The Sinai stretch
Fancy a relaxing yoga break without the sky-high price tag? Esther Shaw
heads to Egypt for a week of sun, sand and Salutations
After no-frills flying and low-cost cruises, it had to happen: Yoga on a
Shoestring. That's more than just a concept, it's an organisation set up
four years ago by a dynamic woman named Sue Pendlebury. And in March, it
lured me to a place that, by April, would be shorthand for yet another terrorist
outrage: Dahab, on Egypt's Sinai peninsula.
It's not as though I've never done yoga; I did try it out for a few weeks
when I was travelling in India. But that was six years ago, before I'd succumbed
to all-too-many of the vices attached to being a journalist. So, when my
best friend suggested that it might "do me good" to join her on
a healthy week of retreat and relaxation, I agreed.
The temptation of the sunshine and the Red
Sea did, I confess, play more than a small part in my decision - as
did the idea of increasing my flexibility at the same time as my tan. But
apart from this, I liked the idea of embarking upon a spot of "self-improvement",
with the hope of discovering some much-needed inner calm along the way.
Sue Pendlebury set up Yoga on a Shoestring (YOAS) to "make yoga breaks
affordable for more people". She now organises trips in the UK and
France, as well as to India, Bali and, of course, Egypt. We flew to Sharm
el-Sheikh, the location of last July's bomb attacks in which nearly
100 people died. Although Sharm is the Sinai's best-known (and most-developed)
holiday destination, we were heading an hour north-east of there - a scenic
drive through miles of desert and Bedouin settlements - to Dahab. We were
staying at the Amanda Hotel, a simple but more-than-adequate place and were
welcomed by our two yoga teachers - and a spread of grilled fresh fish,
vegetables and salad.
We made the early mistake of asking for a beer to go with our dinner - the
hotel didn't stock it, and the teachers didn't drink. But the hotel staff
soon rounded up a few bottles from a neighbouring bar, and our teachers
were happy to let us consume them - as long as we were sure to be up at
8.30 the next morning for our first yoga lesson.
Next morning, I made my way to the light and airy yoga studio that looks
straight out over the waves to Saudi Arabia. The sun was already high in
the sky, drenching the dramatic shoreline of the Red
Sea in a deep golden light. Within minutes, I was lying flat on my back
on a yoga mat, inhaling the delicate scent of a joss stick and listening
to gentle chanting, while trying to clear my head of all its thoughts and
concentrate on my breathing. Read more about this

Minister: Egypt’s tourism will
bounce back “in weeks”
The tourism industry in Egypt will bounce back within weeks, following the
explosions in Dahab on April 24, according to the Egyptian Tourism Minister,
Zoheir Garannah, in an exclusive interview with Middle East Economic Digest
(MEED).
“We are confident in our product and that people will continue to
travel here. The main impression that the attacks left was one of people’s
solidarity,” said Garannah.
The minister referred to the tourism industry’s increasing resilience:
Egypt took two years to recover after the massacre in Luxor
in 1997, and six months to bounce back after the Sharm
El Sheikh attack in July 2005.
“The recovery is likely to take three weeks this time,” he said.
“The threat is less from cancellations than from a decrease in new
bookings.”
Tourism is one of the pillars of the Egyptian economy, with 8.6 million
visitors a year and 170,000 hotel rooms. The government has targeted an
additional 50,000 new rooms and 1 million new visitors every year. This
growth will create 200,000 new jobs a year.
Garannah explained: “One of the advantages in our tourism development
at the moment is that it is all driven by the private sector. We see developers
coming in to launch integrated mixed-use developments – some the size
of new cities.” Read more about this

Egypt Real Estate Booming
An average commuter driving on Cairo’s ring
road might look out over swaths of partially completed apartment complexes
and react with frustration at the eyesore. Galal Farag, managing director
of export powerhouse Ideal Standard, sees opportunities in every direction.
“The population now has reached about 73 million,” Farag says
with a sense of astonishment. “Of course, with this increase, the
real estate market in Egypt is booming. If you look at how many new companies
have established in this field, it is an indicator of how this country still
needs factories to fill the requirements of real estate in Egypt. The new
cities like Sixth of October, Tenth of Ramadan and El-Obour need... vitreous
china [ceramic bowls and sinks], brass fittings [and] acrylic bathtubs,
every day.”
As a market leader in the bathroom and kitchen fixtures industry, Ideal
Standard, a subsidiary of legendary producer American Standard, has expanded
quickly since its inception to include five factories in Tenth of Ramadan
that produce its core products. Its first vitreous china plant opened in
1984, an acrylic bathtub and shower enclosure plant followed in 1986 and
brass fittings in 1987. With a second acrylic bathtub plant finished just
last March, American Standard has increased its investment in Egypt to LE
350 million from LE 5 million in just over 20 years.
Everytime they prepared to build a new plant, “our company recieved
a lot of help from the government, either from the Tenth of Ramadan administration
or from the investment authority,” Farag says.
While the majority of the more than 1.7 million bathroom fixtures it produces
each year are destined for Europe, Farag stresses Ideal Standard’s
goal of being the premier luxury brand in its industry by concentrating
on customer service in Egypt. Read more about this

Will the bombs in Egypt scare Brits away?
The Egyptian government must step up security in major resorts or risk further
terrorist attacks and a drop in tourism, say UK tour operators.
The three bomb explosions that killed 24 people and injured 85, including
two Britons, on Monday in the Red Sea
resort of Dahab represent the third attack in the Sinai peninsula in the
past 18 months. Three explosions in Sharm
El Sheikh killed 63 people, including 11 from Britain, last July and
an attack in Taba in October 2004 killed 34.
The World Travel and Tourism Council expects bookings to be affected only
in the short term, encouraged by figures that showed Egypt had 8.5 million
visitors in 2005, its largest influx ever, despite the Sharm bombings. By
the end of 2007, Cairo airport's capacity is expected
to have doubled to 20 million arrivals a year.
While tour operators tried to remain optimistic, some wondered how far tourist
resilience could be pushed. 'There must be a breaking point,' said Philip
Breckner of Discover Egypt. 'People don't want to give in to terrorists,
but whether they will say that after another three or four bombs I don't
know.'
A spokesman for Tour Egypt said: 'The government must initiate a widespread
crackdown involving extensive security policies far outreaching those made
after the previous two attacks. If they don't, future attacks could spell
the end of tourism in the Sinai peninsula.'

Egypt witnessing record growth in tourist
traffic
Egypt is experiencing record-breaking growth in tourism numbers, achieving
a total of 8.6 million visitors in 2005, and poised to welcome an additional
one million in 2006.
“The Middle East alone accounted for about 20 per cent of the nation’s
global tourism traffic last year and we expect that number to increase by
as much as 30 per cent this year,” said Ahmed Al Khadem, Chairman
of the Egyptian Tourist Authority in a Press conference held yesterday during
the Arab Travel Market. “Middle Eastern tourists — and the GCC
visitors in particular — are a very important part of our tourism
industry and are welcome guests in out country.”
For example, the number of visitors from the UAE alone was 74,000 tourists
from January to March this year. This number forms a 40 per cent increase
compared to the same period last year, he said. The industry is growing
at such a rate that is seems set to break the 2005 record of 85 million
tourist nights spent throughout the country’s 170,000 hotel rooms.

Taba Heights is fast becoming Egypt’s premiere tourist destination.
Located between Taba and Nuweiba, Taba Heights is developing at a rapid
rate and will provide tourists with some of attractive and luxurious accommodation
in the Middle East if not globally.
Having realized the potential of Taba several years ago, InterContinental

Egypt set to become a regional
leader in shopping tourism
Government officials in Egypt have confirmed today that visitor numbers
to the country are increasing dramatically, thanks in large part to Gulf
Arabs who make their way to the region's largest country for short breaks
designed to take advantage of world class shopping now on offer.
'Shopping has now become an important part of the holiday experience,' said
H. E. Zoheir Gharana, Minister of Tourism. 'Egypt appeals to tourists not
only for its cultural sites, but now for its shopping - be it the latest
trends in Italian fashion or Egyptian-made fine goods.'
Best known for its rich history, sandy beaches, and vibrant culture, Egypt
is moving quickly in building its tourism portfolio to include shopping
as a key attraction for holiday-makers.
Situated at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Europe, Egypt
has long been a key site for international trade, commerce and tourism.
Its rich history as a market of rare and precious goods has enticed travellers
to its souks abounding with luxurious textiles and high-quality gold and
jewellery.
Recent economic reforms have stimulated the emergence of new malls, the
deregulation of foreign textiles and an ever-growing number of tourists.
All of these factors place Egypt at the forefront of an increasingly competitive
regional shopping tourism segment.
'This past year, Egypt posted record-breaking numbers with 8.1 million tourists
having visited. From the Gulf alone, tourist numbers have risen over 50%
since this time last year, partly due to the many holidaymakers who have
chosen Egypt for weekend shopping get-aways,'

Egyptian tourism officials welcome record
regional tourist numbers in 2006.
With record-breaking global tourism figures propelling Egypt into its seventh
millennia, the country is set to introduce an all new approach to marketing
itself regionally at this year's annual Arabian Travel Market (ATM) exhibition
and conference, taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 2 through
5 May.
Last year Egypt received a record-setting 8.6 million tourists and is experiencing
growth of up to 60% in some Middle Eastern markets alone.
The 'Nawart Masr' ('You Light Up Egypt!') campaign comes as the successor
to the much praised 'Ebtesamet Misr Ma Tetneseesh' campaign which was present
throughout the Middle East in last year.
The new campaign - which is expected to contribute to more than 30% growth
among Middle Eastern holidaymakers visiting Egypt each year - puts Arab
visitors at the centre of its appeal, drawing on the Egypt's natural beauty,
culture, entertainment, and food to remind Gulf, Levant, and North African
Arabs why they fell in love with Egypt the first time they visited, while
highlighting all that is new and exciting.
'Egypt is proud to show its new face at Arabian
Travel Market 2006, because we have so much of which to be proud - new
hotels, new restaurants, new airports, new residential tourism offerings,
even new ancient treasures which have recently been discovered, 'said Ahmed

Cairo International has teamed with premier
airport management group to place its airport on the map.
Cairo International Airport has
a clear-cut ambition: "We want to become both a passenger and cargo
hub, particularly in the MENA region," says Ibrahim Ahmed Manaa, chairman
of Egyptian Holding Co. for Airports and Air Navigation. "We want to
rise to global competitive levels according to international standards and
start to gradually apply air transport liberalization policies."
The aim to elevate CAI's function and future started just over three years
ago when the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation formed two holding companies,
one for national carrier EgyptAir incorporating seven subsidiaries and a
second for airports and ATC activities. EHCAAN controls four companiesCairo
Airport Co., Egyptian Airports Co., National Air Navigation Services and
Aviation Information Technology. CAA is the regulatory body.
The first steps in Cairo Airport's privatization coincided with the launch
of a "very aggressive" investment program to upgrade existing
facilities and build a new Terminal 3, Manaa tells AE&T. The airport,
located about 20 km. northeast of the city, has seven arrival and departure
halls spread out over two terminals. Terminal 1, also known as the Old Airport,
was inaugurated in 1963 and has an annual passenger capacity of 6.5 million.
Terminal 2 dates from 1984 and can accommodate up to 3.5 million passengers
annually. T1 has 67 check-in counters, T2 60. T1 has 12 gates, three of
which are double-level for large aircraft and all of which use bus transfer
between terminal and aircraft. T2 has seven gates with 10 passenger boarding
bridges.
There are 131 aircraft stands, of which nine are contact stands, and three
runways. Runway 05R/23L is 3,300 m. long, 05L/23R has a length of 4,000
m. and 16/34 is 3,180 m. All are 60 m. wide. Plans for a fourth runway,
to be built south of the existing airfield, have been approved. It will
be 4,000 m. by 65 m. "and thus A380 compliant," Manaa notes. He
proudly adds that the new T3 will have three contact gates able to accommodate
the giant. He admits that no carrier has yet indicated it might operate
the A380 into Cairo, but he laughs, "We hope
that maybe Emirates will do so. Why not?" Read more about this

The Red Sea - Thats Egypt isn't it?
And
a great deal more. This extraordinary body of saltwater is a spectacular
haven for coral life and is steeped in legend and ancient history. Handily,
it is also an increasingly accessible holiday destination that offers far
more than the average resort strip. The lands of the pharaohs roll back
on one side, while the sea resonates biblical significance, particularly
the story from Exodus in which the waters parted to save the Israelites
from the Egyptian army: "And Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea..."
In terms of today's geopolitical divisions, the Red
Sea is bordered by Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea to the west, with Israel,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen to the east. It is, in effect, a watery divide
between Africa and the Middle East. It comprises an offshoot, or basin,
of the Indian Ocean, which flows into it through a narrow opening of only
17 miles or so at the Bab al Mandab strait in the south.
To the north, a thin slit into the Mediterranean has existed since 1869,
when the Suez Canal was completed. Because it is cut off from major ocean
currents and has no large rivers feeding it, the Red Sea remains amazingly
still, clear and warm, hence the abundant coral and rich animal life it
supports, from vibrant shoals of parrotfish and other piscatorial species
to sea turtles, dolphins and pelicans.
Why the "Red Sea"?
The Greeks called these waters Arabicus Sinus, referring to the obvious
narrowness of this ribbon of sea. The name Red Sea was coined later and
is altogether more perplexing. It is thought by some to be a mistranslation
of the Semitic name meaning "Sea of Reeds". Another explanation
is that the Red Sea is so called because it periodically turns a faint red
- from seasonal blooms of a type of cyanobacteria, tiny algae with a reddish
pigment that live near the surface of the water. Yet another theory takes
a more poetic tack and suggests that reflections of the area's fiery sunrises
and sunsets, coupled with its red ranges of mountains, were the inspiration.
But while no one is quite sure of the derivation of the name, there's an
increasing consensus that the Red Sea is a prime place for winter sun.

Hey, Big Spender: Stay a While.
The Ministry of Tourism is launching a national and international campaign
to encourage visitors to stay longer, spend more and feel a little more
welcome
Tourism revenues have skyrocketed in the last few years as Egypt
has redefined itself to European visitors as primarily a sun and sand location
along the Red Sea, reaching $6.4 billion
in 2005, up from $5.5 billion in 2004. The government’s efforts to
support the industry are clear, with HC Securities estimating that in the
2005-06 budget, 5% of the services’ funding, or LE 9.6 billion, is
earmarked for tourism.
According to Mahmoud El-Kaissouni, chairman of the board of the Egyptian
Tourism Federation, the Ministry of Tourism’s top priority is to expand
national and international publicity campaigns to promote tourism in Egypt.
The Egyptian Tourism Federation, similar to a syndicate, represents both
managers and employees working in the tourism industry.
The ministry plans to extend the domestic media campaign for a period of
five years, to encourage domestic tourism and to shape public response to
foreign tourists. The campaign will encourage all sectors of society to
treat tourists as dear and important guests who are vital to the economy
in Egypt and whose revenue improves the standard of living. Read more

Boeing and AMC Airlines
A charter airline operating out of Cairo,
today announced the delivery of the airline's first 737-800 with Blended

launched in 1994 as an extension of Aircraft Maintenance Company which was
established in 1988 by owner and President Elsayed Saber and his family.
"The Next-Generation 737-800 was the logical choice for us because
it is the only aircraft in its class capable of performing the mission as
we've defined it," said Mr. Saber. "The airplane has unmatched
reliability and overall operating efficiency, allowing us the range to fly
fully loaded to and from Egypt to the most northern parts of Europe and

Egyptian economic growth rate up 6.1%
Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif said on Tuesday 14/3/2006 that Egypt stands as
a promising investment hub especially in the sectors of infrastructure,

industry, oil, natural gas and information technology. He added that the
annual economic growth rate in Egypt had risen for the first time to 6.1%
in the last quarter of 2005. Inflation has fallen dramatically from a whopping
18.1% two years ago to just 3.1% this year.
As for real income, Nazif said it increased by 20% as a result of reduced
taxes and higher salaries in the public and private sectors. Direct foreign
investments in 2005-2006 have amounted to $1.8 billion in comparison to
$1.1 billion last year, recording an increase of 83%, the premier noted.

Travel - Egypts Final Frontier
Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera conjures images of endless turquoise waters
hugging soft, sandy beaches; five-star hotels and spa pampering; ice-cold
drinks as you tan in the year-round sunshine; bustling nightlife in cities
that never sleep. In the furthest corner of Egypt’s coastline, however,
lies a completely different, though equally charming experience: Shalateen.
The brilliant sun, azure sea and mesmerizing scenery are indeed here, but
the rest of the resort package is a little difficult to find.
Shalateen is located about 1,000 kilometers south of Cairo,
550 kilometers from Hurghada and less than 300
kilometers from Port Sudan. From a small human settlement, this outpost
has evolved outside the usual tourist circuit into one of the most vibrant
trading towns in southern Egypt.
The Camel Market, one of Shalateen’s most memorable attractions, lies
in the vast backyard of this small town and has thousands of camels on display.
Buyers from all across Egypt converge here to choose from the different
breeds brought by herders who come from Sudan on foot. Some buyers want
fine-looking white camels, possibly for tourist-related businesses; others
look for strong, well-built camels that can handle hard labor, while many
are just looking for pounds of meat.
Trading in Shalateen is not just about camels. Giant trucks are seen around
every corner of the market area: old, blue Bedford trucks that come all
the way from Sudan carrying the finest of spices and frankincense. In exchange,
they drive home with loads and loads of sponge and light plastic fabricants
— no wonder locals call them the ‘Sponge Trucks.’ The
newer ZY trucks, or ‘Zetwaay,’ are almost double in size and
are slowly replacing their older counterparts. Read more about this

Overseas property buyers begin looking
to Egypt.
Egypt is appearing on the radar screens of overseas buyers. The property
market in Egypt is predicted to flourish over the next five years, according
to experts.
At first, the North African country might seem like an unlikely destination
in which to buy an overseas property, particularly when there are emerging
markets closer to the UK.
But with flights now available for less than £300
and taking only five hours, the holiday home and property investment market
is starting to take off.
Official figures show that the number of British visitors to Egypt has increased
by a third since 2000, with 345,000 visits by Britons in 2004.
Most of these head to the Red Sea Riviera’s main resort of Sharm
