Multi-billion dollar project will not solve Egypt's housing crisis

The Egyptian army's $40 billion deal with the UAE company Arabtec to build 1 million homes for low-income earners is beyond the affordability of Egypt's poor.

An aerial view of Cairo's traffic and houses is pictured through the window of an airplane September 11, 2013. Egypt's population has reached 85 million with the Cairo governorate coming in with the highest number at 8.9 million people, according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS).

Egypt turns to Israel to address shortage of natural gas

Egypt is willing to pay Israel four times the price of natural gas it once sold to Israel in a bid to stave off a worsening energy crisis.

A Bedouin man looks at a gas pipeline that was hit by a RPG in North Sinai March 6, 2012. The Egyptian gas pipeline carrying gas to Israel and Jordan was attacked on Monday night, according to local Bedouin tribesmen. The pipeline has been hit by multiple attacks since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled in 2011 and remains shut since an explosion on February 5, 2011.
