a to be in june and responsibilities. how can you save the cx from the animals? god help you to 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. most of that arabic phrase me, the mother of the world. i love it because that's what lots of people in the arabic speaking world called egypt. beautiful name are many associated egypt with the pyramids. i mean there's another side under his back in the mediterranean. this is,

this isn't 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 these are among the oldest buildings in the world. they live just a few kilometers from the capital, cairo, and the nile, the life blood 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 light 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 prominent 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 modernity. i wonder what the impact those differences have on dating and finding a partner showing most of the found in the muslim dating it way. now 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 then find the 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.

the social consensus is that women should marry young and have lots of children. don't get the idea. and they really didn't, came to me in the, at the found is because we have these experiences. however, the way people turn it into the way my mother's friends puts her into psychological depression. so if you think she would come to me and say you foretold the $24.00, i see it ended up psychological pressure. even though i was done successfully. i have lots of copies that i travel on, but none of that is recognized by gibson families. the marriage has the so indicate terrific go success. my guess is been 2 days ago to the dean and it was the focus on as long as when religion maybe no longer play such a role in marriage today. that is, we have the feeling muslims have concerns about getting to know each other. a 3 day thing is this all these days as a young muslim is want to use something martin. i've ever something technically up

to date, but at the same time they don't want something. the parents might say is home school, inappropriate to wrong wave. oh, well, what about relationships outside marriage? we know in the id with avaya is budgets, minutes and marriage. and of course, we don't tell anyone to use the words that they have to get married within a certain time, but they should understand that to relationship a stop through this out is serious spot 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 part of call for all

manner of specially prepared sea food is the restaurant saffir, situated right on the water. the kitchen is overseen by hedge mohammed jumper space here. are they all from the mediterranean around alexandria for you and mediterranean? we don't have any front of the red sea. what's that? i want someone to say. it's cool. who said everybody is why is that special type? very good fried voice and you can also stuff that you can have it with bosses, but it's best to try to over the menu. appreciate someone told me about something called thing gary and gary would like to make sun gallery. i can't hoping to launch page and sending me off and then awesome. now there's a 10 good and that's i've signed unity and let's take this one doesn't get it. you can mix angry with this too, right body and all those right. of course, and some squids i'm going to keep. i'm in. great. yeah. and you'll show me how to

anything like this. yeah. it's just like a new shift the that's the most. what's that the most of each we failed. oh yeah, i recognize it now. and that's what she, what do you most people order here in the sun, gary fish. and because the source mixture is really special, you mean one of the best sources we have in alexandria? ok. yeah. i need international dictionary. i thought what i walked in in today and we could still do well, we can prepare anything that comes out of the scene when not of when i move on to

the 1950s. greek battalion, french and british migrants lived and worked in alexandria today. the fort city with a population of around 5000000 tests, a major social problems like poverty and the housing shortage in 2019 and egyptians average monthly income was around 235 years engineering apprenticeship or study. i only went to school until 39, then of as 9th grade. why? i didn't finish school. education doesn't feed you learning trade or john pays more . my father died when i was 6. there was no one to look after me as long as you've been working kind of 29. what age did you start? 14. 14. yes. i'm leaving alexandria and heading to the rest of the box. just hundreds,

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, lifeline screening us here in less than a. now here in the process time she was an arabic, it 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. been at the heck in mrs. maitland, i saw 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 and not going to meet her just a few kilometers further down the nile delta is the city of dummy yet? it's a thriving port in the capital of dummy at the province in 2018. doctor minot, i'll watch me shout. you became the 1st comforted christian headed provincial

government of egypt. and she's only the 2nd woman ever to govern. one of the countries $27.00 provinces together the whole country is moving towards the empowerment of women and make them aisle test. and the i'm very interested in women being financially socially and culturally strong. 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 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 fe, state discrimination here as the modesty. so, i mean,

what does this experience mean for you? mostly because you represent egypt, but also a religious minority that any, even if christians in the country don't like to see themselves, it's on either way. at the end of the day, there are far fewer of you than there are muslims yet. and as many uh, i was very pleased, i took it as a sign that egypt has changed. the people don't get advantages because of a background when instead positions or allocation to candidates because of a suitability for the job to fit it now. and then i'll go to the food we now have a constitution that protects the rights of christians, if you would exceed their off for laws that protect the rights of women and christians. and also there is in the other religions, bundled the student lily with haig. let's see, the law states this, but the reality is different than human kind of body to be for example, belong to encourage the restoration of churches. how long is the social mode is different, and jody mode moved and bought a gift for the columbus that we use all seek to get. then had the little see,

there might be a few trouble makers in some villages where your father quarter show like that was that can be the case any time it can anywhere in the there's been, have been, it'd be, but there is, are exactly the exxon preference of the way we can teach people except to and respect for the time, but if it isn't difficult, but couldn't the, the couple of the coma who can you open the back? yeah. unless it, some egyptian say that they're happy in egypt as in a phase of positive change. the here was a lot of healing, but other, say freedoms are being suppressed, come out and political views are being suppressed. i. c, a, c, and there are political prisoners, most likely. and what kind of egypt do you see today on the movies that much the there was something times when search and things on possible modal by the few can now off to the people 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. and at the age of testers, to experience to an economic collapse austin way i'll see. and then is the product

as well. and then also, why can't you have a functioning economy and a change in any most with the one lady who we're talking about security matches here. icons come in, some of the philippines since the so called of europe, spring and 2011. many have been fighting for freedom, democracy and human rights. it's been a hard struggle, especially since of debt. as part of our cc became president from danita, traveling to foresight, 50 kilometers away. the modern industrial port city lives on the suez canal. completed in 1869. the canal conducts the mediterranean with the red sea these days, most vessels that pass 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 foresight, he's on the african side for flawed is the newer city, and it wasn't built until 1926. well for site dates from 1859. the city was built for suez canal workers and now back to the music. thanks very much. from foresight. i'm returning to alexandria where my journey along egypt to mediterranean coast to begin a few days ago the whenever i travel, i always read the local newspapers. but according to reporters without borders, press freedom is extremely limited in egypt

the . the you and hcr says there are more than 250000 refugees living in egypt. many of them from sudan in the hall and the sacred heart church. we meet, i'm either on my city. the 22 year old started the one us initiative in 2018. 2 the goal is to empower through these children through art and drama workshops and help them to integrate into a different society. hi, how are you? and all of you play their things with you. all the data i would say to clack of, i'd like to join your workshop. what do i have to do that?

the problem in egypt is people thinking in a right to left, black and white. everyone else thinks that if someone is different from them, they must be an enemy to be confronted. but in reality, diversity makes us strong. the next morning i leave egypt and it's mediterranean coast with mixed feelings. it's a country with a long and great history. what it's present is marked by enormous social and political difficulties. xfinity mentioned here and i found the people here in egypt incredibly open the form as the curve on . it's been wonderful to experience the country are. so i think about us of what, at the same time, it was difficult to get to know each of the way i talked to. how does i be in my office and we always had minders with us at the,
