CHAPTER J.
1tIAKING A FRIEND.
T,vo lads were BLanding in one of the bastionB of a
fort looking oyer the sea. There were neither guards
nor sentinels there. The guns stood on their carriages,
looking clean a.nd ready for action, but this ,vas not the
result of care and attention, but simply because in
so dry a climate iron rusts but lit.tle. A cloSEr examination
would have shown tha.t the wooden carria.ges on which
they stood were so cra.cked and warped by beat that
they would have fallen to pieces at the first discharge
of the guns they upheld. Piles of cannon-baHs stood
between the guns, balf·covered with the drifting sand,
which formed slopes half· way up Lhe wa.lls of the
range of barracks behind, and filled up t~e rooms on
the lower floor. Behind rose the city of Alexandria,
with its mina.rets and mosques, ita palaces and its low mudbuilt
buts. Seawa.rd lay a fleet of noble ships with their
long Jines of port-holes, their lofty masts, and netw

At Aboukir and Acre: A Story of Napoleon’s Invasion of Egypt

Question by abstemious_entity: Is there a difference between the Arabic spoken in Egypt vs the ones spoken in Saudi?
I plan to learn arabic, but I want to learn the one that is spoken in Egypt. Is there a major difference between the one used in Saudi and the one in Egypt aside from the slang and accent?

Best answer:

Answer by CeciMza
Classic Arabic is the same in all arabic speaking countries. When they speak slang (or even everyday talk) they all speak differently because of the different accents. Some countries do have similar accents… However, classic arabic is the same all over the world

Traveller’s Guide to Egypt

Egypt, land of Pyramids and Pharos, lays across the Mediterranean and Red Seas, linking Africa, the Middle East, south Asia and Europe. Four times the size of the United Kingdom, it has borders with Libya, Sudan, the Gaza Strip, Israel and Jordan, and faces Saudi Arabia across the Gulf of Aqaba.

The strategically important Suez Canal is to the north, running between Suez and Port Said, while the Red Sea tourist resort of Sharm al-Skeikh is found in the south. Most of the country in between is desert and only four per cent of the land is cultivated, mainly adjacent to the thousand mile long Nile and the Nile Delta.

The Foreign Office reports that Egypt is hot and dry in the summer, mild in the winter with rainfall increasing nearer the coastlines. Temperatures increase southwards, and on average, these vary between twenty two and thirty seven degrees Centigrade in the summer and nine and nineteen degrees Centigrade in the winter. Politically stable, in that President Mubarak has been in power since 1981, Egypt is not known for its political freedom and has recently introduced more stringent anti-terrorism legislation.

Under President Mubarak the country has gained healthy economic growth which is currently around seven per cent. Even so, despite earnings from its canal, agriculture and service industries such as tourism, the country is dependent on imports and has a budget deficit. Inflation is running at close to nine per cent.

Egypt is a signatory to all the major UN human rights conventions. But the Foreign Offices says one of the key human rights concerns in Egypt is the widespread mistreatment of detainees and use of torture in police stations, especially in cases involving political detainees although ‘the government has taken some steps to address the problem’.

The Foreign Office also warns that there is a high threat from terrorism. There has recently been a strengthening of security measures, including around popular tourist destinations.

British visitors require visas. These can be obtained from an Egyptian Consulate outside Egypt or on arrival for stays of up to one month. Applications for visa extensions should be made at Egyptian Passport and Immigration Offices.

There is no limit to the amount of sterling which can be taken into Egypt (larger sums should be declared on arrival), but there is a limit of 5,000 Egyptian pounds that can be taken out of the country.

According to the Foreign Office, some of the British nationals who have purchased land in Egypt have encountered problems. In parts of Egypt and increasingly, in the area of the West Bank in Luxor, land tenure rights can be restricted by local laws.

‘If you intend to purchase a property in Egypt we strongly advise you to engage a local lawyer’, says the Foreign Office. ‘It is important that your lawyer obtains an extract from the local land registry to satisfy you that the property or land in question is formally registered. You should again seek legal advice before entering into any contract. Don’t sign anything that you do not understand’.

A list of English speaking lawyers and translators is available from the British Embassy situated in Cairo. Property buyers are also warned that the Egyptian land registry is liable to be out of date or incomplete – although the main cities and resort towns tend to have more reliable records.

Special rules apply, however, in Sharm El Sheikh which limits property rights to a maximum of ninety nine years. In other areas of Egypt it is still possible to buy freehold property. British and other EU nationals travelling to Sharm El Sheikh or Taba resorts for up to 14 days do not require a visa prior to travel. However, foreign property owners in Egyptian must have residency.
