Useful Things To Bring
? Alarm clock . Vital for early-morning buses. ? Clothes . Keep both practicality and sensitivity in mind. As emphasized in "From a Woman's Perspective", Egypt is a deeply conservative nation; the more modest your dress the less hassle you will attract. On the practicalities front, bear in mind that northern Egypt can be cold and damp in the winter, while the desert gets freezing at night, even in the spring and autumn. A warm sweater is invaluable. So, too, are a solid pair of shoes: burst pipes are commonplace, and wandering around muddy streets in sodden sandals is a miserable experience. ? Cool bottle . Keeps juice or water at a refreshing temperature on those long desert journeys. ? Earplugs . Help muffle the noise of videos on long-distance buses and trains, if you're trying to sleep. ? Film . Kodak and Fuji film is available in most towns and major resorts, but it may well be pretty old stock. It's best to bring adequate supplies. For photography in dark alleyways, tombs and hidden corners, fast film (400-800 ASA) is useful. If you're looking for good landscape photographs, slow film (and/or getting out of bed early) is a must. ? Plug . If you like your water to fill a basin, it is worth remembering to pack an omnisize plug: few hotels (even relatively upmarket ones) supply such equipment. ? Sleeping bag . A decent bag is invaluable if you're planning to sleep out © 2003 by Rough Guides Ltd. as trustee for its Authors. Published by Rough Guides. All rights reserved.

Muhammad Ali’s era saw strong state intervention in the economy; the subsequent century witnessed a passive state and the dominance of private foreign and domestic investors. Yet both failed to achieve economic development or to lift Egypt from poverty and dependence. The Gamal Abdul Nasser regime (1952-70) inherited an underdeveloped economy with great inequalities. A few rich foreigners and nationals controlled the country’s wealth, from large landed estates to manufacturing and commercial firms, while the bulk of the population was poor and disenfranchised. The new regime, borrowing from the debates and programs put forward by various political parties and interests during the 1930s and World War II, undertook the task of economic restructuring."
