This morning in the foreign press: We’ve hit a domestic news lull uncharacteristic of late, as authorities continue the vote count from this week’s election and regional leaders work out their next steps as Israel angrily dismissed Tuesday’s overwhelming UN General Assembly vote for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Getting attention this morning:

  • Koshary, pyramids and a camel ride:Conde Nast Traveler profiles Cairo’s pharaonic sites, best restaurants, and cultural hotspots through the eyes of Art D'Égypte founder Nadine Abdel Ghaffar.
  • The struggles of women footballers: An archaic view and gendered view on football is getting in the way of the success of the women’s game in Egypt, striking a sharp contrast with the men’s team’s stellar track record in African football. (Guardian)
