Maybe we need to look to our past to improve our future, and what a glorious past Egypt has seen.

Let us take you through a quick stroll in Egypt’s history, with an array of images you probably have never seen before. The history and rich cultural heritage this majestic country had makes my heart break for it today:

WE SAID THIS: I would give anything to have lived through such amazing history!

Some call her a workaholic, others call her driven, she calls herself a hustler. Some find her outgoing, others standoffish, she's just a confused intro/extrovert. Spanning over 10 years in the event and marketing industry, Sherry began her career in Egypt's burgeoning Sports Marketing industry, to quickly be recruited by the Middle East's largest Film Studio Rotana Studios to spearhead and manage their Marketing Department, before starting her own company Nineteen84 Luxury & Entertainment Management. Along the way she built some of Egypt's most successful websites, leading up until Scoop Empire, a compilation of her and her 2 partners (best friends) brain child!
