Revisiting Mohamed Ali Pasha's Origins
Rana Atef A few days ago, an Egyptian patriot and the grandson of Mohamed Ali Pasha and Ibrahim Pasha, Mehmet Mohammed Sarhan, shared a powerful thread, revisiting the origins of the man who laid the very foundations of modern Egypt. Kavala, a small coastal town, cradled the birth of the Ottoman general who would later become Egypt's most ambitious ruler. Mohamed Ali was born in Kavala in 1769 (1183 AH). But he always emphasized that his roots traced back to Konya. This wasn't a passing claim; it was recorded by his trusted aide Mohamed Aref Pasha in 'Ibar al-Bashar', quoting both the Pasha himself and his son Ibrahim. Dr. Mohamed Shafiq Ghorbal, one of Egypt's most respected historians, clarified the truth plainly in his book 'Mohamed Ali the Great', published by the Egyptian Historical Society in 1944: 'In the city of Kavala — a small maritime town — Mohamed Ali was born. The commonly accepted date is 1183 AH / 1769 AD. He was a Muslim Ottoman Turk — with no lineage connecting him to the Albanians, the Slavs of Macedonia, or the Greeks.' Despite serving in an Ottoman-European force where many officers were Albanian, Mohamed Ali wasn't one of them. He climbed the military ranks, but he wasn't of them, nor shaped by them. As Ghorbal explained, Albanians had their own tribal leaders and chiefs. Mohamed Ali had no political loyalty in those circles. He was Ottoman in blood, and language. The book was published under the leadership of Dr. Mohamed Taher Pasha, a man of noble heritage, grandson of Grand Vizier Ahmed Arifi Pasha, cousin of King Farouk, and the first Egyptian to earn a doctorate in political sociology from the Sorbonne. Kavala, known in Turkish by the same name, is part of the Drama region, which today lies within the borders of modern Greece. When the population exchange between Greece and Turkey took place in the early 20th century, Muslim families from Kavala moved east. And if Mohamed Ali Pasha had been alive during that time, given his deep devotion to Islam and loyalty to his Ottoman identity, it's likely he would have returned to Konya, the ancestral home of his forebears. The Turkishness of Mohamed Ali is not just a historical footnote. It's how Europe saw him too. In 1834, Count Charles Joseph Edmond Sain de Boislecomte described him in his official report: 'He is keen to preserve the Ottoman character of his government, and he speaks only Turkish.' This report was later published by the Royal Geographical Society of Egypt in 1927, and cited in the remarkable book 'The Building of the Egyptian State: Mohamed Ali.' Mohamed Ali was a reformer, a military genius, a controversial figure, and the architect of Egypt's modern state. In addition, he was an Ottoman Turk. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Egypt Reopens Historic Sinai Valleys to Tourists After 10 Years
Ahmed Emam In the heart of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, a silence stretching more than a decade is about to be broken. Rugged valleys, hidden between towering granite peaks and swept by winds carrying whispers of history, are opening once more to the world. Egypt has announced the long-awaited reopening of several historic valleys around the sacred city of Saint Catherine in South Sinai, signaling a powerful revival for one of the country's most unique and spiritual destinations. Khaled Mubarak, Governor of South Sinai, said that both Egyptian and international tourists can once again visit these valleys for activities like safaris, hiking, and camping. The decision, he explained, is part of Egypt's sweeping 'Great Transfiguration' project, an ambitious plan to transform Saint Catherine into an international beacon of eco-tourism, religious pilgrimage, and desert adventure. The valleys now welcoming visitors — among them Wadi Sheikh Awad, Wadi Talaha, Wadi Zaghra, Wadi Al-Talaa, the Mountains of Al-Arba'een, and Al-Saba'eya — are more than mere landscapes. They are ancient corridors that have witnessed monks, Bedouins, traders, and pilgrims for centuries. Their sandstone walls glow pink at dawn and burnished gold at sunset, creating a timeless backdrop for the stories of prophets and civilizations. Yet for over ten years, these valleys remained closed to visitors, a measure tied partly to security concerns and preservation efforts. The decision to reopen them represents not only a tourism revival but also a restoration of cultural and spiritual connections. Saint Catherine itself is nestled beneath some of Egypt's highest peaks, including Mount Sinai — revered in Islamic tradition as the place where God spoke to Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). Nearby stands Mount Saint Catherine, the tallest peak in Egypt, soaring over 2,600 meters above sea level. The city's ancient monastery, rugged wilderness, and serene silence have long attracted spiritual seekers and adventurers from around the globe. The Egyptian government hopes that the 'Great Transfiguration' project — with an estimated investment of around 4 billion Egyptian pounds (approximately \$83 million) — will bring millions of tourists annually to this sacred corner of the country. Plans include new infrastructure, visitor services, and preservation efforts, all designed to protect the area's fragile ecosystem while opening it to sustainable tourism. Officials envision Saint Catherine as Egypt's capital of eco-tourism and a global hub for religious and cultural travel. As the valleys reopen, there is a sense of both anticipation and reverence. For those who venture into Sinai's vast silence, the desert's secrets — hidden for a decade — are waiting to be rediscovered under the same stars that once guided prophets, nomads, and explorers through this land of awe and mystery. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
