Would you fall in love with a robot?

Have you met Sophia yet?

Well she is the most famous social humanoid robot on earth now. Sophia was designed and programmed to talk, walk, react, and think like humans. She also has human like face and voice. She is the first robot to moderate discussion panels at huge international summits. Moreover, Sophia is the first robot in history to receive a citizenship of any country and it’s a Saudi one. When interviewed for TV, Sophia said that she would like to have family and children. This is the beginning of a new era on planet Earth. Some scientists predict that within ten years we will not be able to tell whether the person you meet in the street is human or robot!

Aside from science and predictions, the idea popped up in my head; what if I get to choose everything about my partner? With advanced generations of human- like robots, imagine one can program his / her lover?! This means a lot of advantages:

1- No one will be lonely any more. You can always head to the nearest store and buy yourself a new partner.

2- It will only take few buttons to program your partner the way suits you best. In other words the old battles of changing each other will be history. Forget about spending years trying to adjust to a new person which doesn’t work all the time. With few buttons your new robot partner will learn that you like to sleep in front of the TV, you’re on diet so no ordering pizza for dinner and high school reunions does mean you’re going to meet you old lover!

3- Most important there will be no cheating. For the first time we’ll have the option not to enter infidelity in the robot’s program. The concept of cheating will demolish for good. On the contrary, you get to set the robot to be loyal and faithful. Now what do you really think about that? Amazing, isn’t it?

4- Imagine that you actually can set your robot to be romantic and affectionate. You can upload all love words and gestures you like. So no one will be emotionally deprived anymore. If one can set the timing as well, that will be great. I like to imagine that I have the option to regulate time for love, humor, games etc.

5- If I have a robot partner, there will be no crying or fighting. A robot shall never blame you for anything, or pick a fight with you just because it had a rough day at work.

6- It shall be a very relaxed relation; pretty much suitable for selfish people. They will program the robot to do them everything they like. From their side, they will give nothing, only charge the robot.

For all the above and more, I can’t find a reason why wouldn’t I fall in love with a robot. I honestly can’t count the blessings of having a robot partner although not everyone will agree with me. Some rejected the idea, because they claim they can’t love someone who doesn’t have a beating heart. This takes us to two different arguments. First, which is easier, we can ask scientists to add a beating heart to robots or at least add the sound!

Second, if you really want to love someone with a beating heart, why do you always tend to kill this someone? We tend to take out the lives of our partner by imposing our own likes and dislikes, opinions, dreams and goals on them. Unconsciously, we want our partners to live for us instead of sharing a life together. So when you do this, do you think your partner is alive anymore? I believe this is more common with men. A lot of men in our eastern societies fiercely reshape the lives of their partners to meet their goals with no consideration for what the woman wants.

If you think having a robot partner is an extremist idea, please look again at our human relationships. Why do humans insist on changing their partners? Can’t we, especially Arab countries, learn to accept our lovers the way they are? If you think to yourself that there are a number of things you need to change about your partner, then you need a robot not a human being. If you can’t be in a relationship without lying and cheating, then you need a cuddling toy. If you were never able to understand your partner’s needs, then you definitely need a machine not a lover.

If you reject the idea of having a robot partner, and you want the human race to continue on this planet, then do your homework. We need to listen to each others’ desires and wishes. We have to learn to be tolerant, and take the time needed as couples to adjust to a new life together. We need to have faith in our relationships. Work on strengthen your love relation and invest in it, otherwise it will never grow to satisfy you. Learn to give as much as you want to take from your partner. The list can go on and on, or I can just say: be true to your relationship. Always remember that your partner is also a human being who needs to be loved and cherished the same way you do. If your’ against having robot partners, please respect the human race.

This summer season, LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT is helping sun-seekers savour the good life and the beauty of Golden Hour with its own take on Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts’ global brand programme, Au Soleil by Le Méridien.

Personifying the laid-back elegance of European summers and the allure of the Côte d’Azur, this season’s global programme revolves around ‘Golden Hour,’ the magical hour at the end of the day under the sun – a sacred moment in time to slow down and indulge in simple pleasures through all the senses.

Beginning June 2022 LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT will invite travellers to soak in the summer season and Golden Hour, both on- and off-property:

The Hotel will feature a How to Summer Guide, dedicated Petit Plates menu offering Mediterranean inspired mini baguettes perfectly paired rosé spritzers and aperitifs, part of the brand’s signature Sparkling Programme. In addition, Le Méridien is bringing modern twist to classic games traditionally enjoyed outdoors during warm weather days such as the iconic backgammon, as well as, poolside chess and other timeless summer pastimes both to-go and as an oversized option, inviting guests to linger a little longer, with an exclusive warm weather soundtrack, curated by French Bossa Nova collective Nouvelle Vague.

Au Soleil Stay Package at LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT

Beginning June 1 through October 31, LE MÉRIDIEN CAIRO AIRPORT will offer a special Au Soleil stay package that includes daily breakfast and a complimentary Le Scoop by Le Méridien gelato or sorbet, Au Soleil brunch and Au Soleil movie night every weekend

On-Property Experiences that Salute Golden Hour

From relaxing rosé and backgammon to bronzing in the afternoon sun, travellers visiting LE MÉRIDIEN Cairo Airport will be able to capture the spirit of Au Soleil in a variety of ways:

● A dedicated Petit Plates menu, offering Mediterranean-inspired mini baguettes and local light bites – from oysters to grilled fish – all with perfectly paired rosé spritzers and aperitifs, part of the brand’s signature Sparkling programme.

● A modern twist to classic games traditionally enjoyed outdoors during warm weather days, such as the iconic seaside pastime of backgammon, as well as tic-tac-toe, poolside chess and chic modernist-style Jenga sets.

● Le Scoop by Le Méridien, featuring various flavors of gelato and sorbet – incorporating authentic ingredients like bright green pistachios from Sicily, as well as fragrant vanilla beans from Madagascar – reminiscent of a glamourous, sunny summer spent on the French Riviera. Le Scoop is designed to be enjoyed while taking part in the European summer tradition of a “passeggiata” to unlock the destination’s locale. “Passeggiata” is an Italian term referring to a traditional evening stroll in the town’s piazza.

● An exclusive summer soundtrack, curated by French Bossa Nova collective Nouvelle Vague, inviting guests to lounge a little longer.

● A distinctive on-property design aesthetic, evoking the spirit of Au Soleil and the playful glamour of endless European summers for travellers all year round.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, MARVEL’S LOGO OPENS TO THE UNIQUE ARAB TRAP BY EGYPT’S HOMEGROWN TALENT DJ KABOO ON THE LATEST EPISODE OF MOONKNIGHT, HITTING THE SERIES’ WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE WITH EGYPTIAN CLASSIC. The new show, directed by renowned Egyptian director and producer Mohammed Diab, showcases current Egyptian talent with one of the Middle East’s rising Egyptian DJs and music producers well as Dubai’s star disc jockey, DJ Kaboo being one of them. Already having his first track “Arab Trap Made in Egypt” featured in the premier episode of the series which sampled “Khosara” by Abdel Halim Hafez which was licensed by Mazzika group. His second track “Enta” which is the fourth track of his Arab Trap E.P. sampling “Batwanes Beek” by Warda being the new hit track that stole the show on the third episode of Moon Knight, with the track not only being used for both the intro and the credits of the episode but being added to Marvel’s official playlist, taking Egyptian music and Kaboo to a whole new level on the global stage!
A Dubai’s club regular scene since becoming the 2013, Pioneer’s DJ Middle East champion, he was driven by his passion of mixing-and-mastering old popular Arab tracks in hopes of introducing the culture to a global audience. He honed his music production talents to carve a new sub-genre of “Arab Trap” releasing the powerful “Arab Trap Made in Egypt” in 2018, followed up by his Arab Trap E.P. in 2020. This string of successes led to him being known as the “Arab Trap King”, earning his place among the scene’s elite.
The Arab Trap king was presented with the amazing chance to have his tracks featured in Marvel’s new series in late 2021. Following the unbelievable opportunity, he contacted his manager, Carousel’s CEO Daliah Galal to take it to the next level, where she helped seal the deal. Marvel ended up taking both tracks which sampled the popular classic tracks from the Arab world. Kaboo was enthusiastic with the new series’ potential of exposing the world to a fresh and revitalized take on classic Egyptian and Arab music with an injection of modern trap elements for a new and energetic audience.

Kaboo performed with prominent global artists such as Drake and Rihanna as well as Arab superstar Mohamed Ramadan, with him being the official DJ for Rihanna’s 2018 Fenty Dubai Launch Party and later on he became Mohamed Ramadan’s official DJ in 2021. Who he had notable performances with at the 2022 Middle East music festival. This recent collaboration with Marvel stands to elevate Kaboo’s efforts to explore and introduce to the world his unique “Arab Trap” style with him as one of the rising stars in the region’s music scene with this being his time to introduce the rich Middle Eastern flavor to the world!
