Egypt’s dining scene has a new jewel as Nobu, the world-famous lifestyle and hospitality brand, makes its long-anticipated debut in the country. Now open at OGAMI, SODIC’s signature North Coast development, Nobu North Coast brings its celebrated blend of contemporary Japanese cuisine, timeless design, and world-class service to one of Egypt’s most popular summer destinations.

Designed by the internationally acclaimed Rockwell Group, the restaurant channels the spirit of the Mediterranean through Nobu’s signature design language of natural textures, light woods, and refined geometric accents. The setting caters to international travelers and Egypt’s coastal crowd, offering a destination where you’ll find both fine dining and the laid-back charm of the seaside.

Guests can expect Nobu classics like the famed Yellowtail Jalapeño alongside exclusive, locally inspired dishes crafted just for Egypt. Beyond the food, the space embodies the brand’s Kokoro philosophy, a heartfelt connection between design, service, and experience.

Founded by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, actor Robert De Niro, and producer Meir Teper, Nobu has grown into a global empire with 57 restaurants, 46 hotels, and 20 residences worldwide. With the opening of Nobu North Coast, Egypt joins the brand’s prestigious roster of destinations from Miami to Marbella.

More than just a restaurant

Nobu North Coast is just the beginning of a larger vision at OGAMI, SODIC’s 440-acre North Coast development. Recently named “Master Plan of the Year” at the 2025 Architecture Leaders Awards, OGAMI is designed as a complete lifestyle destination.

Next up are Nobu Residences, bringing the brand’s signature style to private homes, followed by a Nobu Hotel for a fully immersive coastal experience.

SODIC and Nobu also plan to expand beyond the North Coast, with hotels, restaurants, and residences coming to The Estates and Eastown District New Cairo (EDNC).

JOMO is real, and I found it on California’s rugged Bodega Bay coast
I took a trip to Bodega Bay. Here's why it's my favorite destination ever!
Sarah Joseph at Bodega Bay, CA

JOMO, also known as the joy of missing out, is the feeling of contentment that you get from deliberately opting out of social events, trends, or other activities. Unlike FOMO (fear of missing out), which causes anxiety over missing out on experiences, JOMO embraces the freedom of saying “no” to social pressures. This is exactly what I experienced on my recent trip to Bodega Bay, courtesy of Sonoma County Tourism, where I was able to escape the obligations of everyday life and reconnect with nature. From start to finish, the entire experience was magical. Here's a full recap of my visit, as well as some top recommendations on things to do in Bodega Bay while you're there.
Stay at The Lodge at Bodega Bay

The Lodge at Bodega Bay is a luxury hotel that was voted the #1 hotel in Northern California and the #1 hotel in the world in the 2024 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, and after going there myself, there’s no doubt about it. With stunning views of the ocean, top-tier amenities, and spotless modern rooms, The Lodge is easily among the top five hotels I’ve ever visited.

The Finger Lakes Region might be known for its wine, but don’t sleep on its beer
Come for the wine, but stay for the Finger Lakes beer
Big aLICe

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, it's that the area is an excellent spot for summer vacations, with eleven lakes spanning 9,000 square miles from the Syracuse region to Rochester. It's a fantastic area of the country for camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. It's also a well-known destination for wine-centric vacations due to its many wineries scattered throughout the lakes (over 130 wineries). But if you're only visiting the region for wine and hiking, you're missing out on some outstanding breweries. I've lived in the Finger Lakes Region for my whole life. I've noticed that, like in much of the country, in the last few decades, the area has become home to countless noteworthy, award-winning breweries with more seemingly springing up every few months.
