Abu Simbel

There are some specific dates in Ancient Egyptian history that can’t be ignored at all. One of these dates is the Abu Simbel Sun Festival day, which

Sun Festival gathers everyone

takes place twice a year, in February and October, and is considered one

of the wonders of Ancient Egyptian civilization.

Many

Egyptians

and

visitors gathered on the day of the

Abu Simbel Sun Festival on Oct. 22, 2013, around the area of Abu Simbel Temple

in

the

southern

Egyptian

city of Aswan to witness a rare and exquisite

phenomenon, where

the

sun illuminates the inner sanctuary

of the temple. Everybody wonders how Ancient Egyptians could manage

to do it on this specific day with the measurements of the sun and its timings in the sky. Celebrations this

year are considered as a message to

the whole world, as it shows how safe it is to come and watch this unique

astronomical phenomenon of the sun

falling on the face of Ramses II, in which it is a good indicator that the tourism movement will return to the Egyptian archaeological sites despite the critical circumstances in the country. The sun

has been falling on the face of Ramses II on Oct. 22, 2013, 20 minutes in

the presence of 2200 Egyptians and foreigners along with Hisham Zaazou and Aswan Governor, Mostafa Yousri.

Volume 1 Issue 3

Understanding Diabetes Cairo and the magic Clinical A/ Prof George Albert Medical Practitioner & Director of the Shellharbour Medical Centre, Australia Diabetes is a complex condition, which can affect the entire body.

Understanding diabetes is important even if you don’t have it. You most likely know someone who has diabetes; maybe a family member or a friend.

This is because diabetes has reached epidemic proportions globally. Community awareness of the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is still surprisingly limited.

As a community we need to foster a culture of shared understanding of what diabetes is and be part of the solution that turns the diabetes epidemic around.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition. This means that it lasts for a long time, often for someone’s whole life. For our bodies to work properly, we need to convert glucose (sugar) from food into energy. A hormone called insulin is essential for the conversion of glucose into energy. In people with diabetes, insulin is no longer produced or not produced in sufficient amounts by the body. So when people with diabetes eat glucose, which is in foods such as bread, cereals, fruit and starchy vegetables, legumes, milk, yoghurt and sweets, it can’t be converted into energy. Instead of being turned into energy the glucose stays in the blood. This is why blood glucose levels are higher in people with diabetes.

Glucose is carried around your body in

your blood. Your blood glucose level is called glycaemia.

In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach, stops making insulin. Without insulin, the body’s cells cannot turn glucose (sugar) into energy. Without insulin the body burns its own fats as a substitute.

Unless treated with daily injections of insulin, people with Type 1 diabetes accumulate dangerous chemical substances in their blood from the burning of fat. This can cause a condition known as Ketoacidosis. This condition is potentially life-threatening if not treated. To stay alive, people with Type 1 diabetes depend on up to four insulin injections every day of their lives. They must test their blood glucose levels several times daily. The onset of Type 1 diabetes typically occurs in people under 30, but can occur at any age. About 10-15 percent of all cases of diabetes are Type 1.

Cause of Type 1 diabetes The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes is not yet known, but we do know it has a strong family link and cannot be prevented. We also know that it has nothing to do with lifestyle although maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important in helping to manage Type 1 diabetes. At this stage nothing can be done to prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes.

Colorful feluccas illuminating River Nile A foreign friend of mine traveled to Egypt two years ago. He was fascinated by it despite all the tension that happens now and then. Every time someone asks him about why he loves living in Cairo, he says, “Because Cairo nights are incomparable to any place I have visited.” And you have got to agree with this; Cairo nights have their own flavor.

It doesn’t matter what social class you come from or how much money you have.

In Cairo you can afford going out at night, and not only this, but actually enjoying every single moment of it.

You can choose from a luxurious hotel bar or restaurant overseeing the Nile to downtown coffee shops filled with people from different backgrounds and ages.

Passing through Nile Corniche, you will see the little boats and feluccas with all these bright colors, which can be disturbing to the eye because they are very bright, yet you still sense the harmony between these boats and the Nile. When moving in the river, it feels like the Nile is dancing to the melody of the music played.

Going inside the city, you will smell the scent of “shisha” with its different flavors, and people are laughing, talking and discussing different topics with smiles on their faces, listening to music and watching the satellite channels while drinking a cup of Cairo’s famous tea.

Cairo night simply enchants you to the charming atmosphere it has. It will embrace you within its beauty; it is unforgettable.

Traveling is without question the best life coach and experience you’ll get. Everything surrounding you is new and different. It’s an incredible feeling to leave your everyday bubble and hear new sounds, see new faces and figures, eat new food with different tastes, get exposed to a new kind of climate and learn about a history that doesn’t seem remotely connected to yours. When you get out of the box, the world starts to get wider in your eyes to a broad universe out there filled with endless sounds, tastes, colors, faces and scenes.

When gearing up for a trip, take into consideration what means of communication to use while traveling abroad even if you’re traveling solo. Your cellular phone has to be usable and available in case of emergencies, aside from connecting with family and friends back home of course. It’s also recommended to have Internet connection most times, especially when visiting a place for the first time; maps will come in handy in case you get lost. Other than that, Internet is indispensable to be

able to access any sort of information anytime anywhere. The bottom line is SIM cards are better to be reviewed in advance to decide which option is the most suitable during the trip. You can do this by searching online, asking a nomad, consulting natives and looking over forums and blogs; find what the common opinion is, using more than one source. Sometimes it happens that a communications service provider is good in one place but weak in another. Avoid just buying the first thing you stumble on at the airport because those are the priciest. When searching for SIM cards, bear these criteria in mind: trip duration (how long are you staying there?), usage frequency (do you need it for making international or local calls?), network coverage (is the signal reception strong and providing coverage over a wide area in case you travel out of town?). Make a wise decision, and don’t be rash, otherwise you’ll find yourself wasting time, trying to figure out how to use it and paying a visit to a mobile phone shop every day.

Let’s imagine that a European tourist sitting at home, watching TV and changing channels found an advertisement about tourism in Egypt. So, he decided to go to a tourist activating office to get more information. He was provided with all the information he needs. Then, he decided to have such an experience and travel to spend his leave in Egypt.

He booked through EgyptAir and was cordially received by the employees with nice smiles.

‫وأوحض زعزوح أنه مت االتفاق عىل جتديد اتفاقية التعاون املشرتك يف املجال السيايح اليت مت‬ ‫ باإلضافة إيل تجشيع االستمثارات السياحية اليونانية يف مرص‬2005 ‫توقيعها بني البلدين يف عام‬ .‫وبصفة خاصة يف جماالت املارينا البحرية اليت تمتزي فهيا اليونان خبربات ممتزية و واسعة‬ ‫ بالتعاون مع مرص‬،‫وأشار إىل أنه مت االتفاق عىل تمنية سياحة اليوم الواحد بني مرص واليونان‬ ‫للطريان و اليت سيمت وضع من خالهلا براجم مشرتكة للساحئني القادمني من اليونان لزيارة‬ .‫األهرامات واملناطق األثرية و السياحية يف القاهرة‬

Before arriving to Egypt, EgyptAir Company has got benefits from that tourist by booking his round trip ticket on the national airlines through the foreign offices; also taxi driver, employees and labors of hotel benefited from him. Even the Ministry of Antiquities did through the tickets he paid in hard currency to enter those tourist shrines.

‫تناولت زيارة وزير السياحة هشام زعزوع برفقة رئيس امجلهورية املستشار عديل منصور لليونان‬ ‫ملف السياحة الذي معلوا من خالله جاهدين عيل فتح آفاق جديدة للتعاون يف جمال السياحة بني‬ .‫ و أن من املتو ّقع ظهور نتاجئ ممتزية مع اجلانب اليوناين‬،‫البلدين‬

Imagine with me for a moment all these individuals and companies, big or small, that got benefits from this tourist as an individual. How about when this number is doubled and this tourist becomes consecutive tourist groups? We will find the individuals, companies, shops and factories work all together and produce and make profits from such a tourist or groups coming from many countries. There is an instant question: Is there any sector in Egypt that can provide work opportunities whether industrial or commercial and assure salaries, except tourism? Let’s move to another point, which is extremely important, namely, growth and development of human behavior. Human behavior is reflected on those dealing with the tourism sector, by gaining some developed cultures without affecting our beliefs, original eastern and religious habits.

This is also extended to other sectors, such as hospitals, development of roads and airports, opening new facilities to serve this field, and hence provide new work opportunities for youth. Let’s imagine that all this has actually taken place. So, how will it be in ten years, whether for the country or individuals? We can’t forget that we are a consuming and unfortunately a nonproductive country, and hence the foreign currency controls all prices inside the country! When we provide the hard currency, the rate of exchange will be settled, and the Egyptian pound will be stable before other currencies, and hence prices will be stable in general. Everybody benefits from this, even those who do not work in this field. The question now after all these facts, which are actually real, isn’t tourism worthy to be the national issue of Egypt? Shouldn’t it be changed into a national security issue, which affects the people and country alike?

Ramses II illuminating face shows genius of Ancient Egyptians Fatma Elsayed

The future of tourism 2014

Hisham Zaazou, Minister of Tourism Remarkable efforts have been exerted

by Egyptian Tourism Minister, Hisham Zaazou, who served as Chairman of Egypt’s Tourism Federation between 2003 and 2007. Zaazou has appeared to be one of the most active ministers nowadays, as it has been highlighted by his ongoing trips back and forth to achieve the highest rates of governmental interaction with other countries, so that Egypt would bring back its tourists.

Zaazou has declared that more than 50 percent of tourists to Egypt come from Europe and America every year, and the operators of these countries had no intention of talking about the future during his visits, as a result of the international warnings that had been put on Egypt; however, he has also added that 21 countries, mostly in Europe, have lifted their warnings, in addition to Japan and China who also have issued tourist warnings against Egypt. Meanwhile, some of his efforts were exerted in his last visit to Greece, as he has been reaching agreements with his Greek peer to fix itineraries between Greece and Egypt, in addition to using some of their experiences in constructing ports.

Moreover, Zaazou is aware of the importance of working on achieving the goals and targets of reaching the tourism levels of 2010 of 14.7 million visitors, as he announced in a recent press conference in Berlin, quoting “My target is to at least reach 14 million by the end of 2013,” adding that he maybe a dreamer, but he is working very hard.

In celebration of Ramses II birthday

Review

Sunlight streams through stone, enlightening the statuettes of Ramses, Ra and Amun.

Thousands of tourists and Egyptians come every year to this area to observe how the sun sends its stream of light that sneaks gradually to the inner sanctum of the main temple enlightening the statuettes of King Ramses and sun gods Ra and Amun while the statue of Ptah, the God of Darkness, remains in shade during these two times of the year. Ramses II built his temple at Abu Simbel so that the internal chamber would light up two times a year: once on the anniversary of his ascension to the throne on Octover 22, and once on his birthday on February 22. On the other hand, the whole world considers these two days as a unique astronomical phenomenon, which occurs twice a year, in which it stands along with the other wonders and mysteries of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

A very interesting 13-day schedule has been fixed for those who were planning to visit Egypt during February to be able to witness this wonder, in addition to visiting other historical sites like the Pyramids and Saqqara, Philae Temple, the High Dam, Kom Ombo and Edfu Temple and Valley of the Kings. On the other hand, tourists are to witness the Sun Festival — Temple of King Ramses II, Abu Simbel, which is the aim of fixing this itinerary. Among these historical sites are other places to be visited like the Egyptian Museum, giving the tourists the chance to go on a Nile cruise, in addition to visiting the Red Sea after taking off in Luxor.

Abu Simbel is not only a group of massive temples in the southern Egyptian city of Aswan that were built by one of the most famous kings in the Ancient Egyptian civilization, Ramses II, but also their significance lies behind the reconstruction and removal, because they were threatened by the

submersion of Lake Nasser, during the

7000 years, we have to restore them

result, the temple was moved to higher

and monuments are considered to be a

construction of the High Dam. As a

ground and later became a UNESCO

World Heritage Site after it was saved

by International Campaign launched by

UNESCO from the Nile rising water.

Also this site is essential not only for

Egyptians but for tourists around the

world as well who love and enjoy coming to see these fantastic historical monuments. Since it’s a very important

site, a worldwide attention is paid to these examples of monuments, which

you can’t find easily. The great and important effort done by the UNESCO

to save the temple and moving the temple to higher ground so that it would not be inundated by the waters of Lake Nasser is appreciated by Egyptians

and everyone around the universe for its great importance and for sure its historical and cultural significance. If it

weren’t for the UNESCO, this site would

be destroyed and gone with the wind.

All the people around the world should keep their heritage safe and clean in

order to make it last longer. Although

these monuments lasted for more than

from time to another. These temples mirror of the country, which has these monuments, and they also show their

culture and they spread it around the

world. We should protect our history and culture in order to be ready for our

future and never forget the past. The past is the basis of today, tomorrow and forever. These temples are the

Temple of Re-Harakhte (The Sun Temple of Ramses II), which is the main

temple that was dedicated to Ramses

II and to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Harakhte, Amun-Re and Ramses

II himself. Of the seven temples he built, Abu Simbel is considered to be

the most impressive. Meanwhile, the

second temple is Nefertari’s Temple of

Hathor (Abu Simbel — Small Temple), in which Hathor was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two temples, that of Ramses II and that

of Nefertari, brought Ramses II and Nefertari and Hathor and the Sun God together as one.

A book a day keeps the doctor away! Of course we’re tending to be sarcastic, because it’s not really easy for someone to start and finish a book every day; however reading is as crucial as eating healthy food. Although many people drop this case out of their minds, when it comes to daily life responsibilities, and how they are engaged with their lives, yet others are still keen on reading, and they are those who chase books in bookstores, kiosks or even buy them on different sidewalks.

Cairo’s bookworms are rolling their sleeves up and getting ready for the Cairo International Book Fair, as it’s one of the most important and well-known cultural festivals in the Middle East, in addition to the whole world. It’s taking place in Cairo Fair Grounds in Nasr City.

Organizational Environments ‫تشكيل لجنة دائمة لتطوير‬ domain, and it can be divided into subenvironments or sectors that contain similar elements. Each environmental sector represents an important segment or the environment that has the potential for influencing the survival and effectiveness of the organization.

Eight of the most important sectors according to David J. Cherrington and Laura Z. Middleton 2013 are the following.

Dr. Hanan Abdel Moniem Human Resources, MIDOR PH.D, CM, C.T.O.L All organizations are required to interact with their environment. Organizations depend on their environment to provide the necessary resources and to consume their services/products. The services/products must be acceptable to society, and organizations need to obtain a favorable exchange so that they can recycle their services/ products and convert them into new resources.

The survival of an organization can be threatened by public disapproval.

An organization can be terminated, or drastically restricted, if society disapproves of its products, the way they are produced, or its failure to comply with social expectations such as safety requirements, environment pollution standards, tariff agreements and other legal requirements. The environment of tobacco companies, for example, has become increasingly hostile because of adverse scientific research, changing social customs and anti-smoking laws.

In a broad sense, an organization’s environment is infinite and includes everything outside the organization.

This is called the organization’s

1- Human Resources Sector: The human resources sector includes the labor market and all the sources from which potential employees may be obtained, including employment agencies, universities, technical schools and other educational institutions.

Employees can also be enticed from other organizations. Having a thorough understanding of this sector is an HR manager’s primary responsibility when participating in strategic management.

2- Raw Materials Sector: Raw materials must be obtained from the external environment. These materials include everything from paper and students for a university, patients for a hospital, iron ore for the steel mill and insecticide for a farm. The raw materials sector for the auto industry includes a large number of suppliers and parts manufactures.

3Financial Resources Sector: Money is an essential input for most organizations and an especially crucial input for a new company. The financial resources sector includes places where needed money can be obtained such as banks, savings and loan institutions, stock markets and venture capitalists.

3- Financial Resources Sector: Money is an essential input for most organizations and an especially crucial input for a new company. The financial resources sector includes places where needed money can be obtained such as banks, savings and loan institutions, stock markets and venture capitalists.

5- Technology Sector: Technology is the use of available knowledge and techniques to produce goods and services. The technology sector includes scientific research centers, universities and the research and development efforts of other organizations that contribute to new production techniques and the creation of new knowledge.

6- Industry Sector: An industry encompasses all the organizations in the same type of business, most of who act as competitors to an organization.

The size of the industry and the number of other competing firms create a unique industry sector for each organization. An industry dominated by one or two major corporations, such as heavy-equipment-manufacturing, is much different from an industry characterized by hundreds of all small companies, such as the fast food industry.

7- Economics Sector: Organizations are not isolated from economic conditions.

The success and effectiveness of an organization is influenced by the health of the overall economy and by such factors as whether the economy is expanding or contracting. Some of the most important aspects of this sector include economic growth, unemployment rates, recessions, inflation rates and the rate of investment.

8- Government Sector: The sector includes all the local laws, as well as the regulatory agencies that administer these laws and the judicial system that resolves disputes.

The secret to being remarkable recognized photograph” in the history of the National Geographic magazine.

This one photo is what made Steve McCurry so remarkable and famous.

Mohamed Tohami Why do some people do impressively great work, while the majority live and die unnoticed? Are you scared of the idea of being average and unnoticed?

There is a secret that can increase your chances of being remarkable. But first, let me tell you a little bit about a photographer named Steve McCurry.

He took a photo of an Afghan girl named Sharbat Gula. That photograph became very famous and brought her recognition when it was featured on the cover of June 1985 issue of the National Geographic magazine. At that time Sharbat was only 12 years old!

This one photograph has been linked to Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Mona Lisa and sometimes referred to as “the Afghan Mona Lisa.” In addition, the photo was named “the most

Now, would you like to know the secret of being remarkable? You’ll easily discover the secret when you know that beyond that one photo, McCurry has shot over a MILLION IMAGES spanning 35 years! A million images and 35 years of continuous effort and passion to capture stories grounded in people and the experience etched on their faces. Unfortunately, the majority of people don’t know their true passion and purpose in life. They waste year after year wandering between dozens of paths without experiencing the true feeling of happiness and fulfillment.

Even those who know their passions can’t devote their heart, mind and soul to their passion for very long. They give up too early and that’s why they never become remarkable. Being clear about your PASSION, being committed, being patient and willing to devote your life to your field of passion are all important factors for doing great work.

But here is THE REAL SECRET…The real secret to being remarkable is: BEING PROLIFIC!

You can find many people who are passionate and focused, but they are not remarkable enough: simply because, they are not prolific. You must

be prolific and produce a sheer volume of work and value without being hindered by the illusion of perfection.

You can’t predict the epic work that will make you remarkable; being remarkable only comes unexpectedly after continuous, dedicated passionate and prolific work. In Steve McCurry’s example, out of a million good images only ONE became his lifetime landmark or epic work. You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to be prolific.

Produce work and value in abundance, and one day, unexpectedly, one of your life works will become a worldwide sensation!

The power of Facebook marketing ‫اصدار تطبيق جديد من جوجل‬ ‫للتحكم في الحاسوب عن ُبعد‬ and how to stand out Here are a few of my own tips.

Content calendar Proactively plan the content you’re going to share and when you’re going to share it. A plan will help to create a schedule you can commit to, and give your audience an idea of what to expect from your posts on a regular basis; also be spontaneous, don't get boring.

Be social

Lara Fawzy Have you seen how many brands are using Facebook pages in Egypt to market their products? International companies, small businesses and celebrities are all leveraging Facebook including I am Cairo, Mona Zaki, Azza Fahmy, BMW Egypt, Emaar Misr, Mercedes, Basem Youseff and many more.

It’s a crowded market. It’s no surprise, with over 13 million users; Egypt has the largest number of Facebook users in the Arab World. As the figure shows, that doesn’t include all Egyptians and there are still many other diverse ways to market and reach audiences.

Before participating in social media marketing, it’s important that your target audience is defined and clear goals are set, whether they include selling, raising brand awareness, market research or customer care — this will improve effectiveness, ensuring social media is used as a serious marketing tool.

How do brands stand out on Facebook?

I am Cairo has organically grown their page to 173,908 likes (with no advertising) and maintains a great 'talking about this’ rate of over 30 percent! That’s an amazing figure in a crowded market and beats some international brands hands down.

Too many brands use Facebook as an advertising and sales tool. Ask yourself this, do you log on to Facebook daily to be advertised to? Probably not — you are more likely to be looking for the latest news and updates from your friends and family and of course to socialize.

Brands also need to be social; brands need to present personality and engage with fans. So if you own a page, don’t just sell, advertise, sell advertise — socialize! Post interesting stories that are relevant to your target audience and your product while encouraging interaction. Social media is a two-way conversation: ask your fans relevant questions now and then make your brand appear more human.

Pictures Pictures can be a great way to cut through all the noise in the newsfeed.

Photography should be high quality and professional. The photos should follow company-branding policies, present a unique brand identity and be engaging so that when fans scroll though their newsfeeds they will want to stop at your posts. Get creative; don’t just use images, use text and videos too.

Post frequency You want to aim to be in your followers’ newsfeeds fairly regularly; experiment posting at least twice per day if not more and monitor engagement. You shouldn’t only post when the time suits

you, you should aim to have a regular ongoing dialogue with fans — that’s why some companies hire full-time social media managers. If you don’t have time, you can also schedule posts in advance.

Check your insights to find out when your fans are online and try posting just a few minutes before and after these times to start to gain comments, likes and engagement before most of your fans are online.

Test, test, test Test content, statuses, questions, frequency, images and times and learn from the Insights tool about what’s working best for your page.

Ahmed Hossam officially trains Zamalek

Friday 31-01-2014

Why is playing sports important?

Mido is very excited about this experience especially that it is offered to him at a very young age. He says, “Youth should be given a chance, and this will open the door to new opportunities.”

The decision to hire Mido opened the door to a controversy; some believe as a young footballer he might not have the sufficient experience to train a big team like Zamalek. Others believe that with Mido’s international experience, he will add a lot to the team.

Mido has a big challenge ahead of him.

He will be the leader and trainer for the first team of a strong African club. Will he be able to take this responsibility, or will his attitude ruin this for him?

We will find this out when the season starts.

Have you ever wondered why we should exercise daily? And why should it be a habit?

Well, let me tell you why: because your body is meant to be healthy anyhow. Your way of living should contain at least one exercise daily like walking, for example. As we can see nowadays, the trend is being more aware of playing sports daily and keeping our bodies healthy.

That is exactly what all of us need, not just want. We need to be healthy.

Practicing sports makes our mood way better and makes us think better

and eat better. Only walking for 30 minutes every day will make us feel happier and better. It also takes us far away from doctors and helps us be fit. Fitness is not just in sports; it’s a way to live our life.

Take care of your health and keep in mind that your body will pay back if you don’t protect it. Protect your body from diseases, common flu and cough. That’s only one small example of what sports can do to your body.

So be fit in order to be healthy and active.

Entrepreneurship starts at an early age – true or false?

of the business, the bulk of the work will be done by you. So do you have what it takes and are you willing to go through with the business when the going gets tough?  Ability to accept mistakes – Committing mistakes is an inevitable part of starting and running a business.

The key is to accept when you’re wrong and work toward making it right instead of being stubborn. Otherwise, you’ll just waste precious time and resources.

Mentor & Independent Business Consultant, Founder & CEO, InveNst Ventures LLC, Ideaneurs Magazine and ByPlink solutions Does entrepreneurship really start at an early age? One thing is clear: starting out young has significant advantages. It is exceedingly important to take your children more seriously; kids are curious about everything and are easily excited about learning. Help them achieve their potential early on by encouraging them to think like entrepreneurs! Help them acquire the following.  Risk-taking attitude – Some people don’t have the stomach to take on risks. While there is nothing wrong with that, this also means that your chances of attaining astounding success are limited. As they say, “high risks will yield high reward,” however the reverse is also true.  Independence – It is important to be able to think and work independently as an entrepreneur. In the initial stages

But at the end of the day, becoming successful is not just a factor of age – that is only one part of it. There are some young people who have the drive and creativity to create a business because they see an opening in the market, a new trend or just as likely, they have few other options in the traditional jobs market due to a perceived lack of marketable skills.

Starting out young provides distinct advantages and it heavily influences the type of business in which the entrepreneurs become engaged in and their ability to detect an unmet need among their same-age community that makes a lucrative business opportunity.

What not to do in an interview Yomna Hisham

Many of us don’t know what to do in an interview and what not to do, so here are some things that will help you when interviewing for a job. These points will be helpful for you and give you new ideas about the interviewers and the interviewees.  Don’t talk too much or too short The interviewer always asks you in order to listen to what you’re saying, so don’t answer with very long answers, neither too short. And don’t laugh too much, only if needed is better.  Don’t give a wrong answer You should listen carefully to the question otherwise you will give the impression that you don’t concentrate.

Volume 1 Issue 3

 Don’t dress inappropriately You have to dress formal and never go in jeans or sneakers. This gives the employer a bad impression of you.  Don’t sit down before invited Never sit before being invited by the interviewer.  Don’t be late for the appointment Bear it in your mind that punctuality is the key. Never come too late, and you have to respect time.  Don’t forget to keep your mobile silent Never enter the interview room without keeping your mobile silent, and if someone called you, never try to get it out of your pocket and answer it.

Mohamed Samir Shabeeb Entrepreneur, Economist and Start-ups Coach Entrepreneurs are suffering from the lack of providing support, information, market statistics and funds to the new startups and ventures. It seems that governmental support is only available for the big investors or any business that has a capital starting from EGP 10 million: no conferences, no information, no industry insights or market analysis. The American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt is providing the industries with insights and advice, unlike some ministries. The only solution to this poor performance is establishing research centers like NGOs.

‫من الشباب املغامر الذين قد مت القاء القبض‬ ‫ حيث يقفز‬،‫علهيم لتعريض حياهتم للخطر‬ ‫ممارسهيا من عيل أسطح املباين الشاهقة أو‬ ‫الكباري و يربطوا حول وسطهم حبل مطايط‬ .‫مث يقومو بالقفز‬

The government is pounding entrepreneurs in the legal processes of business establishment. I sometimes wonder why entrepreneurs should rent a place for establishing a company in Egypt while developed countries like US, UK, Canada, Australia and others are depending on a personal postal code and website domain for establishing your own business. Why does the government put so much pressure on youth in startup establishment to pay many unreasonable or realistic overheads?

This question made many youth follow concepts of developed countries and they established something called Coworking Space that aims to gather all new entrepreneurs under one roof to launch their own businesses with the lowest costs as possible. If you were to pay EGP 2000 for rent for a useless apartment, you could join any coworking space starting from EGP 600 only. Try to join The District in Maadi or AlMaqarr in Heliopolis.

Entrepreneurs wouldn’t feel safe without a law that recognizes the sector of entrepreneurship and technology. Currently all entrepreneurs are working together as the three musketeers; all for one and one for all.

Professional Spanish stunt rider, Emilio Zamora, waving to fans at Biker Zone Expo & Show event in Cairo Festival City.

Salma Magdi The Spanish stunt rider, Emilio Zamora, dazzled us with his outstanding skills and moves during the Biker Zone Expo & Show event so there was no way that we would miss an interview with him. We exchanged conversation about his short stay in Cairo and about his love for motorbikes.

1. How long have you been riding bikes?

I’ve been a bike rider since I was 5 years old and now I’m 31 so that makes 26 years of bike riding. I started to perform stunts at the age of 14 then with regular and hard training, I did my first professional stunt show when I was 18. I’ve been with Ducati since 2005. I love motorbikes; they are my life.

2. Is this your first time in Cairo?

Yeah, and it’s very exciting. I’ve never been to Egypt. It’s a beautiful country, with beautiful and friendly people, which is very nice. Here in Egypt, all people smile.

I’m very happy to be here. I’ve been to only few parts of the city but I like it so much. The best thing is that I can ride my motorbike in the city and have a very exciting and fun experience.

3. What do you think about the motorbike community in Cairo?

I don’t know so much about it but this event in Cairo and the people who attend and participate in it make a great community. I think it’s good, especially Cairo’s sunny weather allowing you to go by motorbike anytime anywhere. Also, in the small parts of the city, you could ride your motorbike and move at high speed.

This event is a thumbs up for the motorbike community and industry in Egypt.

4. You have ridden many bikes. Tell me about your most preferable ones.

CAIRO FESTIVAL CITY - Phenomena Creative Spot organizes Biker Zone Expo & Show in an event starting from Jan. 16 to 18, 2014, hosted by Cairo Festival City in 5th Settlement. The 3-day event for the first time in Cairo brings motorbike enthusiasts and riders together featuring the world of motorbikes, scooters and bicycles, given the late increasing awareness, in addition to a group of fun activities and stunt shows.

On the first day, the event kicked off at 6:30 p.m. with an opening speech

by Ibrahim Farid, Vice President of the Motorcycle Union of the Mediterranean Countries, followed by Zumba dance performance, musical performances by Egyptian underground musicians like Lamo2khza Band and Glass Onion, DJs till the end of the day and finally a stunt show. On Jan. 17, a

number of exhibitors showcased their products on the catwalk besides music performed throughout the day, which was the same for the final day that also ended with stunt performances by Saudi Ahmed Albakri and Spanish Emilio Zamora, professional stunt riders.

A lot of young attendees and families were present from morning till evening at the event enjoying the stunt shows, musical performances, food chains and snack kiosks, kids and games zone and mingling with groups sharing their interests.

For me, all bikes are a favorite. Maybe Ducati Multistrada is the perfect bike because it has four different riding modes. This bike is suitable for a lot of things: for the city, for travel, for the road, etc. It’s the perfect motorbike.

5. Do you have any upcoming events?

Soon we’ll be doing shows in Milan, Italy, and there are also two or three events to be held in Spain.

I am Cairo, We are Cairo, You are Cairo My first trip to Egypt as a tourist was in 1989. After several tours over the years in the land of “A Thousand and One Nights´,” I fell in love with Egypt. Today active in Cairo as an entrepreneur, I consider myself a Cairene.

I am Cairo, Biker Zone Expo & Show Guide Media Partner, sat down with Ducati Stunt Rider, Emilio Zamora, to discuss his love for motorbikes and his visit to Cairo and also conducted an interview with a diving group that is to be broadcasted on I am Cairo Online Radio.

Following the hype of new media initiatives in the city, I thought it was the right time to develop a new creative idea — I am Cairo. We transformed Cairo, the mysterious city with many faces, into a trademark.

With pleasure we present you, besides I am Cairo Magazine, I am Cairo Official City Guide, I am Cairo Online Radio and City News by I am Cairo. City News discusses various interesting topics in several categories

Celebrations around the world Valentine’s Day

Valentine Trends There are many trends followed and everyone has the ability to make their own new trend but most of all there some specific well-known trends.

For example, there are people who celebrate it privately at home with spouses. Think of something you never did before or long time no do. You can wake up earlier than your spouse and prepare a lovely breakfast and try to change the location of your breakfast, for instance.

Want to get it on the budget?

No worries, we can help you to celebrate your valentine’s day on the budget. Let me tell you something that

could cure his jailer’s daughter from being blind and he fell in love with her.

His last letter to her was signed “From your Valentine” and this marked the very first valentine greeting. In order to honor him, a famous pope at that time made February 14, Saint Valentine’s Day, a day to honor him in 496 A.D. Some believe that the choice of this particular date was an effort by the Christian to curve the celebration of pagan fertility festival called Lupercalia taking place between the 13th and the 15th of the month. This festival was celebrated to honor the Roman God and the founders of Rome and the rituals of sacrifice and feasting.

The association of romantic love with Valentine’s Day did not actually emerge until the Middle Ages when a poem by the English poet Jeffrey

Chaucer linked February 14th with the start of the mating period for birds.

Valentine’s Day grew popularly over the centuries. People automatically adopted the traditions of exchanging romantic hand-written notes with one another. Then in the 1800s a woman named Ester Helen became inspired by the fancy cards made in England.

By spearing the mass production in the US, she became known as the mother of American Valentine. During the next century the celebration of valentine expanded to include gift-giving of chocolates, jewelry and flowers. These tokens of affection are exchanged not only between romantic partners but also between loved ones and friends.

Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated all over the world.

Did you know that Valentine’s Day is also known as Saint Valentine’s Day? Have you ever thought about this special day and what really happened for it to be celebrated all over the world? And why should we have a spouse to celebrate this day with them?

Valentine’s Day is celebrated on the 14th of February every year. People on this day exchange greeting cards, flowers and presents in the name of love and Saint Valentine.

History Valentine was a priest who went against the orders of the Roman Emperor Claudius II by conducting marriages between soldiers and their loved ones.

These actions ultimately led to his execution. But before his death, he
