We cannot pass on the opportunity to share this picture of Gamal Mubarak and bride-to-be Khadija pressing the flesh at the World Economic Forum summit in Sharm Al Sheikh. No doubt this further sinks this blog’s reputation to tabloid level, but we have to ask:

Reminds me that some people think this site spends too much time worrying about Khadija — this this recent comment an http://arabist.net/archives/2005/12/12/mrs-gamal-mubarak/#comments“ rel=”nofollow”>old post.
Ya Issandr, did you notice that Hannah Allam of Knight Ridder quoted you on the “what is she wearing” part? All this sober political analysis you write, and *that’s* what makes the headlines 🙂
