Vogue Arabia Magazine - April 2023

In this issue

VOGUE ARABIA + VOGUE MAN ARABIA With the Holy Month comes an undeniably festive feeling. Evenings get brighter, and Arab entertainment booms with Ramadan specials. One of the most awaited? Yasmine Sabri‘s Eid Al-Fitr blockbuster Abu Al-Nasab, a comedy film co-starring Egyptian actor Mohamed Imam, and directed by Rami Imam. All set for her return to the big screen, the star gears up for her comeback with not one, but three Vogue Arabia covers for our April 2023 issue. The April 2023 issue also amplifies the importance of family bonds during the Holy Month. In our Families of Ramadan section, Somali Canadian model Sabrina Elba poses with mother Maryam Egal as the two talk about their special relationship. No celebratory time is truly complete without food. While the Holy Month focuses on self-improvement and abstaining from indulgence, it’s also a time of celebrating the culture and cuisines that make the Middle East unique. Cue Shadin Hamdan, the 25-year-old Palestinian-American baker who is preserving—you may even say promoting—the very DNA of Palestinian culture with her Kanafa Cups business. Also on our radar this month? Vogue Arabia’s edit of the most exciting kaftans—think OTT embellishment, dramatic ruffles, and rich jewel tones—to the boldest eye makeup trends, as seen on Emirati filmmaker Sarah Alhashimi.
