Old Egypt : Contrat De Location
A photo for an old Egyptian apartment rental contract in French. French was used along Arabic in legal and official documents in Egypt until 40 years ago if I am not mistaken.
I believe that this has to do with the fact that Egypt's civil code issued in 1949 was based on the French civil code.

Something else happened in Abu Simbel Temple other than solar alignment
On Monday, Egypt had nothing to speak about how the sun failed to show up in Abu Simbel Temple's biannual solar perpendicular due to early mist.
Some considered it as sort of paranormal reaction on the claims of current minister of archeology El-Damati that the solar perpendicular in not less than 15 ancient Egyptian archeological sites in Egypt were just "mirage" and coincidence !!
While other considered it as a bad omen that the sun refused to show for the first time since thousands of years allegedly.
It has nothing to do with omens and actually it happened before, from a decade ago.
Anyhow personally, I believe there is other significant thing happened in Abu Simbel but the mainstream media does not want to cover it properly.
A group of Nubian Egyptians protested at Abu Simbel temple protested against a presidential decree that stands against their return to the land of Nubia they want to return to.
That group of Nubian Egyptians protested against Presidential decree No.444 which was issued in 2014 and was passed by the House of Representatives from a couple of weeks ago.
Presidential decree No.444 issued on 29 November 2014 designates 16 Nubian villages out of 44 villages as restricted military border zones with Sudan.

From 1995 : Sharm El-Sheikh Holiday for LE 65 Only
An old newspaper ad in 1995. " Enjoy a nice holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh at Hotel Barracuda for LE 65 only 'B.B' and special prices for those who stay longer. Contact Nefr tourism company for more information"
Now in 2016 , Sharm El-Sheikh is a ghost town or rather ghost resort. There is still hope because it seems that British tourists will be back by May.
Hotel Barracuda does not exist anymore as I did quick search online. It could have changed its name to become another hotel.

Sisi's 2030 speech : Be worried ... be very worried
Egypt's sarcasm Facebook pages and accounts are having one hell of busy day thanks to the latest speech of President Abdel Fattah early Wednesday in Egypt 2030 conference.
Comic, memes and videos are published at a crazy rate on Facebook pages like Asa7be Sarcasm Society.
Being the first Egyptian president up for sale on eBay for several hours following his emotional plea in the speech that he would sell him to save the country made more headlines in Mashable, BBC and Foreign policy than the original speech with its important details. "There is similar page for him on Facebook"
But speaking seriously, there is nothing funny about the speech when you listen to it carefully.
The speech is very alarming.
Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was extremely nervous more than any other speech I could remember.
He was nervous and angry in that improvised speech.
He slammed the government's critics including his own supporters. Ironically, it has been an old 23 July state legacy to make the cabinet as the punching bag when the president has got all powers. Now Sisi defends Ismail's cabinet and says he meets with the ministers and knows what we do not know. I do not know what his supporters will say after claiming that the cabinet is working against his instructions.
