May takes us on an incredible artistic journey as we interview some of the creative talents in our region. Our Up Close and Personal feature brings us stunning imagery from the depths of the ocean as we interview Meshal Al Omar about his passion for nature. As for this month's cover and feature, it hails from beautiful Cairo, where Paris born and bred Tunisian calligraffiti artist el Seed created a mural in Cairo's Zaraeeb area. Shedding a bright light on this forgotten suburb of Cairo, the mural cites - in Arabic - Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, a Coptic Bishop from the 3rd century, ‘Anyone who wants to see the light clearly needs to wipe his eyes first.’ Flip through and enjoy as summer slowly makes its way upon us. Happy reading!
