English term or phrase: Uniquely
"Uniquely Singapore": This is the thematic statement repeated all over the pages on a web site. I was thinking ... how would you translate that into Arabic in a stylish advertising attractive Arabic?

Any suggestions?

Arabic translation:فقط في سنغافورة
Explanation:
The term "uniquely" defines something that happens in Singapore, not Singapore itself. If it was defining Singapore, it should be "unique Singapore", not "uniquely". As an example, the feel and touch of Khan Al-Khalili is "uniquely Cairo" because there is no other Khan Alkhalili. A dry outback with a hopping roo, or the Great Barrier Reef would be "uniquely Australia", etc.

سنغافورة المتلألئة


Explanation:
I think we don't have to stick to the literal translation of the word, we cab use an attractive word that is more common in Arabic in such context
