Egyptian President Abdel al-Fattah al-Sisi’s daughter, Aya al-Sisi, sparked widespread interest after her appearance at the opening of the Strategic Command headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, due to her striking white dress styled after ancient Egypt. The dress featured hieroglyphic embroidery on the sleeves, carrying a symbolic message related to Egyptian identity and heritage. Designed by Egyptian designer Maram Burhan, the dress featured sleeves embroidered with a message written in ancient Egyptian. The message in hieroglyphs Burhan explained the dress’s embroidery on her Instagram account, explaining that the gold embroidery on the dress carries a phrase expressing very important meanings, written in hieroglyphs using special gold threads. Its meaning is: “In her eyes is a homeland, in her heart is history, and her heart is made of gold,” as a tribute to Egyptian heritage during a massive military and strategic event watched by millions. Other behind-the-scenes photos also attracted attention, showing Aya al-Sisi helping to arrange her father, President Sisi’s, military uniform before the opening ceremony. It was a touching moment that showed the relationship between a father and daughter, away from official protocols.
