The green gold of the pharaohs

The Egyptians are gaining grounds in Japan and soon worldwide. A green glass bottle with King Tut (Tut Ankh Amoun) picture contains 0.250 Cl. of Egyptian olive oil has became a best seller and is bombarding various competitors' products from Europe, Australia, Africa and even from Japan itself. The Green gold of the Pharaos as named by market watchers is sold for 26$ (2780 Japanese Yens). Is it possible that olives might regain Egypt's popularity and success in the agricultural products?

According to an official release from Tokyo, Japanese experts had revealed the secrets of the superiority of the Egyptian olive oil for its Zero acidity levels, and its being free from all chemicals and synthetics.

They believe believed that the reasons behind such healthy features are due to being cultivated and grown in the plain clean deserts, and that after extracting the oil, it is not subjected to any water additives what so ever, and that heat is not beingapplied in the process of the oil extracting process, these factors increase flavour and taste and therefore the nutrition values.

Cairo - city of contradictions

Cairo, Egypt

Tourists in Egypt generally ignore its capital for the most part. A quick ride from the air-port, two nights in a low-down or upscale hotel, one at each end of the trip, a nod if that at the Egyptian Museum-more likely shopping in Khan al-Khalili instead-and then off to Luxor and Aswan for cultural enlightenment or to the Red Sea resorts for fun in the sun. But Cairo, marvellous and maddening, and always throbbing with life, is well worth exploring for its own sake.
Cairo is a city-lover's city. Its most obvious asset is the river that runs through it, its genuinely accessible banks dotted with cafes and gardens everywhere. Then there is the architecture: Cairo is home to some of the world's most splendid Islamic monument. Museums and galleries? There are plenty more than those listed in most guide-books.

Dubai banns it, then Morocco accepts it - Sex and the city II

Abu Dhabi tourism is set to get a boost from the film ‘Sex and the City 2’, despite not a single scene having been shot in the city, analysts have said. The film, which sees Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, and three friends, leave their hometown of New York to visit the UAE capital city.

Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai officials banned producers from filming in the cities. A source told US Weekly, at the time the show’s salacious content was seen to be at odds with the UAE’s more conservative culture.
