Histroy of Internet in Egypt

Full Internet services started in Egypt in October 1993, at the Egyptian Universities Network and the Cabinet Information & Decision Support Center (IDSC), via a 9.6K link to France carrying the Bitnet as well as Internet traffic. Several initiatives, by public and private organizations, were taken before that date for the provision of partial Internet Services in the country. The user community was estimated by that time to be about 2000 - 3000 users. Egypt Telecom: the Arab Republic of Egypt National Telecommunication Organization.(ARENTO) is providing the basic infrastructure. In 1994, the Egyptian domain was divided into three major subdomains. The academic subdomain "eun" provides the service via the gateway at the Supreme Council of Universities. Eun stands for the Egyptian Universities Networks and provides the service for the universities and schools. The "sci" subdomain serves the scientific research institutes at the Academy of Scientific Research via

Winter in Egypt

People tend to think that the winter in Egypt is so nice and warm and sunny and cosy. Which is not exactly true. Let's talk about the Egyptian winter for those who actually plan to spend extended periods of time in Egypt or winter holidays there. I find Cairo and Alexandria to be much colder than Luxor or Aswan, in winter. To me, even cooler Egyptian weather is tropical, compared to the freezing reality of home. Being in an Egyptian house is very much colder than in a well insulated hotel room. A few years ago, we experienced a weird little flash flood in Luxor. This was very unusual, as it rarely rains there (a few spots, perhaps, occasionally). What impressed me was how quickly the fallen trees were removed from the roads. Before that, it was well over a decade since I experienced real rain in Luxor. I remember the problems it caused due to the construction of many homes.

However, with acne, sebum is trapped within the follicle and skin bacteria multiply within the clogged pores. Acn
