PRESENTATION Savoir-faire: When creating its products, Aurélia Belliti ensures that their production complies with current French and European legislati-on. Before creating a garment, being able to appreciate its's fabric is essential. This is also one of the main concerns of the line of the house. In this quest for precision, tissues are selected according to several criteria: * The touch: fabrics of pleasant and high-quality are prioritised. * The fall: this criterion that will play on the rendering of the garment is preferred. • The colors: the color of the fabric that will match harmoniously with all its other components is preferred. Aurélia Belliti creations are limited edition and designed with prestigious fabrics of large houses. In its various workshops, the choice of noble materials and the care taken in each phase of the process of creating the products of the house, thus serve the aim of excellence and elegance of the house.

Giza pyramids stand time since 2550 BC
THE THREE GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA PLATEAU, WITH THE BIGGEST PYRAMID OF KHEOPS, FROM 2700-2500 BC, IS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD. THE THREE OF GIZA'S FAMED PYRAMIDS, INCLUDING THE ELAB-ORATE BURIAL COMPLEXES WERE BUILT DURING A FRENETIC PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION, FROM ROUGHLY 2550 TO 2490 BC. FACING THE PYRAMIDS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT CAN'T BE JUSTLY EXPRESSED IN WORDS; THIS HUGE BUILDING IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES SIMPLY WOWS YOU.
IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO BOOK YOUR TOUR GUIDE OR HIRE ANY OF TOUR GUIDES AT THE ENT-RANCE AFTER PAYING ENTRANCE TICKET. PRICE FOR ARAB LOCALS IS 10 EGP AND 120 EGP FOR FORE-IGNERS. TICKET GRANTS ACCESS TO THE PYRAMIDS AREA ONLY, WHERE TOUR GUIDES OFFER HORSE OR CAMEL TOURS. THE PRICE HERE DIFFERS TOO, BUT THE PRICE FOR THE LONG TOUR, WHICH INCLUDES A RIDE INTO THE DESERT AND A CHANCE TO SEE THE PYRAMIDS FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE. (WHICH IS REALLY WORTH IT), CAN COST FROM 150-300 EGP PER PERSON.
Reza-Style.com
AFTER THE EXCITING YET THRIL-LING EXPERIENCE OF DESERT TOUR, I RECOMMEND (ON YOUR WAY BACK TO THE MAIN PYRA-MID'S AREA) TO VISIT THE GREAT SPHINX, WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY THE THREE PYRAMIDS IN THE BACKGROUND. THIS VIEW MADE THE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE EXACTLY HOW I'VE IMAGINED IT TO BE. IT EVOKES THE UNMISTAKEBLE
RECOGNITION OF THE HISTORIC GREATNESS OF GIZA. UP CLOSE EGYPTIAN RICHNESS CAN BE OVERWHELMING, SO FIRST TIME TRAVELER MAY BENEFIT TO SEE IT FROM A LESS CROWDED PLACE. A DISTANCED POINT OF VIEW CAN HELP TO GRASP ALL THE IMPRESSIONS. THE BOAT RIDE ON THE NILE RIVER IS ONLY ONE OF MANY ULTIMATE ´HISTORY HONORING EXPERIENCES THAT CAIRO HAS TO OFFER.
It is very important for me to reflect and connect with the culture and the locals

Cairo Mena House with stunning Giza view HOW ABOUT A LUNCH WITH THE PYRAMIDS IN FRONT OF YOU, YES - THIS IS POSSIBLE ONLY AT MENA HOUSE HOTEL THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND OLDEST HOTELS IN EGYPT WITH A BRIGHT AND COLORFUL HISTORY FOOD WAS REALLY DELICI-OUS BUT WHAT IS REALLY WORTH TO VISIT IT ISN'T ONLY THE VIEW BUT THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF WHICH ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDE THEIR BEST. AND AS A PART OF ANY NEW TRIP I DO, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO REFLECT AND CONNECT WITH THE CULTURE AND LOCALS, AND NO BETTER PLACE THAN OLD CAIRO TO DO SO, WITH IT'S TINY BUSY STREETS FULL OF PEOPLE, IS A GOOD PLACE TO BE PART OF SOMETHING
TO BELONG TO A GREAT CULTURE. AT THE SUNSET MOMENT, WHICH IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY, I SAID GOODBYE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN EGYPT. AND BECAUSE TRAVEL IS ALL ABOUT TRYING NEW THINGS AND LIVING THE CULTURE, TRYING A FAMOUS EGYPTIAN DISH "KOUSHARI" IS A MUST. THIS DISH IS COMMON IN ALL EGYPTIAN HOMES AND IS SERVED AT EVERY STREET CORNER. OTHER IMPORTANT CULTURE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE ALAZHAR MOSQUE. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MOSQUES IN EGYPT AND AMONG THE MOST FAMOUS IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD. FOUNDED BY THE FATIMIDS IN 970 AD, AS MOSQUE DEDICATED TO BOTH WORSHIP AND LEARNING. IT IS STILL THE CENTRE OF ISLAMIC WORLD.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT HAVING A WALK AT TALAAT FOR ME TO HARB STREET IS A MUST; WITH REFLECT AND ITS OLD BUILDINGS WHICH GO CONNECT WITH BACK TO THE EARLY 1900S. THE CULTURE YOU JUST FEEL TRANSPORTED AND THE BACK IN TIME TO THE GOLDEN LOCALS AGE OF ONE OF THE BLACK AND WHITE OLD EGYPTIAN MOVIES, WITH MANY SHOPS AND RESTAU RANTS ACROSS THE DOWN TOWN MAKING THE SCENERY LOOK LIKE A MOVIE SET. TALAAT HARB STREET IS ONE OF THE TWO MAIN STREETS IN CAIRO.

THE ARAB FASHION COUNCIL ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF ITS OFFICE IN RIYADH AND THE APPOINTMENT OF H.H. PRINCESS NOURA BINT FAISAL AL SAUD AS HONORARY PRESIDENT
December 18th, 2017. The Arab Fashion Council, the world’s largest non-profit fashion council representing the 22 Arabic countries members of the Arab League has announced the opening of its regional office in Riyadh and the appointments of HH Princess Noura Bint Faisal Al Saud as Honorary President and Ms. Layla Issa Abuzaid as Country Director for Saudi Arabia. This strategic move marks a historical milestone for the Kingdom. It is the start of a long-term strategy that will go hand in hand to achieve both the Kingdom’s ambitious 2030 vision and that of the Arab Fashion Council’s; to establish a sustainable fashion...
Ms. Layla Issa Abuzaid Jacob Abrian HH Princess Noura Bint Faisal Al Saud “The Arab Fashion Council is proud to establish a regional office in Riyadh. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always been recognised one of the world’s powerhouses of investment in talent. With a wealth in resources far beyond oil; the Kingdom is rich in its people and their ambitions for the future. The appointment of HH Princess Noura Bint Faisal Al Saud as its Honorary President and Ms. Layla Issa Abuzaid as Country Director for Saudi Arabia recognises the leadership of Arab Women in the region and marks the beginning of an exciting journey for fashion in Saudi Arabia.” JACOB ABRIAN, Founder & Chief Executive, The Arab Fashion Council. “I am delighted to accept the appointment as Honorary President of The Arab Fashion Council. Our aim is to position both the Kingdom and indeed the region, on the International fashion map. To incubate the wealth of regional fashion talents in design, retail and business. To promote these talents Internationally through building a sustainable, responsible and future-fit infrastructure for the Arab World.” H.H. PRINCESS NOURA BINT FAISAL AL SAUD, Honorary President, The Arab Fashion Council.
“This initiative is an expression of our profound and philanthropic commitment to improve the standards of living of those less fortunate than us”, commented Ramzi Nakad, Fashion Forward Dubai co-founder “With this donation to Dubai Cares, we are hoping to help 15,000 underprivileged children and young adults in Egypt, 50% of which are girls, break the cycle of poverty by providing them with access to safe and conducive learning environment”, he added.
On the back of their participation in Fashion Forward 2017, Baume & Mercier announced the auctioning of special creations, done in collaboration with three of the region’s most well-known designers, Hussein Bazaza, Zayan Ghandour and Rula Galayini. Auction proceeds will be donated to Dubai Cares, the UAE based global philanthropic organization working towards providing children and young people in developing countries with access to quality education. His Excellency, Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer at Dubai Cares said: “Supporting girls’ education is one of the single best investments we can make to help nations overcome the cycle of poverty. With such valuable support from Baume & Mercier, we believe that the private sector can play a key role in this equation and this auction is a great example on how watch brands can help us in empowering children, notably girls, through education.” Dubai Cares’ 3-year program in Egypt aims to cultivate girls’ leadership skills through extracurricular activities and sports, and enabling them to put these skills into practice through participating in Student Unions. Despite near-universal enrollment in primary education in Egypt, a recent study conducted by the Population Council, found that around 26% of girls surveyed in the country’s frontier governorates, and 23% of those surveyed in rural parts of Upper Egypt, had never attended school, as opposed to 10% and 7% of boys surveyed in these respective area.

National Bonds Corporation handing over the second phase of Motor City Green Community Villas Successful handover to owners after one year of the Casa Familia launch with high demand for the flexible payment plan extending up to 10 years
Dubai, UAE, January 2018 - National Bonds Corporation PJSC, through its real estate arm,Nat. Properties LLC, has announced the handover of the second phase of Motor City Green Community known as Casa Familia villas which boasts 95 townhouse villas in a record time. Infrastructure has been completed to provide modern facilities for residents and meet their lifestyle needs at all levels. Motor City was voted as the best community to live in within Dubai according to a survey conducted by FlatReviews.com which include over 2000 residents. It’s a destination development that has successfully combined the “city within a city” concept with wholesome suburban living and one of Dubai's finest iconic developments, offers residents and visitors a series of entertainment, recreational, educational and dining experiences as well as a diverse quality living and working environment, all within one uniquely designed development. Commenting on this record achievement, Mohammed Qassim Al Ali, CEO of National Bonds, said: " We are proud of this achievement; we delivered 95 luxury villas in the Casa Familia project after one year only, with the highest quality standards and elegant yet practical theme at the same time, capturing the lifestyle that any modern family requires." Al Ali added: "This confirms the company's commitment to execute its projects in accordance with the time-bound plans, and we are committed to continue our real estate investments in the UAE, with great confidence in contributing to the social and economic
development adopted by the wise leadership of our country. Green Community is a significant component of the rich Motor City community, as it provides a way of life within a secure environment comprising landscaped gardens, water features, cobblestone streets and walkways with natural greenery that further enhances the peace and tranquillity provided."
Buyers were also very happy to receive their villas. "I was impressed by the quality of the villa, its size, and its layout which exceeds the expectations of my wife and family. It’s way more beautiful than the pictures and sketches I saw a year ago," said Manhal Sadik, a buyer of a 3 bedrooms townhouse villa. "It is the family dream home that I always wished for. The villa is very spacious and has first-class finishing. It offers tranquillity and security. Also, it has a strategic location and is located within lush gardens and walking distance from supermarkets, pharmacies, schools and many shops. " Added Mohamad Hassan, a buyer of a 5 bedrooms townhouse villa. "I have been saving with National Bonds since 2007 and have made great profits over the past 10 years. I can’t describe my how happy I was when I received my home because it is a fantastic investment. The price I paid when I purchase my villa was slightly lower than it is now and with the 7 years payment plan after handover I will receive higher profits especially as we get closer to Expo 2020. Yes, I definitely recommend to everyone to invest in Casa Familia because it is really an unprecedented investment with a unique payment plan and the project has so many other benefits and advantages that I did not find in any other project in the UAE." Said Majd Al Jayousi, a buyer of a 3 bedroom townhouse villa. The ready remaining townhouse villas within Casa Familia are now available for rent or sale with options of three, four and five bedrooms - the ground floor of each townhouse villa boasts an impressive grand entrance hall, spacious living and dining areas, modern kitchens, the convenience of a separate breakfast room, the peace and quiet.
