The definitive book that recounts the full history of the colorful queens of Egypt. This fascinating saga spans 3,000 years of Egyptian queenship from Early Dynastic times until the suicide of Cleopatra in 30 BC. Starting with the unique role enjoyed by Egypt’s women in the ancient world, the book goes on to present a biographical portrait of every queen, supplemented by a wealth of pictorial detail, datafiles, genealogical trees, timelines, and special features—from Childbirth to Wigs—highlighting different aspects of Egyptian culture.

The queen of Egypt was, first and foremost, a supportive wife and mother, but in times of dynastic crisis she was expected to act as her husband’s deputy. The queen might be required to marshal troops, or to rule on behalf of an infant son. She might even be called upon to rule in her own right in the absence of a suitable king. The female pharaohs Hatshepsut and Tawosret, the sun queens Tiy and Nefertiti, the seductive Nefertari and Cleopatra: many of Egypt’s queens have left an indelible mark on their country’s history.

And what of Egypt’s lesser queens, the numerous wives and daughters maintained in pampered seclusion in the harem palaces? These women are generally forgotten, their graves lost in the desert sands. But the anonymous ladies occasionally stepped from the security of the harem to influence the royal succession, and their stories too are told. 273 illustrations, 150 in color

London, UK (PRWEB) September 4, 2007

Egypt’s property investment market has been performing extremely well and is being urged on by news of the high investment figures pouring in from property developers. Obelisk International believes that going forward, the country is set to become one of the best emerging markets for property investors, who will benefit from substantial capital appreciation and rental returns.

Obelisk International’s Sales and Marketing Director, Kevin Prior comments that he believes the increased funding from the Middle East and UK tourism, is strengthening the price of property in Egypt. ‘Egypt is an exciting area for investors and second home buyers, due to the huge increase in foreign direct investment being invested from the Middle East.’ Kevin also believes that the newer area of Hurghada is likely to offer the most capital growth.

Damac, one of the Middle East’s largest luxury property developers, entered the Egyptian market in 2006 with a $ 16 billion plan to re-develop 320 million square meters of land, near Hurghada. The resort style development has encouraged huge investment into Egypt property investment. Other large developers are following suit and Dubai based Emarr, who already own 6 major development sites, have ambitious plans to control nearly half of the development.

“There is no doubt that Egypt is a key country that is set to play a leading role in DAMAC’s investment strategies in the region. Backed by solid economic growth and a wealth of human capital, the potential prospects are immense. DAMAC’s commitment to Egypt will serve to attract further investment, generate massive employment, and contribute to the development of the real estate sector which is rapidly entering a new era,” said Mr Hussain Sajwani, Chairman of DAMAC Holdings.

“Most people think of Sharm el-Sheikh but prices have increased greatly, Hurghada on the other hand is a very affordable alternative. The resort is a very accesable with a variety of charter and scheduled flights and is an established tourist resort.”

The government’s continuous reforms to infrastructure should bring about a major shift in Egypt property investment. Another benefit which boosts rental potential is an increase in direct, short flight times from the UK, no capital gains tax, or inheritance tax, a relatively low cost of living and property in Egypt requires minimal maintenance costs.
