We just returned from vacation in El Gouna.
There are fantastic all inclusive deals right now in Gouna and I would recommend the Panorama Bungalows Resort as it is fantastic.
Book through the Hotel desk itself to save commission fees on agents on
065 3580052
They had about 30% occupancy with English and Russian and German tourists.
The prices for Gouna and Hurghada are a lot cheaper than Sokhna right now so if you want the Gouna Experience get it now before prices return to normal.

Kidzania comes to EGYPT!!!!
KidZania - a land of the kids, by the kids, for the kids
The first international edutainment park for children, designed as a real city to provide the ultimate role playing opportunity for kids aged of 4-14 years old.
KidZania Cairo offers kids a variety of fun and interesting
role-playing activities in a realistic city setting. Job activities such
as doctor, firefighter, chef, or flight attendant are associated with
real-world brands, allowing kids to create and learn with realistic
results.
Kids in Grownup Roles
There are over 100 activities waiting for kids at KidZania Cairo. Each
establishment offers activities with a range of difficulty levels to
meet the abilities and interests of each kid. Pilots fly airplanes,
Radio Station announcers read the news, police officers keep the city
safe, chefs make tasty food. KidZania Cairo is a fun world of grownup
role-play!
A Real Kid-Sized City!
KidZania is a city just for kids, complete with a hospital, fire
station, beauty salon, bank, radio station and pizza shop. At two-thirds
of their actual size, all facilities are designed to be just the right
size for kids. After learning about a job they have chosen and being
given a specific task, kids change into a real uniform and start
working!
Work, Earn, Play!
Kids are paid for their work in KidZos, the official currency of
KidZania. Recognized at every KidZania location throughout the world,
KidZos are used to buy products and services. The more you work, the
more you earn, the more you can play!
KidZania Economy
KidZania has its own currency: bank notes called “kidZos” and coins
called “Zents”. KidZania citizens and tourists can use this money along
with their debit card, known as e-kidZos, to pay for products and
services in different locations inside the great nation of KidZania.
Similarly, the citizens are paid for their work in kidZos as part of the
supply and demand of the economy
Every time you get to KidZania will receive a check for 50 kidZos. Once
inside, you must visit the bank and change your check for cash to
purchase goods and products. For example, contract services as renting a
car, get your hair done in the salon, heal a wound in the hospital or
take classes or buy rappelling favorite items in the department store in
KidZania. If you spend all kidZos or you want more, you can not buy
with real money, you should seek employment and work for example as a
firefighter, dentist, model, stylist or builder, among many trades and
professions that exist within kidZos. There are places where you decide
whether to spend or win kidZos.
For example, in the fire station can only earn money, while at the
pizza shop you can only spend it. However, there are many places where
you can do both, as in the hospital, where you can be a doctor and earn
money or be patient and pay for you to attend. The prices of goods and
products or services are different in each facility or activity. These
rates may vary depending on the popularity of each in relation to
others.
In KidZania we have a banking system itself where you can save and earn
interest, get a debit card and do business in the bank branch or in the
ATMs in the city.
You can open your personal savings account at any time of day during
your stay in the city to deposit and save the money you've earned your
work. When you open your savings account will receive a debit card that
must be customized with your name and signature. With it you can check
your balance or make withdrawals at the bank branch or any of the ATMs.
And if you visit us for the second time and already have your debit card
you deposited the 50 kidZos to your account, which you can get cash in
the bank branch or ATM.

Car fines and fees by SMS
Drivers in Egypt can now find out what fines are pending on a car via text message on their mobile phones.
Egypt's Investment and Development Ministry is taking advantage of the massive diffusion of cell phones, which has cut across almost all segments of Egyptian society.
A person only has to send an SMS to 92333 with a car's license plate number. The driver will receive a message with the exact amount owed.
According to a ministry statement, this service will facilitate the car-trading processes since a buyer can get an honest account of what fines and fees are associated with the car they are considering purchasing.
Furthermore, this service will accelerate the car license renewals because users will be able to get the financial clearance certificate that proves they have a zero balance on traffic violations fees.

Amazing invention
4 African girls have created a generator that produces Electricity for 6 hours using a single liter of urine as fuel:
Four African girls have created a generator that produces electricity for six hours using a single liter of urine as fuel.
The generator was unveiled at last week's Maker Faire
in Lagos, Nigeria, by the four teens Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele
Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin, all age 14, and Bello Eniola, 15.
- Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
- The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
- The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
- This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator. Link

PAYPAL coming to Egypt
BEIRUT: PayPal will finally launch in Lebanon and Egypt in 2013, the general manager of the online payment gateway, Elias Ghanem, announced Thursday at the ArabNet conference.
Paypal is fully enabled – meaning buyers and sellers with locally issued bank accounts can do complete transactions – in the GCC and Jordan. In Yemen, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, customers can also open accounts to pay purveyors.
Though the prevalence of cash-on-delivery in the Middle East delayed the rollout of PayPal in the MENA region, the trend now appears to be shifting.
In an interview with ArabNet founder and CEO, Omar Christidis, Ghanem said that e-commerce in the MENA region was a $9 billion industry in 2012 and is projected to reach $15 billion by 2015.
