World's Most Congested Cities - and Cairo is one of them!!!

Cities with the highest density of population per square kilometer are the logical candidates for becoming the most congested, because congestion increases as the growth in their wealth increases the number of cars versus the less expensive alternatives of bicycles, motor scooters or motorcycles. Cars take up more room whether they are in motion or when parked--if they can be parked. U.S. and European cities have often chosen to place garages in new buildings, while older nonindustrialized cities often lack such amenities. Cars may therefore be parked everywhere, legally or illegally. The cities with the highest level of population congestion are: Manila, the Philippines; Cairo, Egypt ; Lagos, Nigeria; Macau, off the Chinese coast; Seoul, South Korea; Dhaka, Bangladesh; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Jakarta, Indonesia; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; and Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic. To drive a car in any of them might be the ultimate challenge.Well over 50 million cars are being manufactured i

FISHING IN EGYPT

Usually when people think about fishing in Egypt, they think of Hurghada, Sharm, or Nasser Lake where they can rent a boat or sometimes even fish off of a dock. However, fishing in Egypt is much simpler than that. I got in my car and started my journey on the west bank of the Nile in Cairo. I passed Imbaba, Wara', and then I passed the Ring Road. I thought I was lost, so I asked around about a famous bridge where people fish. One man was very helpful and told me to go straight until I reached a bridge called El Galatma. After traveling about 20 kilometers, I found the Galatma Bridge. It is an old bridge with many gardens and trees all around it. I parked my car and went to walk on the bridge. One of the main means of transportation there was the donkey and people looked so cute riding them. The Nile looked very clear and calm. There are two little bridges beside the Galatma Bridge where people stand and fish.

PRICES IN EGYPT

That is a deeper topic and can not be limited just for prices; it is a political, economy and history of Egyptian regime since 55 years So it is so surface when you just feel sorry just for prices? No do not be sorry Egyptian will always manage. And will survive we never need any sympathy of any one. But if you like to talk about Egyptian political stand? Economic situation? Education? Government? Private sectors? Egyptian low? Etc Human Right for Egyptian? And you have to talk about all of those factors than you can talk about the prices because it is one out come of all that factors.

You look just your dad. Did you remember to lock the back door? The ceiling needs painting. And to think, I was really hoping to get picked up by your friend!

Hang on, I won't be a sec. Sorry about that ~ must be the baked beans.

Nile

Egypt is the Nile. From ancient times to the building of the Aswan Dam, the unpredictable Nile shaped the country and its people. The yearly flooding led to the development of mathematical, astronomical, and engineering knowledge way in advance of other civilizations. Planning for the years when the harvest was poor led to the development of government and a system of laws. That Egypt has survived for 6000 years is due to the bounty of the Nile. Life along the Nile has changed little over the millennium. The water of the Nile varies according to the weather. It is hot when it is hot and cold when it is cold.

suggestions for A trip

See the Pyramids!! its a MUST. cairo museum, you need a good whole day you might like the Pharonic Village Khan el Khalili is an absolute MUST The Citadel Saqqara (The Step Pyramid) is worth a visit. It's easy to do Giza and Saqqara together. Often, people rush too much to enjoy the beauty of this amazing city. Take time to enjoy the parks, the river walks, Zamalek, views from Cairo Tower. Garden City and downtown, Islamic and Old Cairo. Take a motorlaunch trip or enjoy the beauty of a felluca at sunset. Enjoy the very modern malls, as well as the traditional markets.

I work with cancer breast ladies daily ,as they undergo imaging of their breasts . Anyway , i wanna stress that annual mammographic asessment after age of 40 is of extreme importance ... Maybe breast self examination( BSE) incraesed DETECTION but i find it difficult to believe it increased incidence . more women are seeking advice when feeling new lumps in their breasts , sometimes too small to be felt on regular clinical exams ..and many times they were only felt coz she was examiing herself not because it is a remarkably felt lump . Breast cancer is a curable cancer , and it is really crucial if discovered early , sometimes it presents without a felt mass ! and in many instances it is dicovered on annual imaging performed for screening , before it is palapable for the doctor or the lady herself .. again , it doesn't have to present with a lump ...!!!! i saw frequesnt cases where , we locate suspicious calcifications and when they are taken out by a biopsy they turn out to

Siwa

The area is famous for its dates and olives, and is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Egpt. Olives oil is still made in the area by crushing the olives from the 70,000 olive trees in the area with stones. The dates are gathered by zaggala (stick bearers), who must remain celibate until the age of forty, and the area boasts some 300,000 date trees. It is located on the old date caravan route, yet until recently, it received few other visitors and retained much of its heritage. In fact, until the battles which took place around the oasis in World War II, it was hardly governed by Egypt, and remained mostly a Berber (Zenatiya) community for the prior thirteen centuries. Siwans continue to have their own culture and customs and they speak a Berber language, called Siwi, rather than Arabic. Interestingly, each October there is a three-day festival during which Siwans must settle all of their past year's disputes.

Therapeutic Tourist Sites

Tourist sites offering curative services in Egypt include Helwan, Hurghada, the Fayoum Oases, Aswan, Sinai, and Safaga on the Red Sea coast, among others. Aswan's dry weather is ideal for enjoying sand bathing during the period from May to September. Sand bathing is useful for curing various diseases such as rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. In Aswan, many hotels have physiotherapy centers manned by efficient and highly trained staff experienced in various types of massage therapy. Moreover, rheumatoid patients can be treated in hot sands surrounding the mountains. The calm and beautiful landscape and pollution free environment also contribute to speedy recovery. Aswan, clear sunshine all the year round together with extremely dry weather provide an ideal atmosphere for curing rheumatism and bronchial asthma. Further south, Abu Simbel, with its high rate of ultraviolet rays and a low humidity rate during the period from December to March, also provide a congenial environment f

Egyptians Living Above Tombs Agree to Go

LUXOR, Egypt -- After six decades of wrangling, Egyptians living in the hills near Luxor have agreed to move out and give tourists and archaeologists access to nearly 1,000 Pharaonic tombs that lie beneath their homes, the government said Saturday. Officials said most of 3,200 families in the brightly painted, mud-brick houses have agreed to pack up and move to a $32 million residential complex being built three miles away. No deadline for moving has been set and there is no target date for finishing the complex. "Most of them want to leave and they demand to leave," said Rania Yusuf, a spokeswoman for Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities in Luxor. Only a few families continue to resist, "and they will leave, believe me," Yusuf said. The government began trying to get the families to leave after World War II, but talks repeatedly bogged down. Many residents, who depend on Luxor's tourist business to earn livings, argued that new homes being offered were t

THE NEW MUMMY

Cairo, Dec 06: Egyptian archaeologists have discovered the funerary remains of a doctor who lived more than 4,000 years ago, including his mummy, sarcophagus and bronze surgical instruments. The upper part of the tomb was discovered in 2000 at Saqqara, 20 km (12 miles) south of Cairo, and the sarcophagus came to light in the burial pit during cleaning work, state news agency MENA said on Tuesday, quoting Egyptian government antiquities chief Zahi Hawass. The doctor, whose name was Qar, lived under the 6th dynasty and built his tomb near Egypt`s first pyramid. The 6th dynasty ruled from about 2350 to 2180 BC. Hawass said the lid of the wooden sarcophagus had excellent and well-preserved decoration and the mummy itself was in ideal condition. "The linen wrappings and the funerary drawings on the mummy are still as they were," he said. "The mask which covers the face of the mummy is in an amazing state of preservation in spite of slight damage in the area of the mouth."

Felucca

Felucca trips start in Aswan and stop at the most important sites of antiquity along the river before reaching Luxor. While in Aswan, waiting for final arrangements to be made, there are several interesting side trips including tours of the Aswan Dam and the Temple of Philae. The new Aswan Dam, completed in 1970, created 300-mile-long Lake Nasser. One of the earth’s largest structures, the rock-fill dam, has a volume about seventeen times that of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Temple of Philae, on an island between the old and the new dams, is the most interesting of Aswan’s antiquities. The creation of Lake Nasser would have completely covered the temple complex permanently had it not been for a cooperative world-wide effort that dismantled, crated and moved of the Great Temple of Isis to new location where it was reassembled. The oldest part of the Temple dates back to the 4th century. Between Aswan and Luxor, there three important archeological sites and even though there are no fix

Men are like

Blenders ~ you know you need one, but you're not quite sure why. Babies ~ cute at first but you soon get tired of cleaning up after them. Coffee ~ the best types are rich and warm and can keep you going all night. Colds ~ you can never get rid of a bad one in a hurry. Copiers ~ you need them for reproduction...but that's about it. Dawn ~ full of promise, but usually turn out to be the same old routine. Diamonds ~ in their natural state they are rough and ugly. If you want them polished you have to do it yourself. Fish ~ they get themselves into trouble because they can't keep their mouths shut. Horoscopes ~ they tell you what to do ~ and are usually wrong. Lava lamps ~ fun to watch but not all that bright. Mascara ~ difficult to handle...and runs at the first sign of emotion. Mini skirts ~ if you're not careful they will creep up your legs. Place mats ~ they only show up when food's on the table. Remote controls ~ simple and easy to use, and usually found lying near

ice

Hello Everyone ! something important for a change !!!! Isn't it true that we all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones? Let us for a moment create a scenario wherein (God forbid) We are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people attending to us get hold of our mobile phone but don't know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored Under the name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our? mobile phones. " ICE" Campaign. Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number

Safety plan for Egypt carriers

The Egyptian Government has confirmed that all carriers registered in Egypt will incorporate the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) into their safety oversight programmes by the end of this year. As part of this initiative, all new applicants for an Air Operating Certificate (AOC) in Egypt must successfully complete an IOSA Registration prior to commencing operation. Existing airlines on the Egyptian registry will also be required to undergo an IOSA re-audit every two years. “We take this matter very seriously,” said ETA chairman Ahmed El Khadem. “With increasing numbers of international visitors travelling to Egypt, it is important to offer them the reassurance that the Egyptian airline industry complies with the very highest, and internationally recognised, aviation safety standards.” The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has also recognised and honoured the Egyptian Government for its leadership in promoting safety by incorporating the IATA Operational Safety Audit (I
