Where to Find the Best Ice Cream in Egypt
An old adage suggests that we all scream for ice cream - we're here to show you which scoops are worth losing your voice over. Ice cream is the jack of all desserts—not loyal to any one vibe, but exceptional at serving them all. It thrives in Michelin-starred tasting menus and gas station freezers. In croissants, on waffles, under hot espresso shots, or next to a side of fries. It speaks every language (gelato, sorbet, soft serve, rolled, mochi), pairs with any mood (euphoric, heartbroken, hungover), and knows when to shut up and melt. There are few things as versatile, as reliable, or as deliciously unserious. So when we're screaming for ice cream - where exactly should we go? Once upon a time in Egypt a man would ride a bike to sell premium ice cream all around town. Now, we drove around ourselves to find the best ice cream for you, from boutique gelato spots to neighbourhood legends… Amorino Branches all over Egypt Ice cream in the shape of a rose. Honestly, do we even need to say more? The flavours are lush and layered, and yes, it does taste as good as it photographs. Sultana Branches all over Egypt If you know, you know — and if you don't, we can't help you. The rebrand gave it a facelift, but the core? Still elite, still creamy, still the OG. A classic that refuses to age. Dolato Branches all over Egypt For those who want ice cream in polite, melt-proof portions. Their bite-sized pops on sticks are perfect for commitment issues or Cairo's sun-induced chaos. A neat little hit of indulgence without the sticky fingers. Stavolta Branches all over Egypt There's a reason Stavolta is everyone's 'this is actually good' ice cream recommendation. Their flavours go from pistachio and mascarpone to mango and milk basbousa, and somehow they nail all of them. Texturally rich, wildly generous, and occasionally too intense (just like us). Dara's Branches all over Egypt At this point, Dara's is a household name, and everyone knows it. Whether it's a scoop drowning in molten chocolate or a cone that defies gravity, they always deliver drama. No intro needed, just bring your inner child and an extra napkin. Tabi 3 Sesostris St., Heliopolis Ever tried fried ice cream? Tabi said you deserve that chaos. It's hot on the outside, cold on the inside, and perfectly gooey Swirkies River Walk Mall, New Cairo | 231 St., Maadi Chimney cake or ice cream? Why not both? This is your solution to indecision — warm, pillowy dough hugging cold creamy scoops. A texture fever dream, and we're here for it. FortyOne Ice Cream Branches all over Egypt You come here for the sundae and stay for the sugar spiral into madness. Their layers are stacked, sauced, and unapologetically extra. Just say you need a little joy and they'll scoop it into a cup. Mandarine Koueidar Branches all over Egypt You thought you came for the basbousa, but the berry yogurt ice cream is the real mic drop. Unexpectedly elite, dangerously underrated. It's giving 'hidden gem your aunt was right about.' Taiyaki Branches all over Egypt Craving black ice cream in a fish-shaped cone? Of course you are. Taiyaki is theatrical, photogenic, and gives you soft serve with a side of 'what even is this but I love it.' Variegato Gelato Palm Hills | New Giza, Sheikh Zayed | Square One Mall, New Cairo This is how gelato should feel. Cold, creamy, quietly confident. The kind of place that doesn't shout, because it doesn't need to. KB Cake Studio Arkan | New Giza, Sheikh Zayed | Garden 8, New Giza You might go for the cakes, but the ice cream will catch you off guard. Velvety, rich, and a little too easy to finish. Honestly, it deserves its own fanbase. Moko Chocolates Branches all over Egypt Made by actual chocolatiers, so you already know their chocolate ice cream is going to hit differently. Dark, deep, and a bit intense. Like a bad habit you don't want to quit. Rigoletto Branches all over Egypt Your childhood ice cream spot is still standing strong, and still tastes like after-school freedom. No frills, no drama, just scoop-and-go joy. The loyalty is generational. Fresco Gelateria 29 El-Ismailia St., Alexandria Alexandrians don't play about their gelato, and this place proves it. No loud branding, just serious flavour and old-school charm. Go once and you'll understand the cult following.

Miley Cyrus just made the LBD feel rock 'n' roll again
When it comes to infusing a dose of cool-girl attitude into high fashion, always delivers. The pop icon recently turned heads at the release party for her new album Something Beautiful, where she brought vintage glamour, rock star flair, and effortless confidenceall wrapped in one deceptively simple outfit. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Opting for quiet sophistication, Miley chose a sleeveless black mini dress by MM6, the avant-garde diffusion line from Maison Margiela. With its clean cut, high neckline, and flattering fit, the dress offered a nod to '60s mod minimalism but with a sultry edge that only Miley can pull off. Think less red carpet drama, more backstage elegance. Rather than reach for towering heels, Miley anchored the look with Maison Margiela's iconic Tabi ballerina flats. The split-toe design lent just enough quirk to the ensemble while still keeping things understated, perfect for an intimate album launch hosted by TikTok at LA's legendary Chateau Marmont. Hair and makeup? Pure Miley. Her signature beachy waves were styled to perfection - loose, voluminous, and tousled with just a hint of rock 'n' roll rebellion. A bronzed glow highlighted her features, while smoky eyeliner and soft nude lips completed the look without overpowering it. In true anti-bling fashion, Miley skipped the obvious statement jewellery. Instead, she let her tattoos shine through, punctuating the minimalist dress with personal meaning and edge. A couple of delicate anklets were her only visible accessories. The mood of the event - vintage furniture, moody lighting, and warm, nostalgic tones - mirrored her outfit's vibe: personal, polished, and just a bit rebellious. Miley didn't just attend the party. She was the vibe.

Meet the Three Cats of Izakaya Akanasu
このページを 日本語 で読む Izakaya Akanasu is just a minute's walk from Ekoda Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line in Nerima, Tokyo. Beyond the sign that says "Cat Izakaya" is a haven for those with a penchant for both cats and drinks. "Our main attraction is definitely the cats," says Chacha, who manages the place and refers to themself as the "cats' servant." The entrance to izakaya Akanasu. Customers are greeted by two male orange tabbies — 14-year-old Chi and 13-year-old Non — and a 13-year-old female calico named Tabi. All three appear comfortable around people and never shy away from being petted. Chi relaxing on a chair. Non (left) and Tabi. In March 2024, Chacha took over from the original owner, who had run Akanasu for 12 years. After a brief closure, the izakaya reopened with a fresh new look — while keeping the cats, of course. New features include a transparent catwalk called "Paw Pad Road," where guests can watch the cats stroll overhead, and "Nyankore Road," a runway-style walkway designed just for them. Tabi sitting on "Nyankore Road." The signature dish here is the "Nyapolitan." It's a fun twist on the Japanese pasta dish Napolitan. "Nya" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for "meow." "Nyapolitan," the izakaya's signature dish. The izakaya offers a variety of dishes including classic izakaya favorites like chilled tofu and Japanese rolled omelet, often made with seasonal ingredients. Chef Eiji Kusaka says proudly, "There aren't many places that combine cats and drinks like this. We put a lot of care into our food, and we hope our customers enjoy both." Chi playing with regular customers. The izakaya draws a diverse crowd, but about 70% are women, many visiting with their partners. Chacha smiles warmly, "Cat lovers are wonderful people. I'm lucky to have such great customers and really enjoy working here." Regular visitor Yusuke Sato, a judicial scrivener who lives nearby, comes two to three times a week. "Sometimes I drink here and then head out elsewhere," he says, "but I always come back because I want to see the cats. The more I visit, the more attached they get to me, and that makes me really happy." Tabi surveys the room from "Nyankore Road." Akanasu is open weekdays from 5 PM to 11 PM, and on weekends and holidays from 2 PM to 11 PM. It's closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Author: Yuta Yasumoto, The Sankei Shimbun このページを 日本語 で読む

Season Three of 'And Just Like That' is almost here, and the first trailer for the new season promises even more stunning shoe moments for Carrie Bradshaw and the rest of the ladies. Max released the trailer on April 15 and in one of the scenes, Carrie, who is played by the beloved Sarah Jessica Parker, is spotted sitting al fresco in what appears to be a New York City garden. While she's typing away on her laptop, dressed casually in a sheer pink dress with a cropped button down on top, a slew of rats run past her and there's a sudden focus at her glamorous shoes. More from Footwear News Sarah Jessica Parker Coordinates With Twin Daughters in Chic Coats & Pumps at 'Smash' Opening Night on Broadway Happy Birthday, Sarah Jessica Parker: A Look at Some of Her Most Stylish Shoe Moments On her feet, Carrie wears a pair of effervescent Maison Margiela's Tabi Monster bow pumps.

Eleven people detained in Turkey as part of investigation into boycott call
ADVERTISEMENT Protests that erupted across Turkey following the arrest of Istanbul's opposition mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu have taken on a new dimension with calls for a one-day shopping boycott. The student groups behind the demand also urged businesses to shutter. The boycott campaign stems from large-scale anti-government protests began last month after the jailing of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu who is regarded as the main political challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's 22-year rule. In late March, Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel called for a boycott of some brands and television channels that are claimed to be close to the government. Soon afterwards came the call to forgo shopping on 2 April. But the day before, the Istanbul Prosecutor's Office announced that it is investigating those behind the boycott calls on charges of "hate and discrimination" and "inciting the public to hatred and hostility". As part of the investigation, a detention warrant was issued for 16 people, 11 of whom have now been detained. Actors Union, the professional organisation of stage, screen, screen and microphone actors, announced on its X account on Thursday that among them is Cem Yiğit Üzümoğlu, the lead actor of the TV series Şakir Paşa Ailesi. "Boycott is a form of protest that can be evaluated within the scope of the Constitution's freedom of expression and dissemination of thought and the right to assembly and demonstration. It is guaranteed by Articles 25, 26 and 34 of the Constitution," Üzümoğlu said in a post on social media. The union issued a statement of solidarity for the actor: "Cem Yiğit Üzümoğlu is not alone". TRT dismisses an actress Meanwhile, the Turkish Radio-Television Corporation (TRT) announced in a statement that Aybüke Pusat, one of the lead actors of the TV series "Teşkilat", has been removed from the cast of the series because of her support for the proposed boycotts. "The posts of an actress who took part in the Teşkilat series broadcast on TRT 1 are never in line with TRT's corporate principles," the statement read. "The person in question was removed from the series due to the shares (of social media posts) that disappointed the viewers of the Teşkilat series." "Although the stock episodes of the series have been filmed, the script of the series will be revised. No one should be in doubt that the necessary steps will be taken for similar situations." A burger shop in Istanbul joins the boycott call and shutters its business for one day / Photo: Wednesday 2 April 2025 Burak Ütücü / Euronews Meanwhile, the show "Rumi", written by screenwriter Ali Aydın, was removed from TRT's digital platform Tabi. Aydın had addressed TRT regarding Aybuke Pusat as follows: "If you ignore the democratic right of the actor in the series Teşkilat and dismiss her with the threat of some hired hands, you will have to remove one of the most watched works of Tabi from your library." TRT General Director Sobacı said Aydın had no relation with the organisation and that his series had been removed from the broadcaster's platforms. Aydın's final response was as follows: "Since you lack the ability to produce content, you can only produce sword and shield series and feed some privileged producers whose identity is more or less obvious. I don't want those morsels either. It's the people's money." ADVERTISEMENT 2 April boycott A large group of students from Istanbul University, Galatasaray University and Boğaziçi University pledged not to buy or sell anything on 2 April. Many political figures, businesses and social media influencers, including CHP leader Özgür Özel, announced their participation in the boycott. As part of the action, participants refrained from buying any products or services from markets, stores, restaurants and cafes. No orders were placed from e-commerce platforms, and no credit card use or money transfers were made. Related EU delegation visits jailed Erdoğan rival Ekrem İmamoğlu in Istanbul prison Protests against Istanbul mayor's arrest morph into one-day shopping boycott CHP leader Özgür Özel also joined the boycott. ADVERTISEMENT "I invite everyone to join this boycott and use their power that comes from consumption," CHP party leader Özel said in a post on social media.
