Introduction to entry:
"The Silk Road" is a title that grabs everybody attention in no time. "The Giza Pyramids" is the only still standing monument from the Sevens Wonders of the Ancient World. As soon as I learned that a great Silk Costumes fashion designer is coming to show her dresses in Cairo Opera House, as a part for promoting the "Belt and the Road initiative" , I contacted my friend. the Chinese Cultural and tourism Attache, who were in charge of the event, and we arranged a photo session for the fascinating Chinese silk costumes in front the pyramid. "Nisf El-Dunia" Magazine, the greatest women magazine in Egypt, and one of the best in the Arab world had a fixed policy for the cover: A Portrait of a woman. But when the Editor saw the pictures, he easily convinced the Cheif editor to change that policy for once. So, we had the cover of the beautiful Chinese model, wearing the famous Chinese Silk, in front of the Pyramid.
