that arabic phrase mean that the mother of the world, i love it because that's what lots of people in the arabic speaking world called egypt, feed upon in many associate egypt with the pyramids. but there's another science, it's often under as active the mediterranean via isn't today we're in northern egypt about to take an exciting journey along the coast, castillo, and sash bottom. egypt is considered the cradle of civilization. the pyramids of visa are among the oldest buildings in the world. they lie just a few kilometers from the capital, cairo, and the nile, the life blood of the country flows into the mediterranean sea. egypt connects north africa with the middle east. the country is home to over 100000000 people. my journey begins in the 2nd largest city alexandria. it's major library. the video

taker is andrena, which opened in 2002 is right here on the promenade. it's not my 1st visit. and once again, i'm struck by how much egyptian society is characterized by start contrasts. oh, very conservative values collide with modernity. i wonder what impact those differences have on dating and finding a parker shakima ali founded the muslim dating away a woman in egypt or in the middle east. it's difficult for hair to like have dates like in what happens in west western countries. so that's why when we saw to fag creating a mobile application that helped a young muslim women and men find their life partner. shy my under colleagues, you scientific methods and psychological testing to find the right partner for

every one of us. but the most important thing is how the app is structured. it has to be modern without conflicting with religious and cultural values. the social consensus is that women should marry young and have lots of children that i didn't get the idea. and i got to be really, they came to me and they at the found is because we had these experiences, highway away people to the way my mother's friends put her on to psychological question. do you think she would come to me and say, he thought old, but ever since i was 24, i've been under that psychological pressure even though i work and unsuccessful and i have lots of healthy, so i travel one, but none of that is recognized by egyptian families, they see marriage is the so indicator. if a girl success, i guess, you know, i have been basically now the goes. how thought mode walk on the dinner list. while

the focus on islam said when religion may be no longer play such a role in marriage to dash, les allowed dollar has a name of it, then it we have the feeling muslims have concerns about getting to know each other . 3 dating the thought of these days it'd be young muslim, is want to use something modern, something technically up to date. but at the same time, they don't want something that their parents might say is how much all they inappropriate all wrong, hot on a wave, overlooked by people. what about relationships outside marriage? i think of the how we know. and the idea with have idea is that it's minutes and marriage. so of course we didn't tell anyone, used the words that they have to get married within a certain time, but they should understand that to relationship they start through this happy is serious. i was laid it, but i missed my fresh fish straight from the mediterranean for saw him. it's a hobby for others. a tough way of making a living though,

but a passion for seafood unites all alexandria. what a tell you a the 1st port of call for all manner of specially prepared seafood is the restaurant to fear situated right by the water. the kitchen is overseen by head shout mohammed jumper, who it is on the deck, was the mark. one of them i can look at that again. i think this kid to some of these fish here is so much removal. are they all from the military? not around alexandria, you know, little from the mediterranean. we don't have any from the red sea. i show it once that want you mussa someone was it's called mu. so every my as wise at special ed and it tastes very good fried weights and you can also stuff it, you can have it with vasa, but it's best friday of the legally unmet nutrition system. one told me about something called single in getty or light to make sun gary. i cut open
