Northern Sinai

comprehensive economic development is the solution to resolving Sinai's problems including providing security, eliminating smuggling and controlling terrorism

Al Roqei also encouraged the development of the handicraft industry as a way for Sinai Bedouin women to contribute to the family income

Hopefully the last in this long string of incarnations, the new Al-Firdan bridge was budgeted upwards of LE300 million and is only one link in the elaborate railroad projects planned to connect the Nile Delta cities with Sinai, and perhaps even Europe. Based on figures given by Minister of Transportation Ibrahim El-Demeiri, the whole project will cost an estimated LE1.6 billion.

The wind power in Al-Arish and Rafah is not enough for economic applications, since the mean wind speed values at both sites are low as shown in figure (1). Therefore, we must investigate the possibility of using solar energy rather than wind energy at these sites

Wind power in Al-Arish and Rafah is relatively low. So that, the use of wind turbines may be limited for water pumping only. (3)       The solar energy applications are promising in Al-Arish and Rafah rather than the wind energy utilization due to the solar radiation richness in these sit

The wind results from the fact that the earth's equatorial regions receive more solar radiation than the polar region. This causes large-scale convection current in the atmosphere

1 million acres of arid desert in central Sinai into farmland, at a rate of 200,000 acres per year. The plan includes settling some 1 million Egyptians in the new agricultural regions.

that 3,500 acres will be distributed to recent university graduates and small farmers, who will each be given 2 greenhouses for agricultural use.

a new underground water reservoir was discovered in the northern part of the Sinai’s western desert, which will supply 320 million cubic meters (84.5 billion gallons) of water yearly, enough to irrigate 70,000 acres during the project’s initial stage.

The reasons for one becoming a Kamikaze pilot stem from the Japanese heritage. From the time that they were young, Japanese children were taught (some call it brainwashed) to accept the fact that their lives belonged to the Emperor

Transport also contributes to economic development through job creation and its derived economic activities. Accordingly, a large number of direct (freighters, managers, shippers) and indirect (insurance, finance, packaging, handling, travel agencies, transit operators) employment are associated with transport. Producers and consumers take economic decisions on products, markets, costs, location, prices which are themselves based on transport services, their availability, costs and capacity.
