Telegraph gives Egypt a tub-tub and a whack over the head

The Telegraph tells its readers to look into buying property in Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera for “guaranteed yet affordable sunshine a short flight from the UK.” El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh and Soma Bay, stand out, the piece notes, telling readers to “picture a fairytale Arabian Nights landscape dotted with huge swathes of tropical plants, blue lagoons, PGA golf courses and marinas, plus a huge choice of villas, apartments, hotels, sports facilities, opulent spas, chic cafes, shops and restaurants. Security is highly visible and stringently enforced.”

The same paper also gives us a whack over the head, with reporter Magdy Samaan writing from Cairo that, “a secular blogger is the latest social media activist to be arrested in what human rights groups say is a widespread new crackdown on free expression in Egypt.”
