It’s cultural resurrection vs cultural destruction in the foreign press this morning: Reuters becomes the latest outlet to look at the livelihoods and historic graves in the City of Dead that are under threat as the Madbouly government goes ahead with the construction of a new bridge as part of its infrastructure drive in the capital. On the flipside, Bloomberg is out with a piece looking at the ways in which Egyptians are tapping into their history to restore some of Cairo’s cultural identity, while ARTnews reports on a pair of limestone sphinxes unearthed at the ancient Egyptian temple of Amenhotep III in western Luxor by a team of German-Egyptian researchers. Meanwhile, DW has a piece on the wave of solidarity among Egyptian women amid an “ongoing crackdown” on rights.

In business news: Khaleej Times says that online fashion platform 6thStreet will open in Egypt some time this year.
