unusual facts about Mona El-Ghobashy



Ibrahim Aslan

Aslan is best known for his first novel Malek al-Hazin (1983), translated by Elliott Colla under the English title The Heron; and its sequel 16 years later called As-safir al-Nil (1999), translated as Nile Sparrows by Mona El-Ghobashy.

Mona El-Saghir

In 2008, El Saghir introduced TV ratings, when episodes of the controversial show The Bold and the Beautiful were aired semi uncut with an intro-screen warning parents that the show was suitable for "Adults Only".

Reem Maged

Maged's hosting of individuals critical of the Egyptian military and its handling of the post-revolution period has led her to be summoned for questioning by military authorities, and at one point pro-SCAF demonstrators displayed banners at a protest that called for her execution, along with fellow Egyptian television hosts Mona el-Shazly, Lamis Elhadidy and Amr Adib.
