For millennia, Egyptians were the rulers of the Nile, but these times are now gone forever. On the river, around two thousand miles from Cairo, a gigantic dam is being built, known as the Dam of the Great Rebirth of Ethiopia. For Addis Ababa it is an object of national pride and a chance for civilization development. For Egypt it is an existential threat. The project can no longer be stopped and despite the disagreement, the dam reservoirs begin to fill. Is Africa on the brink of a war of water?

Egypt is a special place that once you have visited, will stay in your heart forever and its people will be your friends for life!

The monument marking the resting place of the deceased is modest and simple, as lavish displays are discouraged in Islam. Graves are sometimes marked only with a simple wreath, if at all. However, it is becoming more common for family members to have small grave monuments.
