Egypt in the News on 6 October 2020

It’s another quiet morning for Egypt in the foreign press. Al Monitor takes note of the Grand Egyptian Museum’s receipt of some 54k artifacts for display so far ahead of its inauguration next year. Over in Sinai, the outlet looks at how Bedouins from Saint Catherine are going back to basics after their livelihoods were severely disrupted by the covid-19 tourism slowdown, says Al Monitor. Meanwhile, AFP writes that families in the Egyptian town of Dahmasha are mourning the likely deaths of their sons who were trying to migrate to Europe on a boat that was reported to have sunk.
