This episode will discuss the stories of hijabis and niqabis and what they face in upscale restaurants + resorts within Egypt, including being denied and forced to change. The question is why? And who does the ban satisfy? We will also briefly take a look at the bigger picture in the realities of women in Egypt, and their freedom of choice in clothing.

A man with not a lot of information on him, nonetheless, Al-Lithy Nassaf was considered a powerful figure within both the Nasser and Sadat governments and was well respected. He was last known to be in London for urgent medical care yet later died from the Stuart Tower from the 10th floor. What happened on the day of his death? And how did he die?

Ashraf Marwan, or The Angel was one of the most significant politicians/businessmen within modern Egyptian society. A private man with a horrific death let many wonder how did his life end this way, and what about his life made him the target of so many enemies?

Famed at the “Cinderella of Arab Cinema”, she was one of the most popular actress during the Golden Age of Egyptian Cinema. Her death, however, is mysterious and is still debated to this day! Was she murdered by this so called “balcony phantom of London”?, and who could they be? Or did she commit suicide due to the pressures that come with being a star? This will be a trilogy series discussing famous Egyptians who died from falling from a balcony in London.

This episode (not really) is a brief introduction of who I am! All my twitter peeps may know me as @cryindivaa, but to make things less mysterious, my name is Mariam. Born in Egypt and live in the USA, this podcast will discuss all things Egypt (and maybe the other MENA countries), politics, culture, social issues, you name it we talk about it! While the episodes will mostly be in English, i will drop some Arabic every once in a while. I hope with every episode you leave with something and I hope el enta Sama3ny baha?
