What does talking about Egypt offer you?


by Milan Dukan


'Talking' to the Egyptian people it is obvious that the nation has gone through devastation in every regard and is slowly not moving back on its feet and on towards recovery. Lives have been lost and careers destroyed but the only one thing that has not been broken or lost is 'hope'.

Egypt has gone through its fair share of revolutions and political unrests throughout its glorious years and many things have come out of the unrest as a result. Some of these things are good and the others are not so favorable. A major development over the years in Egypt is the modernization and improvement of mobile and telecommunication facilities available in the country.

'Talking' to explorers all over the world makes it obvious that Egypt is one of their favorite destinations due to its exciting ancient history and the civilizations that once ruled that have now perished under the sands of the deserts and the bases of tall cities. No wonder that many popular channels like the 'National Geography' and 'Discovery Channel' have covered the place multiple times to show the world, its amazing history.

The Pyramids of Giza are by far the most popular attraction in Egypt and hundreds of people come every year to lay their eyes on these staggering creations of ancient men and women that were once the Gods of the land and the sun and the moon. Apart from these wonderful pyramids there are several visiting spots in the country that simply dazzle one's eyes and mind and make them wonder. Some of these places are the 'Naama Bay', 'Salah El-Din Fortress on Pharaoh Island off Taba's coast, the Temple of Luxor, the Abu-Simbel Temples and off course the peak of modern architecture and design, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

The telecommunication and television although mostly owned by the government, is still a thriving force in the region and continues to gain the attention of masses. It is convenient and easy 'talking' to people abroad or for them to reach their loved ones or clients in Egypt. There are three major cellular companies in the country, that provide many services including 3G, GPRS etc, namely, 'Mobinil', Vodafone Egypt and 'Etisalat Egypt'. This communication network played a vital role in the revolution that began on 25th January with people all over the country sharing messages that looked to rally up all the masses together.

Apart from its monuments and landmarks Egypt is also popular for its transport system that runs through and inside their cities. So much so that Egypt recently won a 'Transport Media' award in Austria thanks to its outstanding Tram branding. This is certainly a great asset of the country and as the days pass it only seems to be getting better and more people are relying on the system than ever before.

Egypt's transport industry is also on a constant rise and most recently won the 'Transport Media Award' in Austria for its fabulous Tram Branding in the calendar year 2011. There are several events held annually in the country which give the tourists and locals a host of things to do and stay entertained. One of these events is the 'International Yoga Festival Sharm Al Sheikh' which lets the visitors relax their body and soul off all the stress and worries they have buried in them.

Despite going through its fair share of problems which has pushed back the country a great deal in its grown and development, Egypt is fighting back with all its muscle to rise back up and be the apple of one's eye for many of its fans and other countries. Most importantly it is thriving to make the place a better and safer home for its people where their voice can be heard and their rights be lauded.
