When Om Kalthoum died in 1975 the country erupted in mourning. The truth of the matter is probably that her funeral was larger than Nasser’s – although ‘official records’ tell another story. Some say...

Her Museum operates only an Arabic language website and may be administered by the Cairo government. Its not possible to know its opening hours and its Facebook page suggests that mainly locals go...
Brian Cox did a TV doco on this issue in 2014. Its visually pretty, complex and hard to understand. The fact that its about the most important issues in the...

I think the documentary you are referring to is part of Brian Cox's 'Human Universe' 5 Part series.
You can view Part 2 Why Are We Here at .....and the rest of the series as well if you so wish....
I have always liked this rendition by Simon & Garfunkel, especially the way the other words are woven into this canticle like rendition. Did you realise that these other words being sung are quite...
With some misgivings, and having nothing better to do, with the family away over Eid, I decided to give the American miniseries Tut a look. Thanks Dusak for the intro to 123Movies :up
Showing on BBC World News this weekend - a documentary on the remarkable Egyptian feminist Nawal El Saadawi. Ceaseless campaigner for womem's rights, abolition of FGM, and author of numerous highly...
Prince it seems was determined to put a smile on Skeletors Tom Petty's face, and he succeeded.
Not too sure if Dahni knew what was going on, but I hope he did.. :up

Yeah, but there are many good actors out there to replace them. :up
My Favourites at the moment are Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jnr.

Couldn't watch the video seemed such a waste of time, two days in Cairo on your way to Japan? Where is he coming from?
Egypt had an influence on western popular music, and jazz in particular - but probably not quite what you would think. There have also been influences the other way and there was also a...

The bits I've had time for are great so far. More gems to come as I get time. Thanks Hafiz! :wi
I managed to leave my Kindle in London and am bereft of reading matter until my next visit. The 3 John Grishams I picked up at the airport will only last a few days. Accordingly I have been turning...

Maybe so, but you can't help but marvel at today's technology, no matter how its used. An interesting observation using such tech was the discovery the other day that a trillion tonnes iceberg had...
One of my favourite programmes to watch on the limited TV available in Egypt is BBC's Hardtalk .....at least when Stephen Sackur's in the seat. He's streets ahead of some of the other presenters....

Sackur is the most insistent and forensic interviewer I know of. He has none of the usual BBC circumlocutory airs and graces and keeps his own ego out it. I’d love to hear him with some dignitaries...

All good atmospheric films. And let us not forget that Michael Bond, the creator of that lovable bear Paddington, has died at 91. RIP all.

Even better still, just increase the kerb height as they have done in many airport entrances to stop a vehicle mounting it easily, but I note that Egypt (Luxor in particular) have already adopted...
