<p>Founder and CEO of "Mawlay Experience",&nbsp;Dina El Sabban&nbsp;was Nile FM's guest on "The Big Fast" and she talked about the unique concept of "Mawlay Experience" and how it all started.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How did you decide that "Mawlay Experience" was something that you wanted to do? And How did you manage to bring it to Abdeen Palace?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>The whole thing started in 2021 at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization during the golden parade, and everyone was excited about it, and it started in Ramadan.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The concept started because I thought that nobody was going to visit the museum during Ramadan in the morning, so why not do something related to opening the museum at night, I got excited about the idea of having " A Night at the Museum" concept, so you open the museum at night, you go in, you check the museum out after the iftar or suhoor, because it's Ramadan.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next year when we went to the citadel, I was thinking of Abdeen palace, I was passing by every day around the same area where the Abdeen Palace is, and I was always like "Wow, this place is amazing!", and I knew that you can't just go visit it, like the other places that you can just go in and visit.</p>
<p><strong>You mentioned that the "Mawlay Experience" it's not just about the food, so&nbsp;what does the experience entail?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>The most important thing about the concept that no one else does is that we provide iftar and suhoor, and the experience is the tour, so wherever we are, there's something to visit, there's something to see, so now that we are in Abdeen palace you get to have a 30+ minutes tour around the palace.&nbsp;Our location is the royal dining hall in Abdeen Palace, where the king and the queen used to have their friends over.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year we have four incredible locations we started with Abdeen Palace from the 16th of March till the 23rd, then we will be moving to&nbsp;Qubba Palace from the 25th of March till the 2nd of April, at the same time we will be having special tours and special visits to&nbsp;Tahra Palace, and then we are going to Alexandria for the first time, we are going to&nbsp;Al-Haramlik Palace in Montaza.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Can you tell us more about the menus?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We have a different menu for Cairo,&nbsp;we have a different menu for Tahra, and we have a different menu for Alexandria.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And because after the first few days of Ramadan, people get bored from eating the oriental food that we eat every day, we decided to have a fusion Italian menu.</p>
<p><strong>Can you tell us more about your background in the food and beverage industry?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>The whole thing started because I love food, and I used to cook for family and friends and they used to say that my food was really nice, then I decided that I'm going to take it to the next level and go work in F&amp;B (Food and beverages), so I worked a little bit in catering and then I decided to take it to another level, and I wanted to study to be a chief in Paul&nbsp;Bocuse institute in L&eacute;on, France, and then I studied the operational management of the F&amp;B industry.&nbsp;</p>
