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day plans with your situationship? Here's where to keep it casual, but leave a lasting impression. Feb 12, 2025 If you're reading this, congrats—you've officially landed in the murky, gloriously confusing world of a situationship this Valentine's Day. So, do you make plans? Keep it chill with friends? Or brace yourself for a last-minute text that may or may not arrive? Deep breath. No need to spiral, overanalyze, or queue 'Bleeding Love' on repeat. Whether they make a move or you decide to reclaim the night solo, we've got you covered. Here's a curated list of the perfect spots—where you can keep it light, keep it fun, and maybe, just maybe, have a Valentine's Day to remember. Naguib Mahfouz Cafe Khan el Khalili, El Gamaleya. A situationship is all about the in-between, so why not get lost in the winding alleys of Khan El Khalili before settling in at this iconic café? Sip Turkish coffee, share a plate of traditional Egyptian fare, and let the night decide where things go. The Lemon Tree & Co. One Ninety, New Cairo If you're ignoring your friends' advice to keep it casual, this is the place to do it. With its boho-chic charm and lush greenery, it's the perfect setting to turn 'no labels' into something more (and have Donia pass by). Bonus: black truffle sliders make everything feel fancier. Hana Barbeque Mohamed Mazhar St., Zamalek Like your situationship, this place requires participation. Korean BBQ, sizzling meats, and a laid-back vibe—because cooking your own food together is the kind of teamwork that doesn't need defining. Swiss Cottage Restaurant If your situationship is all about comfort, lean into it. A cozy, fondue-filled escape to the Swiss Alps where you can dip, swirl, and pretend that sharing melted cheese doesn't mean anything. Frank & Co. Road 18, Maadi Need a spot with just enough ambiance to keep things interesting, but not enough to spark 'what are we' talks? This expat-favorite gastro-pub is ideal for appetizers, strong drinks, and an easy exit strategy. Brown Nose 5A by the Waterway, New Cairo Coffee dates keep things low-pressure, but the specialty brews here might just have you rethinking that whole 'we're just keeping it casual' thing. At the very least, the caffeine will keep the conversation going. The Greek Club Talaat Harb Square, Downtown Yes, you'll probably run into someone you know—but that's half the fun. A casual run-in means you both get a glimpse of each other's 'situation,' all while enjoying mezze, nostalgia, and Greek music.
