An extensive feature on Cairo, a photographic portfolio by Malak El Sawi, an exclusive interview with Emmanuel Grégoire, conversations with Christian Louboutin and Christophe Honoré, and an exploration of Paris after dark: for its third issue, out on 18 November 2026, CITY continues to explore the world’s great cities through the people who bring them to life.

CAIRO: A CREATIVE FORCE
At the heart of this issue is an extensive feature on Cairo, accompanied by a photographic portfolio by Malak El Sawi. Moving beyond familiar stereotypes, CITY meets the people reshaping the Egyptian capital’s cultural identity, where heritage meets the avant-garde.
From electronic musician 3Phaz to dance collective Nasa4Nasa, from Nadia Wassef, co-founder of Diwan bookshops, to chef Somaya, and Youssef Shazli, founder of Zawya cinema, the feature reveals a thriving cultural scene. It also pays tribute to Hany Shenouda, a major figure in contemporary Egyptian music. Through Malak El Sawi’s intimate lens, CITY captures the pulse of the Egyptian capital, from its streets to its creative spaces.

PARIS AFTER DARK
Echoing Cairo, CITY explores a side of Paris far removed from the postcards: a city that works, creates and dances long after sunset. From backstage at the Moulin Rouge to the nights of the Bus Palladium, from restaurant kitchens to nightclub doors, the magazine gives a voice to those who keep the capital alive after dark. Jenny Bel’Air and Isaak Dessaux embody two generations and two visions of nightlife. A series of portraits extends this exploration, featuring Moulin Rouge dancer Allie Goodbun, chef Marcin Krol, young rapper XOBO and the latest talents to join the Comédie-Française.
Emmanuel Grégoire, Christian Louboutin, Christophe Honoré: Three Perspectives on Paris
In an exclusive in-depth interview, Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire discusses the capital’s future, its contradictions and the challenges it faces. CITY also meets Christian Louboutin, whose creative universe has a distinctive connection to both Paris and Egypt, and filmmaker Christophe Honoré, who reflects on his work and inspirations. Three personalities, three perspectives on a city in constant transformation.
