This tbh. For example the metro in Cairo, most tourists don’t know it exists. So cheap yes, but could at least charge non-tourists extra. They know how to spend money but not to manage it. Getting a visa or residency is complicated. Different rules for resorts and Cairo etc. Took me ages to get a visa. Do they not want my money?

It is always the same in dictatorships. If you criticizes the leader, you end up in jail or killed. Therefore no one will call out dumb decisions. One of the reasons Chinas economy is hitting the wall right now. I know people often complain about capitalism. But capitalism in democratic countries is simply the superior system in the long run. Mistakes getting corrected earlier in a free market. And of course there are things to improve even in those countries, but people sure get more out of it than in dictatorships.

As someone that worked with Egyptians, that area is prime land for energy development. Plans of either solar, wind or even a nuclear power plant were considered for that region. The viability of desalination plants was also looked at for the areas between Marsa Matruh and Alexandria.

There are WAY too many scams + some ppl will try to pull you into stuff that you don't want to do, and they can be aggressive. I have been only once there, and I don't want to go back. They have to change the ppl if they wanna tourism. We have a lot of Hollywood stars here, and they like it, know why? We leave em alone and treat em as regular ppl. Neil Patrick Harris is basically my neighbor for around 10y, and we only spoke few times in last let say 3 because our path are crossed, so I see him a lot.

Houthi hedge. By having a port controlled by the UAE in the Mediterranean, they can conduct deals, ship/receive goods and bypass the Hourhis shooting at anything passing the Red Sea. I also wonder if the UAE found natural gas in the Med, allowing them to ship to Southern Europe direct. If thats the case and Al-Sisi permits it, there could be very big problems. Regardless, very bold moves by the UAE. Its reminding me of the very active Italian trading states of Venice and Genoa in the late Middle Ages/Early Renaissance period.

Fascinating report. The Emiratis have made creative use of their wealth, essentially leasing a piece of Egypt and a strategic location on the Mediterranean. It is ironic that, today, Egypt is almost a failed state: overpopulated and barely governable. In Roman times, it was, with a population of 6 million, a wealthy province of the empire
@retf8977 Ай бұрын
Overpopulation is the coathanger that failed third world governments use to shift the blame to their population. Overpopulation is not a thing, the problem is corruption

It wasn't wealthy, Rome's wealth was dependant on it, about a third of the revenue came from Egypt as it was NOT a province, it was personal property.

The relationship between the UAE and Egypt isn't a business relationship, UAE has been committed to Egypt since the beginning of its time. The UAE & Egypt share a brotherhood relationship, we share the same fate, and our existence is closely tied. UAE never ever wants to see Egypt fall like the other neighboring countries, and the UAE is willing to do everything to keep Egypt standing strong.

I find it baffling that you're trying to compare this development in terms of "resource-less potential" with Singapore. Singapore is at the neck of one of the worlds most important shipping route. Of course that will turn it into an important place that doesn't need resources to be valuable. But in Egypt, so far from major trade routes, without oil or gas fields in the immediate vicinity, I fail to see how that can compare.

Why do you say that ordinary Egyptians will not benefit from the project? Someone needs to do the construction and contracting on the development Someone will work all those jobs that will be created there (schools, hospitals, malls, hotels, restaurants etc.) The project will add foreign currency in the country All the tourists that wii go there will add foreign currency in Egypt This is almost "infrastructre stimulus" and it also has a multiplier effect in the economy

If you have tourist wanting a Dubai like experience, why would they not just go to Dubai? What is going to draw them to a Dubai copy cat city in Egypt away from all the things tourist generally want to see in Egypt? Additionally, If you do think this type of city is viable and if there are political and economic roadblocks for this type of development to take place without the assistance of the UAE, then would it not make more sense to reform Egypt’s economic and political policies and structure to allow for more economic growth and for such development to be able to occur organically?

@@lastword8783 I think Dubai occupies a pretty niche economy that to me seems pretty comparable to a city like Las Vegas - both of them develop cheap desert land into hotels, shopping malls and entertainment venues in combination with loosened restrictions on various behaviors normally not permitted in their respective cultures. It probably wouldn’t make sense if say Phoenix tried to be a copy cat city of Las Vegas, they would probably either not be able to over come Las Vegas’s first mover advantage to attract those types of tourist, or they would split that tourist market and be worse off than if they had tried to find their own economic niche to occupy. Phoenix today does have a healthy tourist market, but the people going to 5 star self improvement meditation resorts in the Mojave desert aren’t the same type of tourist that are wanting to go to Las Vegas to gamble and go to night clubs.
