a to be in june and responsibilities. how can you help you join us to get to know the people and their dreams, mediterranean. the come to egypt, the land of the pharaohs, the north african nation has around 700 kilometers of mediterranean coast. i don't know if i'm gonna do now. most of that arabic phrase mean the mother of the world. i love it because that's what lots of people in the arabic speaking world, call each beautiful name, are many associated egypt with the pyramids. i mean what, there's a,

the other side gets off and on because that is the mediterranean. these in the day we're in northern egypt about to take an exciting journey along the coast to coast . doing this with the egypt is considered the cradle of civilization. the pyramids of keys are among the oldest buildings in the world. they live just a few kilometers from the capital, cairo, and denials, the lifeblood of the country flows into the mediterranean sea. egypt connex, north africa with the middle east to the country is home to over 100000000 people the by journeys the dns and the 2nd largest city alexandria. it's major library, the video taker, alexander, you know, which opened in 2002 is right here. on the from a not it's not my 1st visit. and once again,

i'm struck by how much egyptian society is characterized by start contracts. very conservative values collide with maternity. i wonder what the impact those differences have on dating and finding a parking showing more of the found at the muslim dating a way that women in egypt or in the middle east. it's difficult for hair to like have dates like and what happens in the was western countries. so that's why when we sort of creating a mobile application, the tell a young muslim women and men find their large partner chime under colleagues through 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. of

the social consensus is that women should marry young and have lots of children to get the idea. and they really, they came to me and they have the found is because we have these experiences. however, the way people to me that's the way my mother's friends puts her into psychological depression. so do you think she would come to me and say, he foretold the $24.00? i see it ended up psychological pressure even though i was done successfully. i have lots of puppies as i travel. but none of that is recognized by gyptian families. they see marriage has the soul indicate terrific go success. i guess, you know who's been submitted to go to the dean. is that why is the focus on is lot when religion may be no longer play such a role in marriage today? we have the feeling muslims have concerns about getting to know each of the 3 day thing. is this all these days as a young muslim, just want to use something modern,

have ever something technically up to date. at the same time, they don't want something that the parents might say is best for inappropriate to wrong wave. what about relationships outside marriage and pick up that how we know the id with avaya is because it's minutes and married. and of course, we don't tell anyone and using words that they have to get married within a certain time, they should understand, but to relationship they stop through this app is serious. all right, on the fresh fish straight from the mediterranean. for some, it's a hobby for others, a tough way of making a living. but of nation for sea food, united all alexandria. what to tell you the,

the 1st port of call for all manner of specially prepared sea food is the restaurant to fear situated right on the water. the kitchen is overseen by hedge that homage jumping. space here. are they all from the minute you remain around alexandria for you and mediterranean? we don't have any sort of the read seeing what's that? i want someone to say it's cool. who said everybody, why is that special? and it tastes very good fried points and you can also stuff that you can have it with bosses. but it's best to try to of the met, someone told me about something called thing gary and gary would like to make sun gallery icons hoping to launch page and sending it off and then awesome. now let's have some goodies and let's take this one. you can mix angry with this too, right, buddy. and all those right. of course, and some squids. i'm going to keep,

i'm in grade. yeah. and you'll show me how to make it all m a special feeling. the today is saturday. things are busy in the kitchen. the i'm getting hungry, the oil and lemon mixture. oil and lemon mixture. it's a very alexandria and it's for the fish. we use it for the feeling garlic, some areas deal must good. i'm fine. so you know, this is son gary. he is now fish. first, we sprayed salt on the basing tray, so the fish doesn't stick. we'll take to fish all day one and you do one. okay, so we do with like this without hands, oil and lemon. you take around an ottoman and that's how you make you'll see

oh my god, i've never cooked anything like this. yes. just like that. a new shift. the that's the mussa i what's that? the most of teach we failed. oh yeah, i recognize it now. and that's what she, what do you most people order here in the sun gallery finished and because the souls mixture is really special, i mean, one of the best sources we have in alexandria. ok. need international dictionary. and as i what i walked in in the day and we could still do well, we can prepare anything that comes out of the sea. but not until the 1950s,

greek battalion, french, and british migrants lived and worked in alexandria today. the port city with a population of around 5000000 has a major social problems like poverty and the housing shortage in 2019 and egyptians average monthly income was around 235 years engineering apprenticeship for study. i only went to school until 3 9th grade. why i didn't finish school education doesn't feed you learning a trade or a job pays more. my father died when i was 6. there was no one to look after me so long as you've been working kind of 29. what age did you start? 14. 1491? yes. i'm leaving out. is andrea intending to

wrestle body just under 3 hours away by car. gets situated on both the mediterranean sea and the nile delta for thousands of years. the river has been egypt. sliped like 2 minutes here in at austin. and now hearing that i said simon, cindy was in arabic at means head of the tongue, the whole distance called that because behind me it's the longest river in the world. denial flows into the mediterranean window in mrs. vale and us. oh here. most people here find that really special customers on this is another special thing about tommy at the province here is that it has the country's 1st female question, governor hon. you're not going to meet or just a few kilometers further down the nile. delta is the city of dime, yet it's a driving force in the capital of dummy at the province in 2018. talk to him. i know i'll watch me shy is became the 1st competent

christian to head the provincial government of egypt. and she's only the 2nd woman ever to govern. one of the countries $27.00 provinces, the beginning of the whole country is moving towards the empowerment of women tests. and the i'm very interested in women being financially socially and culturally strong. and it's one of the most important prerequisites for a modern country. what happened is most successful, the of predominantly muslim egypt an estimated 10 percent of the population are christian. most of them coptic christians or not i'll meet you who was a christian herself is heavily protected by security guards. radical islamic type repeatedly attacked institutions like churches and schools and christians also face

state discrimination here or the modesty show. and then what does this experience mean? for you and mostly because you represent egypt and also a religious minority that any even of christians in the country don't like to see themselves as somebody's already at the end of the day. there are far fewer of you than there are muslims. yes. and is very, uh, i was very pleased, i took it as a sign that egypt has changed, but people don't get advantages because of a background when instead positions are allocated to candidates because of a suitability for the job. because if it is now and then let's go to the student, we now have a constitution that protects the rights of christians. if people would exceed their wealth for laws that protect the rights of women and christians and also there isn't other religions. i know the student would have, let's see, the law states this, but the reality is different. the name is kind of body view. for example, the law may encourage the restoration of churches. how long is the social node is different. and jody most with a lot of good for the columbus,

this all seek to be then had the little few. there might be a few troublemakers in some villages where your father caught up. so look, that was, that can be the case any time it can anywhere in the they've been have been, it'd be factors are exactly the exxon preference of the way we can teach people except to and respect him for the time. but if it isn't difficult, but couldn't the, the couple of the coma who would get the, unless it, some egyptians say that they're happy in egypt isn't a phase of positive change to hear what other outside of it. but others say freedoms are being suppressed. come out and political views are being suppressed. i see a see there are political prisoners, most likely. and what kind of egypt do you see today on the movies? that much so that they are associated times when search and things on possible modal by the rule that they couldn't, if you could. now, off to the upheaval and the revolution, it's easy to sway public opinion and on special people live demonstration. as the mother of the country just can't handle that drug. now,

many of them but of egypt has just experienced an economic collapse austin way i'll see. and then is the connect as well. and then also, why can't you have a functioning economy and a change in any most of the one lady who, while you're talking about security matches here, icons come in some other for tennessee. since the so called error of the spring and 2011, many have been fighting for freedom, democracy and human rights. it's been a hard struggle, especially since i've dentist. r. c. c became president from danita. i'm traveling to force, i eat 50 kilometers away. the modern industrial ports that he lives on the suez canal completed in 1869. the canal can next, the mediterranean, with the red sea. these days, most vessels that passed through the waterway. our container ships from the far east for oil tankers from the gulf, the

on the ferry, i mean architect mohammad, how he's offered to give me a historical tour of the city where between 2 continents, between africa and asia, for a lot is on the asian side and for site on the african side or flood is the newer city. it wasn't built until 1926. well 4 site dates from 1859. the city was built for suez canal workers. both wives, grand mosque isn't the only interesting thing the city has to offer. the colonial architecture was also remarkable. the european influence is visible everywhere. the canal was nationalized in 1956 by egypt and president, come, i've done nothing for that. for flood was mainly home to foreigners working for the

franco british suez canal company. she had to tell me about what you do with that we run tours to make additions aware of the history of their country. and also for people from abroad for site is not a tourist destination and when you come to egypt, people tell you, go to unlock sir la swan sharma will shake the hob. so the chiral alexandria and no one says of course i even cite some why is history important events the mirror of the future? if you have no history that you have no future, much of egypt depends on tourism. and both one has more to offer than expected. so much walking around makes you hungry and something sweet would be the perfect pick me up. we had to a local bakery. this is delicious. it's very, very, very sweet. but absolutely delicious. i'm going to take some to go to

the the people in this region always want their sweets to be really sweet with loads of sugar like in europe and most of them there. they don't like things to be a sweet is here. personally, i like sugar. what do you think the people want things to be sweet? how life's a hard enough? why shouldn't we at least sweep now food a little or maybe it's because sugar makes you happy. it makes you feel good. yeah, the uh about sugar are not the main thing is it tastes great. he also bought a little bread to feed the c goals on the ferry back to forsythe. the i don't want to philosophize,

but people who live odyssey don't see any borders in front of the boat. nobody can control them. they always want freedom. want something better. i'm not saying we're better people, but people on the coasts have that feeling. how do you see it reflected in the residence of foresight? they hate borders. that rebellious sleep most of them and that's important in egypt for right now. the coastal cities or gateway to the world, or people with different backgrounds and cultures come together. the posterior is the origin of seems to me and music. traditionally, only men play a stringed instrument, the what at the all, how we got club. we need him on how to enter friends. they found that the 1st female seems to me are going to define social norms and finding a little freedom through music. the

why did you join the group to send in the i mean i would have, i like music general have been seconds. i like the group ask a minute, you know, what is the most important thing in my life? it goes to it. so when you say the, when you sing along with an i or it brings enough to enjoy with that it's an important type instrument. it just makes you happy the,

the, the, to many, there must be people who say your girls and hands cards and female voices are getting decent. yes, we hear it a lot to get. what's your reaction? which i think and let me listen. we don't pay attention to people say the next, the last thing we think about the factory and then who make it come true, no matter how hard it is. and then what do your family say provider then use that screen honestly. so let me ask you something. when your daughter said she wanted to sing, what did you say? she likes it. it makes her happy. i don't have to turn it on. i'm always by their

side. i'm like a mother to them all. everywhere with them and even when they travel as in homes, but if one of them didn't wear a head in the car when the okay to move. yes, no problem at all. and what's most important is how she interacts with other people and actually see some chemical sort of gen the headscarf question won't come up to me. and now i'm back to the music. thanks very much from for so he'd i'm returning to alexandria where my journey alone, egypt mediterranean coast to begin a few days ago the whenever i traveled i always read the local newspapers. but according to reporters without borders, press freedom is extremely limited in egypt, the, the,

the, the, you and hcr says there are more than 250000 refugees living in egypt. many of them from sudan in the hall of the sacred heart church. we meet, i'm you know, out of my city the 22 year old started the one us and it should have been 2018. the goal is to empower suited these children through art and drama workshops and help them integrating to attribute society. hi, how are you and all of you there are things we do most of data. i will try to connect them. i'd like to join your workshop. what do i have to do

that so stand up. ok. now a little say a name and a loud voice, and we'll make a movement that says something about ourselves. it doesn't matter, won't use your head, your body jump, done anything, milestone. my name is amanda. and this is the move months that something about me, but i my name is i need and this is my last month and this is my live meant and nothing's yahoo, i'm just on and this is my move. and so what's the main reason you're doing? the most important reason is the bullying experience spicer, denise children and refutation for new gen. it mainly effects to denise children on the street, lauren housing estate because i hate that discriminated against because offense getting kinda different. some diversity in society is meant for protection on

kiddos that we get into the full many to play a few now. okay. hey adam bean po. start make fun of me being told your height is fine with me. the show to towing a hitch. assigned to notes that feet. oh yeah. so it takes a long time to find my size. you probably find us quite easily. well, by being made fun of out of that make some sound obvious. did you see how often reactive it's like i'm saying mean things to you and you have to back in a friendly way around making fun of you just shouldn't do that rather well sense what are the important issues for you right now? the problem in egypt is people thinking in

a right and left black and white. everyone thinks that if someone is different from them, they must be an enemy to be confronted. but in reality, diversity makes a strong the next morning, i mean egypt and it's mediterranean coast with mixed feelings. it's a country with a long and great history, but it's present as marked by enormous social and political difficulties. xfinity mentioned here and i found the people here in egypt incredibly open. this involves the pharmacy perm on. it's been wonderful to experience the country by side these products of but at the same time it was difficult to get to know each of the way i'd hope to talk is i'd be in my office. so we always had minders with us in getting filming permits was very, very complicated. and sometimes i noticed that people were afraid of expressing

their opinions, which makes you realize that the country isn't so free english. so the news, [000:00:00;00]
