  • The National takes a look at the soaring cost of living and how some Egyptians are finding it hard to make ends meet.
  • The New York Times takes a tour of South Sinai’s overlooked hiking trails managed by Bedouin.
  • 50 doctors, 14 hours, three operating theaters: A woman received a life-saving lung transplant from her two brothers in the country’s first operation of its kind to use live donors. (The National)
  • Antiquities alarm: MP Doha Assy tells the National that unchecked construction and waste dumping are damaging the country’s heritage sites.
  • China is the new capital’s biggest funder but this year the country has become more circumspect about lending to Egypt amid concerns about the country’s debt sustainability. (Al Monitor)
