About Mimi El Ashiry
@mimielashiry
Mimi El-Ashiry has spent her life performing, She started Modelling from the age of 2 & Dancing competitvely at the age of 5. Although her life and successful career in fashion for the last decade has pulled her in many different directions, in 2019 she decided to switch her priorities from work to chasing her passion. She moved to Melbourne & Studied Contemporary Dance, Full time, for two years, with the intention of improving my technical ability, facility, but she soon realised her biggest learning was not getting closer to perfection, It was the UNLEARNING of years of learning classical technique & letting go. Shifting from thinking MIND into FEELING BODY. She began to weave Free movement and Manifestation into my personal practice, and soon realised ANYONE can do this. Anyone can let go of the rigid idea of what they THINK dance has to be, and Express themselves Authentically through Movement” This exploration of movement and hosting workshops at Festivals, Retreats and Summits internationally has led her to complete a Yoga Teacher training and dive into other somatic modalities to further her ability to share her gifts.

About Mit Rehan 
@villamitrehan

Mit Rehan, located in Sakkara, Egypt, is a farmhouse designed by the renowned Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy in 1980. This architectural marvel blends traditional Islamic design with sustainable methods. Constructed using locally sourced limestone from the Muqattam quarries, the house is built to withstand the desert climate, incorporating natural ventilation systems and passive cooling techniques.

Fathy combined Nubian mud-building techniques with Islamic architectural elements like the malqaf (wind catcher), mashrabeya (lattice screens), and qa’a (central room). The home’s thick limestone walls provide natural insulation, keeping the interior cool during the hot summer and warm during the winter. The central courtyard and dome design further enhance airflow, ensuring a comfortable environment.

Mit Rehan spans 5000 square meters with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an expansive outdoor courtyard. The layout of the house revolves around the interplay between the indoor living spaces and the exterior courtyard, with high domes allowing hot air to rise, keeping living spaces cool.

This residence serves as a reflection of Fathy’s architectural philosophy, which emphasizes using local materials and sustainable design practices. It stands as a testament to vernacular architecture that harmonizes with its environment while preserving cultural heritage.

Today, Mit Rehan continues to be a serene space, embodying the rich legacy of Hassan Fathy and offering a retreat into Egypt’s architectural past.
