Al Ahly for Real Estate
In Cityscape Egypt 2012
Cityscape Egypt:
It is the largest dedicated real estate exhibition ever held in Egypt that highlights all sectors of the industry. The exhibition and conference
allowed industry professionals, consumers, private and international investors, businesses and end users insight into one of the world
most exciting real estate markets
Cityscape Egypt in association with Next Move opened its doors to the inaugural exhibition and conference on the 20th of February 2012
at the Cairo International Convention Centre in Cairo.
Why Cityscape Egypt?
Four years ago, Egypt was not among the top ten destinations for investing in real estate, but now, according to a survey of 200 investors,
it has reached the pinnacle,” said Blair Hagkull, MENA Chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle, a global real estate services and investment
management firm.
Egypt now ranks number two behind Saudi Arabia in terms of investor confidence. Rural migration toward bigger cities, most notably,
Cairo, has been a driving force. In addition, there are 600,000 marriages per year in Egypt, which, in theory, translates into the same
number of couples looking to make a housing purchase.
Egypt’s residential real estate sector weathered the global economic downturn better than most, thanks to a young population and a cash
economy that isolated it from troubled international credit markets. However, while the lack of a robust mortgage industry shielded the
country from the international crisis, it has been a hindrance to the development of mid-range real estate market.
Foreign direct investment (FDI), another imperative indicator, into the Egyptian real estate sector, began to gather steam following the
G7 summit near the end of 2008, as “the new key word was ‘emerging markets’. Against this background, Egypt immediately blipped on
investors’ radars, as it is a populous and stable country.
Al Ahly For Real Estate Company has participated in cityscape 2012 exhibition with a booth with total
space 370m2
Our booth theme was modern, elegant and classy design that helped reflect the company’s theme and
style in providing our clients with favorable life style

is the world’s most expensive player
Foundation Academy
NOW IN EGYPT !
Real Madrid, is a professional football club based in Madrid,
Spain. It was founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club and has
traditionally worn a white home kit since. The word Real is
Spanish for royal and was bestowed to the club by King Alfonso
XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem. The club
established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European
football during the 1950.
At
Managed by
If anyone embodies the new age player, it is
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.
Possessing strength, pace, skill and
professionalism in abundance, Ronaldo’s
many attributes leave him well equipped for
the modern game.
In an age where players have never been
fitter or stronger, Ronaldo has ensured that
his outrageous natural talent is complimented
by a bulging physique that makes him a
tough proposition for any defense.
His US$131 million move from Manchester
United to Real Madrid in 2009 made him
the most expensive player in the world and
at the Bernabeu he has thrilled the masses
with high caliber performances and plenty of
goals.
FAME Academies
FAME Academies is an Egyptian company that aims at developing the sports industry in Egypt in many ways. Its work scope involves the
establishment of football academies that contribute to the development of football skills on a technical level, and the development of the
society on a social level, based on a community services front.
FAME Academies work towards the promotion of positive values inherent to playing sports and the promotion of sports as an educational
tool that contributes to the integral development of children and youth.
Cooperation between FAME Academies & Fundación Real Madrid
In January 2012, FAME Academies signed a contract with Fundación Real Madrid which gives it the exclusive rights to establish
the first Real Madrid Foundation Academy in Egypt for football. The Academy in Egypt is the first Technical Academy worldwide
for Real Madrid outside Spain.
Real Madrid’s traditional home colours are all white
Although before its foundation the first kit initially adopted a blue oblique
stripe on the shirt (the design was kept in the club crest); but unlike today,
dark blue socks were worn. In the same year, the blue socks were replaced
by black ones. Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit
throughout the history of the club. There was however one season that the
shirt and shorts were not both white. Years later, Leeds United switched
their blue shirt for a white one after marveling at Real Madrid’s 7-3 Victory
against Eintracht Frankfurt in Glasgow’s Hampden Park. By the early 1940s
the manager changed the kit again by adding buttons to the shirt and the
club’s crest on the left breast (which have remained ever since).
Fundación Real Madrid
The Fundación Real Madrid is the instrument by which the Real Madrid Football Club makes efficient use of its
social and corporate responsibility, and by which it develops projects of a social and formative nature. The Club
makes an annual donation to the Fundación in order for it to undertake several activities.
The Fundación Real Madrid has as its main purpose of promoting the playing of sports among children and
young people, based on the understanding that playing sports contributes to the integral development of their
personality, as well as providing positive leisure time alternatives over situations of risk and to promoting healthy
lifestyles and habits among the young, both in Spain and the rest of the world.
The Fundación Real Madrid considers playing sports to be an important factor in social integration and for
promoting ethical values of solidarity, participation, team spirit, respect for opponents, non-discrimination, among
others.

FAME Academies started this collaboration with Fundación Real Madrid in order to provide the children and youth with a lifetime
opportunity for development as professional players in two ways, “Technical Academy” and “Social Academy”.
• Real Madrid Foundation Technical Academy will be the first to open worldwide outside Spain; it is dedicated to developing the youngsters,
boys and girls, into professional players through high standard football education that is supervised by the Real Madrid Foundation
trainers. The Real Madrid Foundation Technical Academy commences in April 2012.
• Real Madrid Foundation Social Academy is targeting the unfortunate youngsters, boys and girls, who do not have an equal chance to
practice football because of their tough economic and social conditions. The social school will be free of charge, and aims for the social
integration of disfavored children. The Real Madrid Foundation Social Academy will launch in September 2012.

Benefits of Horseback riding
for your Child
I firmly believe that horses and riding are good for children - physically, intellectually,
emotionally, and spiritually. Together, horses and instructors make riders; together, good
horses and good instructors make riders, horsemen, and good human beings.
What does riding do for children?
It gets them up and active and out in all kinds of weather, yearround. Once upon a time, this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but
nowadays, when so many schools are eliminating physical exercise
from the curriculum, riding may be the only way for some children to
tap into the benefits of physical activity and fitness. For horses and
for humans, physical activity is essential for good health. Restricted
movement and confinement aren’t natural or healthy, and neither
horses nor humans can stay sane and sensible when deprived of
movement, circulation, and oxygen to the brain. In terms of posture
and breathing alone, riding makes an enormous difference that is
noticeable at school and at home.
Riding teaches children in a way that classroom lectures cannot.
Through interacting with horses and watching good role models,
riders learn much more than riding skills. They learn to be thoughtful
and gentle, compassion ate and empathetic. They learn to be
patient. They also learn courage — and determination.
Riders learn to take responsibility for their own actions, and for the
consequences of those actions. This is essential training for school,
for college, for a career, for life as an adult and a parent and an
all- around useful citizen. As they learn to look after horses well,
they also master any number of subjects that they aren’t offered in
school — the value of exercise and conditioning, and the importance
of warm ups, cool-downs, and proper nutrition.
Horsemanship isn’t limited to horses - the attitudes and habits
of a horse man can be applied throughout life. Learning to care
for horses properly means learning how to take responsibility for
another being that is completely dependent on them for its care,
health and happiness. It’s an ideal education for future parents. (In
Pony Club, we used to say — and rightly - “When Pony Clubbers
grow up, they make the best parents!”) Grooming horses, cleaning
stalls, scrubbing water buckets and cleaning tack are chores that
must be done. Whether the ride was enjoyable or frustrating, when
it’s over, the horse’s needs must be met. Cooling the horse down,
giving it water, grooming it, being sure that it has a clean stall or
paddock in which to relax, feeding it, and only then taking time to
look after their own needs — these are the habits of a horseman.
They are also the habits of good parents — and of young riders
who are learning to be horsemen, and who will grow up to be
compassionate, empathetic, careful, caring parents who put their
children first, see to the children’s needs before getting their own
drink, dinner, shower, or nap, and who won’t back away from diaper
changes or from sick and fretful offspring.

Riding and horsemanship don’t distract children from their studies
they help them study more wisely and much more effectively.
Riding involves discipline and self-discipline. Attentive riders learn
to appreciate the value of systematic, progressive training. They
learn to apply themselves to their studies, and they learn how to
stay focused, work hard — and work smart.
Riders learn to understand the importance of process. In riding, you
can’t copy someone else’s answers, because it’s not just a matter
of getting the right answer, but of getting the answer in the right way.
With the help of good teachers (human and equine), they learn
about themselves, and they learn how they learn best — and what
sort of teaching approach they find most useful and effective. They
also learn some very practical social skills, such as how to put their
own egos aside, how to look for causes, reasons, and solutions,
and how to think instead of just reacting with a burst of temper.
These skills will benefit the riders forever, even if they give up riding.
Riding lessons provide useful reality checks. Riders learn to be
attentive and observant. They learn the importance of having and
using safety equipment and safety practices, and they learn that no
matter how much they may adore their horses, the horses are still
horses and are always capable of reacting to surprises or pain with
a startle, rear, or kick.
Horses and riding can promote children’s selfesteem and help gaining competence as riders
and gives them a type of confidence that simply
can’t be matched in any other sport, because
they’ve not only acquired skills, they’ve built a
relationship with their horse.
“It builds character” is usually said about things
that are unpleasant or painful — things we don’t
enjoy doing and don’t want to do. Riding is a
pleasant and enjoyable way to build character.
Respect, compassion, empathy, responsibility,
honesty, integrity, focus and follow-through.
Who wouldn’t wish their children
have and practice such values?

Workout plan
to Lose Weight
When paired with eating a healthy, well-rounded diet, exercise is the best combatant in the weight loss battle.
Adding 45 minutes of exercise to your daily routine will greatly improve your ability to lose fat and add muscle.
Though some dieters are disconcerted to find that weight may plateau at the beginning of an exercise regimen, it
is important to remember that fat is lost and muscle is built.
Cardio
Weight Training
Flexibility
Start small. Identify your target Begin lifting weights, either free weights or Increase flexibility and
heart rate, and begin trying to
meet at least 50 percent of your
maximum heart rate during a
cardio routine. Begin walking,
briskly walking or doing lowimpact aerobic exercise.
Try to push yourself to go a
little more intensely each day
by speeding up the pace of
a portion of your workout by
just a few seconds. To avoid
boredom, change the method
of obtaining a cardio workout by
trying a treadmill or an elliptical
machine, or biking. Your goal
should be getting to 70 percent
to 80 percent of your maximum
heart rate, maintained for 30
minutes per day.

using a weight machine. Even if you don’t
want to bulk up as part of your weight loss
goals, it’s important to add weight training
to your routine to add and tone muscle.
Add muscle and your body will burn
calories more efficiently. A good strengthtraining program will last 20 to 30 minutes,
and be done in three to four sessions a
week. Always allow one full day between
exercising the same muscle group, as
muscles need recovery time to prevent
injury.
Buy weight resistance bands or an
inexpensive barbell set if money is a factor.
Start by warming up and stretching. Pick
up a light weight and do 10 to 12 repetitions
with it before switching to the next muscle.
Plan to increase the weight on the next
training day if this weight was too easy.
manage stress
in low-impact activities such as yoga or
Pilates. Add yoga once a week to help
increase range of motion and strength. Join
a class, or begin practicing at home, but
the key to yoga is not pushing yourself past
the level you’re comfortable with to begin.
Practice Pilates to help strengthen the core
and reduce pain in the lower back.
When to See
a
Doctor?
See a doctor before beginning a weight
loss regimen, and check to make sure your
diet is in line with your nutritional needs.
Ask a doctor to recommend a cardio and
weight program that includes exceptions
for back, joint or cardiological problems.

Snacks play a major role for everyone who wants to have a healthy balanced diet. Practically, a
quick snack helps keep the energy level and, what’s more important, can keep you from eating
too much at one meal. But you need to pay attention to what snack you choose. Fruits, vegetables,
dairy products or whole-grain breads or cereals are a smart choice that provide all the vitamins

weight management.
Apples have so many health benefits such as: reduce cancer
risk, prevent heart diseases, control asthma, and a daily

Answer these Questions
Before You Decorate
Basically, it’s not a good idea to just buy
wallpaper or a major piece of furniture on a
whim. If you’re starting to decorate a room,
there are some basic questions you should
ask yourself, not only before you decorate,
but even before you go out shopping.
And this applies regardless of whether
you’re a beginner or an experienced home
renovator.
If you ask yourself the following questions,
you’ll be a long way toward deciding what to
buy, what to get rid of, what to include, and
what to do in your new room.
How will I use this room?
It’s a “no brainer” that a bedroom will need a bed, a chair, and a lamp. But will you choose a beautiful
armoire to be a second focal point for the room or do you need to reserve a major space for your
exercising machine?
If you’re working on a family room, will you have a large entertainment area or will the room be filled
with a pool table?
And will the dining room be used for formal entertaining or will it become the home office?
Will I use this room every day or just occasionally?
The answer to this question will help you decide how much to spend on your decorating project, what
colors to use, and what pieces of furniture you’ll need. If you’re working on a guest room that will be
slept in once a month, you’ll spend much less than on a master bedroom that you’ll use every day.
And a guest room can be a space to experiment with bold color, new design, and luxury items. But a
master bedroom should be done in a soothing, familiar color and include
practical and useful furniture.
What is my favorite color and how can I use some of it in this room?
It’s obvious that if your favorite color is fuchsia, you probably can’t paint your family room or teen
boy’s room fuchsia. But you can find ways to bring that favorite color into almost any room in your
home. Use towels, flowers, paintings with fuchsia, or cording trims to bring that color to the room.
Start with an accent piece that’s multi-colored, including your favorite color. You’ll be surprised how
that stand-out favorite color becomes the focal point, even if the room is plain beige!
Does my room get enough natural light?
If your room has dark corners or shaded light all day, you might want to select colors to brighten
up the space even on the darkest of days. Or you’ll need to look for ways to add artificial light with
decorative lamps, track lighting, or recessed lights.
If the room gets direct sunlight throughout the day, you’ll need to think about adding draperies or
window blinds or shutters to control the light.
What furniture do I need and where should I put it?
Not all rules apply to every room you’ll decorate but there are some tips about arranging furniture that
work pretty well for any room. They’re a good starting place.
Here’s a mini-course on furniture arranging:
• Determine the focal point of your room. This will be the focus of all the furniture in the room.
• Decide first where the largest pieces of furniture will go. This includes a sofa, a bed, or a large
table. Next, decide where you’ll place large chairs, chests of drawers, or an armoire. Last, find a
place for small side tables, mirrors, occasional tables, and stools.
• Be sure that all seating areas have good tables and lighting near them.
• Balance is important to a room. To balance a room, pair a large sofa with a similarly sized pair of
chairs on the other side of the space.
• For easy and friendly conversation, make sure that the major seating is within 8 to 14 feet of other
seating.
• Use a decorative or neutral area rug as the foundation for the seating area. Make sure that the rug
is anchored with furniture around all the sides and on the corners.
If I could be anywhere in the world, where would I be?
This may seem like a strange question, since you’re not going there. But what you can do is add
special touches to your room, any room, that reminds you of your favorite place. Do you love the
beach or the mountains? Do you dream in snowy white snuggled up at a charming bed-and-breakfast
inn? What mood do these places create for you?
For starters, if you dream of the mountains, find ways to bring warm green, brown, natural
elements into the room. Decorate with log-cabin style and add rustic elements like acorns,
blue jays, and pine. If the beach is where you dream of being, add some elements that take
you there. Choose a sisal rug over a hardwood floor instead of sandy colored carpet. Paint
with colors of the ocean and waves. Accessorize with shells, starfish, or netting draperies.
Create elements of your dream place in your space.

How to attract Positive Energy
when choosing your new house
Feng shui is a Chinese practice that subscribes to the belief that everything is connected and
strives to create a positive relationship between humans and the environment. Feng shui provides
techniques to help create balance and harmony within our lives that result in positive energy. If you
follow feng shui, it is important that your home is balanced and harmonious so as to invite positive
energy that will help you achieve your full potential.
• A newly built home has the best feng shui because it has no
history, so the house is free of negative energy. If a new home
is not an option, learn why the homes you are considering
are being sold. Look for a home that is being sold for positive
reasons, such as someone who is getting married, is starting
a family or earned a promotion. A home being sold because
of divorce, foreclosure or death is undesirable because these
houses have negative energy and the problems the previous
homeowners experienced might become yours as well.
• A home’s street location is an important feng shui aspect to
consider because roads are energy channels. A house that
has a road coming straight at it, such as a house located at
the end of a T-junction, is not recommended because the road
will bring too much energy to the home. To help keep some of
this excess energy at bay, make sure the home is beautifully
landscaped. Homes that have stagnant energy pools, like
those located at a dead end or on an alley, could also result
in problems for the home’s inhabitants. Again, attractive
landscaping can help combat this problem, so buying a condo
or a house outside the city is a great idea. Also, try hanging
wind chimes and banners to create energy flow.
• A home with ideal feng shui sits at or above ground level, for it is
difficult for positive energy to enter a home below ground level.
Similarly, the land behind the home should either be ground
level or rise, which insinuates that the house is supported.
Look for a home that sits closer to the front of the lot than
to the back, optimally on a square- or rectangular-shaped lot.
Landscaping can be beneficial to a home’s feng shui, but it
should not overwhelm the home. A tree in front of the entry
or large shrubs that seem to climb the home’s exterior could
prevent opportunities.
• Bathrooms are associated with elimination and waste, making
proper placement and design beneficial to a home’s feng shui.
Avoid homes with a bathroom placed in the home’s center,
for a home has better feng shui if its center remains open.
Within the bathroom, avoid a toilet that faces the front door,
as well as a toilet adjacent to the front door. A bathroom that
has any of these seemingly negative elements could lead to
health, financial and career disappointments. However, you
can decrease the bathroom’s negative affects by placing a
full-length mirror either on the bathroom door’s inside or both
inside and outside, and keeping the bathroom door shut and
toilet lid closed.

Family holiday
You are more likely to go on a family holiday if you have somewhere to go. So
many people I know have the most wonderful childhood memories in their family’s
vacation home. The best part is that those memories got to continue thanks to a
wise investment on behalf of their parents. How awesome would it feel to not only
enjoy your dream vacation home but get to pass it along to your children one day?
You might not even have children currently or even be married but it’s still a great
reason to consider.
Making Memories
Whether you are single, a couple or a family of five, a vacation home all of your
own gives you a real chance to make memories. Yes, of course you can make
memories while staying in a hotel but it’s not quite the same thing. Whether it be
a summer cottage, beach house or a cabin in the woods, there is just something
about sharing your dream vacation home year after year with those you love.
Inviting other families or friends to stay with you can often enhance that experience.
You’ll remember the times you spent in your vacation home forever.
Social life
Great Reasons to Own
A BEACH HOUSE
There are many great reasons why you should own a beach
house. As most people desire owning their own house,
there are many people who aspire to owning their own
holiday property, and the beach is always considered a
popular destination. A beach house needs to be fancy, as it
can sleep your family and any extra guests. It should have
a good living area and a great view. People buy vacation
properties for many different reasons. For some it’s solely
for the return on their investment and for others it’s a second
home to nestle in when the temperature gets high either in
winter or summer.
Having a beach house will help kick start your social life, if it is a little on the slow
side. Having a beach house gives you the perfect excuse to invite people to stay,
plus it will be a great place to have casual summer parties and barbecues. When
investing in a beach house you are also investing in a more relaxing lifestyle. A
beach house is somewhere that you go to unwind your troubles, so it can be good
for your stress levels to have a holiday home. If you have a high pressure job think
about purchasing a beach side property, it will help you to relax and enjoy life.
A Place to Call Your Own
I don’t know anyone that doesn’t enjoy travel. When you have a vacation home
to call your own, there is the pride of ownership but there is also the reassurance
that everything is where you kept it. Travel becomes easier when you know some
of your clothing and necessities are there waiting for you. There are no worries
about how clean your accommodations are, because you own them, unlike a
hotel which is sometimes questionable upon booking. You can use the place,
entertain and do whatever you wish in your own space. There is a greater sense
of freedom in that regard.
A More Balanced Life
People that own vacation homes are more likely to take the time off from work
for some much needed rest and relaxation. It’s easy to say you’ll go away next
summer, next year, etc. When you have a beautiful vacation home waiting for you,
you’ll make the time, which will in turn help you live a more balanced life. After all
we work too hard, so having somewhere to go to relax would definitely have its
good impact on your health. Plus you will get to enjoy the fresh sea breeze.
New friends
You will find that you will make a whole new set of friends as you get to know
your neighbours and other people in your community. You will also find that your
children have made new friends with a regular crowd of kids that all come down
to stay at their beach houses as well.
Another asset
Owning another property is a good investment as it adds to your assets.

Plant Selection
Plants for beach house settings must adapt to
this particular kind of environment. They must
be salt-tolerant if they are in coast areas and
must grow well in sandy soils. Beach houses
on freshwater lakes have a greater selection
of plants, but these may need to be cold-hardy
in northern areas. Palm varieties look good in
beach landscapes.
Beachgrass, saltwort, pine and birch suit
coastal areas. Avoid plants that grow or
spread quickly that will need constant pruning
or removal of debris. Choose plants that are
native to the area for best chance of longterm survival as well as fewer maintenance
requirements.
Softscapes
Softscapes are the live, horticultural elements
in your landscape design. For a beach house
landscape, curved beds give property a casual,
relaxed feel yet hold plants neatly, according
to University of Florida horticulturalist Gail
Hansen. Vertical lines of tree plantings should
break up long, horizontal structures of the
house and provide shade for outdoor living
areas. Bedding shapes can be added to break
up large, uninteresting expanses. Use mulch
and gravel instead of lawn grass for easy
maintenance and low water usage. Lawn
areas, if desired, should use native grasses
or lower maintenance grasses suitable for
the region of the country. Use the shapes and
textures of plants like arborvitae or ferns to
add interest.
Hardscapes
Hardscapes are areas in landscapes that
do not contain plants but that contribute
to the overall look of the property. Entry
sidewalks, driveways, retaining walls and
patios are all hardscape features that should
contribute to the look of the property as a
whole. Flagstone, pavers, concrete, gravel
and stone are all hardscape materials used
to separate garden and living areas and
provide clean and organized surfaces for
specific functions. Gravel gives beach houses
a more relaxed look for surface areas than
concrete. Pavers are used to make attractive
walkways and driveways. Flagstone is a good
look for pathways around beach homes,
directing traffic throughout the property while
maintaining a casual look.
Maintenance Features
Beach living is by its nature easy-care, and
landscape ideas for beach houses should
include research for plants that need the
minimum of care. Make patio and other
hardscape areas easy to clean with a simple
washing with a hose.

Tips for your
Beach House
Garden
The relaxed atmosphere and sounds of
the surf make a beach house a refuge and
getaway for family and friends. Entertaining
is the norm when you have a beach house,
so outdoor areas must have attractive areas
for dining and gathering. Where the beach
house is located limits the landscape ideas
for plants. Select those plants that grow well
in your region of the country.
