Stay In and Stream the Best of Disney+ This Summer
Some seasons are for going out. Summer is for staying in, turning the AC all the way up, and finally getting through that watchlist you've been adding to all year. Between the heat and long summer evenings, there's no better time to settle in with your next binge-watch. Whether you're in the mood for a blockbuster everyone's talking about, a K-drama that keeps you up past midnight, or a documentary that's guaranteed to get people talking, here are six titles worth making time for this summer.
BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES
The biggest films of the year, ready for your next movie night.
20th Century Studios' Avatar: Fire and Ash
James Cameron returns to Pandora with the third instalment in the Avatar franchise, as Jake and Neytiri face their greatest challenge yet in the form of the Ash People, a Na'vi clan driven by loss and vengeance. Expanding the world of Pandora in breathtaking new ways, Fire and Ash is visually spectacular, emotionally powerful and packed with epic action, making it one of this year's biggest blockbuster releases.
20th Century Studios' Send Help
From director Sam Raimi comes a darkly comedic thriller that is equal parts tense and wildly entertaining. When a plane crash leaves two feuding colleagues stranded on a deserted island as the only survivors, what starts as a fight for survival quickly turns into something far more psychological. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien are electric together, the kind of on-screen chemistry that makes every scene impossible to look away from. Think you know where it's going? You don't.
KOREAN DRAMAS
Addictive stories packed with twists, romance and edge-of-your-seat moments.
A Shop for Killers Season 2
Named one of The New York Times' Best TV Shows of 2024, A Shop for Killers returns with an action-packed second season that raises the stakes even further. Jian and her uncle Jin-man take the fight directly to Babylon, a mercenary organisation that doesn't lose, delivering even more high-octane action, suspense and unexpected twists. With season two premiering on Disney+ on July 22, now is the perfect time to catch up on the gripping first season before Jian and Jin-man’s story continues.
The Husband
Namkoong Min leads this gripping romantic thriller as Kang Tae-joo, a neurosurgeon-turned-hospital director whose world is turned upside down when a ruthless criminal kidnaps his wife. What unfolds is a tense, emotional, and completely absorbing story that balances heart and suspense in equal measure. It’s the kind of K-drama that reminds you exactly why the genre has taken the region by storm.
DOCUMENTARIES
From legendary players to unforgettable tournaments, these are stories every football fan should watch.
Last Train to North America: Season 1
Football is about more than just what happens on the pitch, and Last Train to North America proves exactly that. Blending sport with culture and travel, the series explores the host nations one of the biggest football tournaments, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the people, places and stories shaping the world's biggest sporting event. Whether you're counting down to kick-off or reliving the excitement, it's the perfect watch for any football fan.

The award recognizes leaders whose sustained efforts have played a transformative role in empowering entrepreneurs, fostering innovation, and building a more dynamic startup ecosystem. Presented by one of the Middle East and Africa's leading university-based startup accelerators, the honor highlights Ibrahim's long-standing commitment to advancing education, entrepreneurship, and human capital development.
Under Ibrahim's leadership, Nahdet Misr has evolved into an integrated learning ecosystem, while EdVentures has become one of the MENA region's pioneering corporate venture capital funds focused on education technology (EdTech). The company supports startups through funding, strategic mentorship, market access, partnerships, and ecosystem-building initiatives across Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East.
Commenting on the recognition, Ibrahim said receiving the award from AUC Venture Lab carries special significance given the accelerator's influential role in shaping Egypt's entrepreneurial landscape.
"As education and workforce needs continue to evolve, our responsibility extends beyond investing in startups to building ecosystems where entrepreneurs can innovate, scale, and create lasting impact," she said. "I am grateful to AUC Venture Lab for this recognition and remain optimistic about the next generation of founders who are shaping the future of education and human capital across our region."
The latest recognition comes shortly after EdVentures was named Global Investor of the Year at the Global Startup Awards 2026, following its earlier recognition as MENA and Africa Investor of the Year. The company was selected from more than 70,000 applicants representing 62 countries, highlighting its growing influence in supporting innovation-driven startups and education-focused ventures.
Since its establishment in 2017, EdVentures has supported 108 startups and invested in 29 companies operating across more than 25 countries.

The accelerator has received multiple regional and international recognitions for its contribution to entrepreneurship development across Egypt and the MENA region.
