ARCHITECTURE

As the Middle East developed, energy use driven by air conditioners has, along with carbon emissions, grown hugely. In 1990, World Bank figures indicate, cooling internal spaces in the Middle East accounted for about 25 terawatt hours of electricity. By 2016, the figure had risen 400 percent, to 125 TWH.

Meanwhile, the Middle East and North Africa’s carbon dioxide emissions almost tripled, from about 864,000 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide in 1990 to about 2,556,000 kilotonnes in 2019l…read more

In Egypt’s Eastern Desert, where Gouna is located, there is a great variety of indigenous trees and shrubs which have adapted to this region’s hot and arid conditions.

Desert gardens have become fashionable in many hot and arid climates around the world. Native plants use less water and insecticides, feed the local wildlife such as birds, are authentic in their setting, show sensitivity to the environment and some are used as medicinal plants...read more

La botanica russa Irina Springuel sta creando il più grande giardino di piante del deserto egiziano, all’interno del primo “eco and cultural resort” di Wadi Sabarah.

I giardini del deserto sono un mondo affascinante e stanno crescendo di popolarità. Spesso però si conoscono le varietà di piante del deserto americane o australiane, ma non quelle del Nord Africa. Irina Springuel, botanica russa, laureata presso l’Università Statale di Leningrado, ha passato una vita intera in Egitto, lavorando presso l’Università di Assuan come professoressa di Botanica...leggere di più

IL MONDO DEGLI ALTRI

Incontro con Muhammad Bassyouny che da anni lavora, in Egitto, a un progetto che mira a recuperare la specificità della cultura beduina: «Per noi è molto importante far riscoprire ai ragazzi la cultura araba delle tribù»
L’Egitto è uno dei paesi più antichi del mondo e la sua cultura è millenaria. Alcuni educatori egiziani negli ultimi anni stanno incominciando a porsi la domanda di come integrare le antiche conoscenze nei progetti educativi dei bambini e adolescenti egiziani. Ne parliamo con Muhammad Bassyouny. Bassyouny ha conseguito una laurea in Fisica e Matematica presso l’Università Americana del Cairo…leggere di più

As soon as you meet Dr. Irina Springuel, you are aware of her passion for the desert environment. When asked how she became interested in desert plants she quips “I simply like the desert”. Unfailingly humble about her incredible career, she has had a significant impact on the desert environment and is now raising awareness of the importance of conserving and planting native desert flora and educating the public with her desert garden. Here at RED SEA PROJECT™, we have a very special relationship with Irina...read more

RED SEA

“I thought I saw dolphins on the reef this morning, but as I got closer I realised it was actually a huge plastic bag.” Hossam Abdelaziz’s words were not the sort you’d expect to come from a dive instructor – especially one whose job it is to extoll the beauty of the Red Sea – but then, this was not just any dive centre.

Stationed 280km – a 3.5-hour drive – from the sky rises and all-inclusive chains of Hurghada, the small Egyptian family-owned resort of Marsa Nakari in Marsa Alam has, since its inception, put the environment at the heart of its business plan...read more
