Egypt's Tourism Minister Inspects Pilgrims' Camps in Saudi Arabia
Israa Farhan, Ali Abu Dashish In a proactive move to support Egyptian pilgrims, Egypt's Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, conducted a field visit today to the camps of Egyptian tourism pilgrims in Arafat, Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the visit was to ensure that all pilgrims are receiving the full range of services and enjoying the highest levels of comfort during their Hajj journey. During the visit, Minister Fathy inspected facilities and met with pilgrims to personally verify that services aligned with expectations set by the ministry and travel agencies. He emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards of care, particularly in light of extreme temperatures across the holy sites this year. Following the on-site inspection, the minister held a remote video meeting via Google Meet with members of the official tourism Hajj delegation. This digital monitoring approach is part of the Ministry's ongoing efforts to integrate modern technology into the management of the Hajj season. It allows for real-time, live supervision by all committee members, ensuring swift response to issues and continuous service delivery. The remote system facilitates direct oversight of the daily operations conducted by the 13 field committees formed as part of the official tourism mission. These teams are deployed across camps housing more than 40,672 Egyptian pilgrims to check on their well-being and ensure full compliance by tourism companies with agreed Hajj programs. Minister Fathy praised the efforts of the mission teams, particularly their dedication to staying active throughout the day in challenging weather conditions. He urged all teams to continue intensive on-site presence and remain alert to any emergencies or complaints. The goal, he stressed, is to offer a safe, seamless, and exemplary Hajj experience that reflects the strength and reliability of Egypt's tourism Hajj system. Samia Sami, a senior official at the ministry, confirmed that a central operations room has also been established in both Arafat and Mina to supervise the delivery of services by tourism agencies and to monitor the performance of rituals in an organized and timely manner. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Trump reveals why Egypt was excluded from travel ban
U.S. President Donald Trump revealed onThursday, the reason he did not impose a travel ban on citizens of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the United States. During a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House in Washington, he stated: 'The countries included in the decision don't have things under control, but with Egypt, we are working closely.' Egypt has long been a key partner for the United States in the Middle East. Relations between Cairo and Washington date back to 1922, following Egypt's independence from the United Kingdom, and have continued ever since. According to the U.S. Embassy in Egypt, approximately 450 Egyptians travel to the United States annually on professional and academic exchange programs. The U.S. Embassy stated: 'Egypt is a valuable American partner in counterterrorism, combating human trafficking, and regional security operations, enhancing both American and Egyptian security.' Cairo has played a pivotal role in mediation efforts during Israel's war on Gaza, which Egypt feared could extend across its borders if not contained. Egypt maintains communication channels with both Hamas and Israel, and has sought to broker a ceasefire agreement that would also facilitate the return of hostages. The nations on Trump's travel ban list The White House announced that Trump has issued an executive order banning the entry of citizens from a number of countries into the United States of America, citing national security concerns. A statement from the White House read: 'The executive order imposes full restrictions on the entry of citizens from 12 countries proven to have deficiencies in their screening and vetting procedures, which poses a significant risk to the United States.' It clarified that 'the countries covered by this full ban are Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.' 7 high-risk nations The statement added that 'the executive order also imposes partial restrictions on the entry of citizens from 7 other countries deemed high-risk, namely: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.' The White House clarified that 'the decision includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents of the United States, current visa holders, certain special visa categories, and individuals whose entry is deemed necessary to serve U.S. national interests.' Combating terrorism The statement affirmed that these restrictions aim to 'enhance international cooperation in security, enforce U.S. immigration laws, and achieve foreign policy objectives, including combating terrorism.' The statement quoted Trump as saying: 'We will reinstate what is known as the travel ban, which some have called the 'Trump travel ban,' and keep radical Islamist terrorists out of our country, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court.'

Where to Find the Best Ice Cream in Egypt
An old adage suggests that we all scream for ice cream - we're here to show you which scoops are worth losing your voice over. Ice cream is the jack of all desserts—not loyal to any one vibe, but exceptional at serving them all. It thrives in Michelin-starred tasting menus and gas station freezers. In croissants, on waffles, under hot espresso shots, or next to a side of fries. It speaks every language (gelato, sorbet, soft serve, rolled, mochi), pairs with any mood (euphoric, heartbroken, hungover), and knows when to shut up and melt. There are few things as versatile, as reliable, or as deliciously unserious. So when we're screaming for ice cream - where exactly should we go? Once upon a time in Egypt a man would ride a bike to sell premium ice cream all around town. Now, we drove around ourselves to find the best ice cream for you, from boutique gelato spots to neighbourhood legends… Amorino Branches all over Egypt Ice cream in the shape of a rose. Honestly, do we even need to say more? The flavours are lush and layered, and yes, it does taste as good as it photographs. Sultana Branches all over Egypt If you know, you know — and if you don't, we can't help you. The rebrand gave it a facelift, but the core? Still elite, still creamy, still the OG. A classic that refuses to age. Dolato Branches all over Egypt For those who want ice cream in polite, melt-proof portions. Their bite-sized pops on sticks are perfect for commitment issues or Cairo's sun-induced chaos. A neat little hit of indulgence without the sticky fingers. Stavolta Branches all over Egypt There's a reason Stavolta is everyone's 'this is actually good' ice cream recommendation. Their flavours go from pistachio and mascarpone to mango and milk basbousa, and somehow they nail all of them. Texturally rich, wildly generous, and occasionally too intense (just like us). Dara's Branches all over Egypt At this point, Dara's is a household name, and everyone knows it. Whether it's a scoop drowning in molten chocolate or a cone that defies gravity, they always deliver drama. No intro needed, just bring your inner child and an extra napkin. Tabi 3 Sesostris St., Heliopolis Ever tried fried ice cream? Tabi said you deserve that chaos. It's hot on the outside, cold on the inside, and perfectly gooey Swirkies River Walk Mall, New Cairo | 231 St., Maadi Chimney cake or ice cream? Why not both? This is your solution to indecision — warm, pillowy dough hugging cold creamy scoops. A texture fever dream, and we're here for it. FortyOne Ice Cream Branches all over Egypt You come here for the sundae and stay for the sugar spiral into madness. Their layers are stacked, sauced, and unapologetically extra. Just say you need a little joy and they'll scoop it into a cup. Mandarine Koueidar Branches all over Egypt You thought you came for the basbousa, but the berry yogurt ice cream is the real mic drop. Unexpectedly elite, dangerously underrated. It's giving 'hidden gem your aunt was right about.' Taiyaki Branches all over Egypt Craving black ice cream in a fish-shaped cone? Of course you are. Taiyaki is theatrical, photogenic, and gives you soft serve with a side of 'what even is this but I love it.' Variegato Gelato Palm Hills | New Giza, Sheikh Zayed | Square One Mall, New Cairo This is how gelato should feel. Cold, creamy, quietly confident. The kind of place that doesn't shout, because it doesn't need to. KB Cake Studio Arkan | New Giza, Sheikh Zayed | Garden 8, New Giza You might go for the cakes, but the ice cream will catch you off guard. Velvety, rich, and a little too easy to finish. Honestly, it deserves its own fanbase. Moko Chocolates Branches all over Egypt Made by actual chocolatiers, so you already know their chocolate ice cream is going to hit differently. Dark, deep, and a bit intense. Like a bad habit you don't want to quit. Rigoletto Branches all over Egypt Your childhood ice cream spot is still standing strong, and still tastes like after-school freedom. No frills, no drama, just scoop-and-go joy. The loyalty is generational. Fresco Gelateria 29 El-Ismailia St., Alexandria Alexandrians don't play about their gelato, and this place proves it. No loud branding, just serious flavour and old-school charm. Go once and you'll understand the cult following.
