Business for Africa, Egypt and the Worldkicks in Sharm El Sheikh on Thursday; a veritable cast of thousands is expected to attend. The event, held under the auspices of the presidency, is part of Egypt’s drive to export to (and re-engage with) Africa.

The third edition of the Cairo Art Fair kicks off on Friday, 8 December at the Arts-Mart Gallery, where over 1,000 artworks from more than 100 well-established and up-and-coming Egyptian artists will be on display. The fair’s third installation will showcase a “pivotal new body of work by some of Egypt’s most popular artists,” including Mohamed El Sharkawy, Gamal Meleka, Lina Mowafy, and Aida Khalil to name a few, the gallery announced (pdf).
