Egypt Approves 50 Billion Pound Investment to Boost Tourism

Egypt has recently authorized a substantial financial package worth 50 billion Egyptian pounds to bolster its tourism sector by expanding hotel capacities. This strategic initiative is projected to create around 45,000 new job opportunities, directly and indirectly, thereby supporting the government's efforts to combat unemployment through increased private-sector investment.

The allocated funds are specifically intended to enhance Egypt's tourism infrastructure and are prohibited from being used to settle existing banking sector debts. This condition underscores the government's commitment to the growth and revitalization of Egypt's tourism industry.

Moreover, this initiative aims to foster the development of new tourism offerings that capitalize on Egypt's rich cultural heritage and historic sites. By leveraging these assets, Egypt seeks to attract more tourists and enhance visitor experiences, thereby solidifying its position as a premier global tourism destination.

In conclusion, Egypt's decision to invest 50 billion pounds into its tourism sector represents a crucial step towards economic revitalization, job creation, and enhancing Egypt's international appeal as a tourism hub through focused infrastructure improvements and innovative tourism initiatives.

Reservations for Egypt Easter tours following the holiday week further indicate the revival of activities in Siwa Oasis during this period.

احلام اليقظه التى سرقت حياتي وسرقت حياتها

طالما كنت طفلة وحيده ، لا يرانى احد ، ما كنت الا وليدة لحياه لم يكن بها الا ابي وامي وجدتي ، يأتي الناس ويرحلون ، ثم ابقى انا بمفردي كطفله في الرابعه مع جدتها التي تكبرها بسبعين عام على الاقل..

اظن ان بدايه الامر كانت حينما رأيت امي تصرخ وتريد ان تحرق المنزل ، لا اتذكر التفاصيل، لم نتحدث عن هذة الحادثه كثيرا ، فقط اتذكر امي وهي تريد ان تفتح انبوبه الغاز وانا لم افهم ما تقصد ، فقط اختبئت خلف كرسي الصالون ، واخذت اكلم شخص غير موجود بأنني خائفه ، واخذ يطمئنني وان لن يحدث شئ ..ولا اتذكر اي شئ اخر.

في البدايه كنت اتصور نفسي كمدرسه اشرح لطلابي الدرس،مثلما ارى مدرستي الجميله عبير ، اراها وهي في منتهى الجمال تشرح لي مادتي المفضله الانجليزيه وانا في الصف الاول الابتدائي ، فقط اردت ان اكون مثلها ولم استطع.

تتطورت الاحلام حينما كبرت، اصبحت اشغل قناتي المفضله ميلودي ، والان يا اصدقائي احلامي ذات صوت و انا الصوره والمخرج ، اتخيل نفسي يحببني زميلي في الفصل واحببه و نرقص سويا على نغمات ميلودي.. لا اعلم كيف لم يلحظني احد من اهلى انني ارقص حرفيا مع حائط المنزل التي القيت عليها اسم أحمد.

تطور الامر اكثر حينما كنت في الاعدادي ، فقد كنت اقف بالساعات اجول بغرفتي حتى اتصور انني بمكان اخر مع اناس اخرون ، استمع الى نغمات تامر حسني وغيره ، وامثل المشهد للمره المليون حتى تتورم قدماي.

استمر الامر لسنوات ، اضحك وابكي امام الحيطان ، حتى انني اتصور ان كتابه هذا المقال ما هو الا فتش سر بيني وبين حوائط منزلي التي كانت دائما اقرب اصدقائي.

لم يخدعني احد فيهم ابدا، ولم يضحك على لأنني بدينه ولا لأنني اتوتر حين اتحدث ، كانوا دائما لطفاء ومحبين ، كانوا دائما حينما يروني حزينه يحاولوا جبر خاطري ، هذا الشئ الذى لم يفعله أبي ، اردت فقط اعتذار وتفهم ، فوجدت صمت عقابي للابد.

سافتقد الحيطان ، سافتقد المشاعر التي لم اعشها لأنني حبست نفسي في غرفتي وانا اتحدث للفراغ ، لأن الفراغ لن يجرحني ولن يجعلني اخاف ..وانا اخاف كثيرا جدا من الناس ومن نفسي..

ربما لو عدت بالزمن واخبرت الفتاه الخائفه وراء الكرسي انني مازلت خائفه ،لقالت لي وهي طفله عقلها يسبق سنها : اوعي تعملي كده تاني ،لو انتي مش هاتطمنيني مين هيطمني؟ دي مش غلطتي انك مسئوله عني!

سأرد لك الدين ، ولن اتركك خائفه وراء كرسي الصالون ، اعدك.

ROYAL JEWELRY MUSEUM IN ALEXANDRIA

The Royal Jewelry Museum in Alexandria is a stunning museum that houses a collection of royal jewelry from Egypt’s history. The museum is in the historic Citadel of Alexandria. The Citadel was once the seat of power for the Pharaohs and later the rulers of Egypt. The museum’s collection includes a wide range of jewelry and artifacts. It includes crowns, necklaces, bracelets, and other ornaments that were once worn by Egypt’s royalty.

History of the Royal jewelry museum

The museum houses major jewelry pieces and art acquisitions of the dynasty of Muhammad Ali and his descendants. They ruled Egypt for nearly 150 years from 1805 until the 1952 movement. The mother of Princess Fatima had completed the construction of the western wing before her death, when her daughter had reached the age of eighteen. Princess Fatima added an eastern wing to the palace and linked the two wings with a beautiful corridor. The Palace remained in use for summer residence until July 1952. This was until 1964, when Princess Fatima al-Zahra’ “ceded” the palace to the Egyptian government and left for Cairo. Princess Fatima al-Zahra died in 1983.

Following 1952, the jewelry left by the Royal Family was kept secure and unseen until a 1986 decree by President Mubarak was issued to assign Princess Fatima Al-Zahra’ Palace in Alexandria as a special museum to house those pieces.

The government renovated and developed the museum in 1986 and 1994. Since late 2004, the Supreme Council of Antiquities has begun a comprehensive development and restoration process for the museum at an cost of 10 million Egyptian pounds. with the aim of increasing its capacity to accommodate more valuable exhibits in stores that visitors have not yet seen, and the museum opened again in April 2010.

Description

The Royal Jewelry Museum is a fascinating destination for anyone interested in the history of Egypt and its royalty. The museum’s collection offers a unique glimpse into the lives of Egypt’s rulers and the symbols and motifs that were important to them. The museum’s exhibits are beautifully and provide a rich context for understanding the cultural and historical significance of the jewelry and artifacts on display.

In addition to its stunning collection of royal jewelry, the Royal Jewelry Museum also offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of the Citadel of Alexandria and the role it played in Egypt’s history. The museum’s exhibits include information about the various rulers who have governed Egypt throughout history, as well as the architectural and cultural significance of the Citadel itself.
