Prince Muhammad Ali of Egypt and Princess Noal Zaher of Afghanistan prepare for their royal wedding Prince Muhammad Ali of Egypt and Princess Noal Zaher of Afghanistan prepare for their royal weddingPrince Muhammad Ali of Egypt and Princess Noal Zaher, granddaughter of King Zaher Shah of Afghanistan, are busy preparing for their impending royal wedding. The couple, who announced their engagement on 27 April 2013, are set to tie the knot on 30 August at the Palace of Çirağan on the European shores of the Istanbul Strait in Turkey.Muhammad and Noal's union is unusual nowadays as the decedants of two royal households rarely marry one another as this was far more common in the past. The Egyptian prince was born in Cairo in 1979 and is the eldest son of Fuad II, the last king of Egypt, giving him the title of Prince of Sa'id. Muhammad's father only reigned for the first few months of his childhood until the Egyptian Revolution in 1952, although his son remains the heir to the currently abolished Muhammad Ali dynasty.Today Prince Muhammad resides in Paris where he works in real estate and met his princess during a holiday in Istanbul.From left to right: Prince Muhammad Ali, Noal Zaher's mother, Fatima Aref Begum, Muhammad's father, King Fuad II and Princess Noal ZaherPrincess Noal Zaher was born in 1980 in the Italian capital of Rome and her father is Mohammed Daoud Khan Pachtounyar, the fifth son of the last king of Afghanistan Zahir Shah and his queen, Homeira.Noal Zaher graduated from the famous French university Institut Saint-Dominique with a degree in European Business before specialising in jewellery design at Webster University in London.Noal Zaher and her fiancé were joined by members of their family, including a delighted King Fuad II and Noal Zaher's mother, Fatima Aref Begum, for some official portraits to commemorate their engagement.

Lost in Time: Groovy Afghanistan A cautionary tale of a vibrant and thriving culture lost in time, these photographs collected on a community Facebook page in Afghanistan are likely to leave you in disbelief. The country we’re so often shown today is comparable to a broken medieval society, but not so long ago, the barren landscape was dotted with stylish buildings, women wore pencil skirts and teenagers shopped at record stores.As you browse the photos that capture progress, hope and that rock’n'roll spirit in the air, keep in mind the implications of what happened to this culture in just a few decades.Above: Afghan women in the 1940sTypical Kabuli Fashion in the 60′s- 70′sMohammad Qayoumi grew up in Kabul during the 60s and 70s and many of his photographs are featured on the Facebook page’s collection. This is the Afghanistan he remembers:A half-century ago, Afghan women pursued careers in medicine; men and women mingled casually at movie theaters and university campuses in Kabul; factories in the suburbs churned out textiles and other goods. There was a tradition of law and order, and a government capable of undertaking large national infrastructure projects, like building hydropower stations and roads, albeit with outside help. Ordinary people had a sense of hope, a belief that education could open opportunities for all, a conviction that a bright future lay ahead. All that has been destroyed by three decades of war, but it was real.This was Afghanistan…A record store in Kabul, 1960sAfghan performersAriana Afghan Airlines flight attendantsKabul, 1960sKandahar Airport built in the 1960sForeign visitors camping in Band-e Amir 1970′sRoad tripping in Afghanistan!Mothers and children at a city playground.Kabul University Students at graduation 1960sA class/meeting for women – around 1980Classroom in Kabul, 1960s“Biology class, Kabul University.”– In the 1950s and ’60s, women were able to pursue professional careers in fields such as medicine. Today, schools that educate women are a target for violence, even more so than five or six years ago.Fashion designer Safia Tarzi in her Kabul studio, 1969Textil store window displayAfghan ladies at Kabul AirportWhen Afghanistan was in Vogue, December 1969..In 1969, this was the Afghanistan that greeted the American Vogue team, when they arrived at Kabul’s International airport.
