Historic Egyptian Hajj Road: A legacy of faith and passage
CAIRO: The Egyptian Hajj Road stands as a pivotal historical route, recognized by historians and travelers as one of the seven most important Hajj and trade arteries connecting the Islamic world to the Arabian Peninsula, according to the Saudi Press Agency. Used by pilgrims since the dawn of Islam, this route transcends mere religious significance, embodying a rich cultural, civilizational, and archaeological legacy. Its importance has earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. As noted in Saudi Arabia's submission to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention of 2015, the route linking Egypt to Makkah and Madinah "benefited pilgrims coming from Egypt, Sudan, Central Africa, Morocco, Andalusia and Sicily, as they meet in Egypt, then travel through Sinai to Aqaba then march across two trails." The road starts from the town of Haqel on the Gulf of Aqaba and ends in Makkah. "Like all the other Islamic pilgrimage roads it received great interest and attention of Muslim rulers in different Islamic eras and periods, as they established many structures on the path of this road like pools, canals and wells, they also paved obstacles and built barricades, bridges, castles, forts and mosques, and on the road near the camps are numerous Islamic inscriptions and commemorative writings, engraved by pilgrims as they passed through the toad," the document said. It also noted that rulers and wealthy patrons built caravanserais, supplied water and provided protection along these roads to Makkah and Madinah to ease the pilgrims' journey. "Individual Muslims, in the name of charity, helped others to make the journey," it added. Historians have divided the ancient Egyptian Hajj Road into four distinct chronological periods: • the first, stretching from the introduction of Islam in Egypt until the mid-5th century AH (about 1150 AD in the Gregorian calendar), featured both overland and coastal routes to the Arabian Peninsula; • the second, from 443 AH (1042 AD) to 666 AH (1268 AD), saw the overland route in North Sinai cease, with pilgrims opting for sea travel from Egypt to Jeddah; • during the third period, from 667 AH 1269 AD) to 1301 AH (1884 AD), pilgrims reverted to using the coastal overland route; • finally, the fourth period, from 1301 AH to contemporary times, marked the discontinuation of the overland route, replaced first by sea travel from Suez, and subsequently by air travel to Jeddah. The route's importance for pilgrims from Africa and the Maghreb is particularly notable. Caravans from Moroccan cities like Marrakech, Fez, and Salé, sometimes including pilgrims from Senegal, would gather and embark either by land along the Mediterranean or by sea. These caravans would then converge with Algerian, Tunisian, and Libyan pilgrims, passing through cities like Mahdia, Sfax, Sousse, Tripoli, Barqa, and Tobruk. They would then cross Egyptian lands, often along the coast, to reach Alexandria and Rashid. From there, pilgrims would take Nile boats to Cairo, joining the Egyptian Hajj caravan at "Birkat al-Hajj" (modern-day al-Baraka). The combined caravans would then continue by land to Qulzum (Suez). From Qulzum, pilgrims either continued the land route through Sinai and along the Red Sea to Jeddah, or sailed across the Red Sea to Jeddah, then proceeded by land to Madinah and Makkah.

Meta Becomes the Latest Big Tech Company Turning to Nuclear Power for AI Needs
Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook's parent company. The investment with Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant. The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed. Constellation's Clinton Clean Energy Center was actually slated to close in 2017 after years of financial losses but was saved by legislation in Illinois establishing a zero-emission credit program to support the plant into 2027. The agreement deal takes effect in June of 2027, when the state's taxpayer funded zero-emission credit program expires. With the arrival of Meta, Clinton's clean energy output will expand by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs and bring in $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, according to the companies. 'Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions,' said Urvi Parekh, Meta's head of global energy. Surging investments in small nuclear reactors comes at a time when large tech companies are facing two major demands: a need to increase their energy supply for AI and data centers, among other needs, while also trying to meet their long-term goals to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions. Those emissions are generated, in large part, from the burning of fossil fuels like gasoline, oil and coal. Nuclear energy, while producing waste, does not emit carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Constellation, the owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, said in September that it planned to restart the reactor so tech giant Microsoft could secure power to supply its data centers. Three Mile Island, located on the Susquehanna River just outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of the nation's worst commercial nuclear power accident in 1979. Also last fall, Amazon said it was investing in small nuclear reactors, two days after a similar announcement by Google. Additionally, Google announced last month that it was investing in three advanced nuclear energy projects with Elementl Power. US states have been positioning themselves to meet the tech industry's power needs as policymakers consider expanding subsidies and gutting regulatory obstacles. Last year, 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy, and lawmakers this year have introduced over 200 bills supportive of nuclear energy, according to the trade association Nuclear Energy Institute. Advanced reactor designs from competing firms are filling up the federal government's regulatory pipeline as the industry touts them as a reliable, climate-friendly way to meet electricity demands from tech giants desperate to power their fast-growing artificial intelligence platforms. Amazon, Google and Microsoft also have been investing in solar and wind technologies, which make electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Shares of Constellation Energy Corp., based in Baltimore, were flat Tuesday.
