The Nicosia summit is the fifth such gathering since November 2014. Talks will be econ-heavy and likely dominated by policy on natural gas along the exclusive economic zone, an extension of the Zohr gas field. El Sisi and Anastasiades will inaugurate the Egyptian Cypriot Business Forum and El Sisi is set to address the Cypriot parliament, according to a statement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Egy.Pres.Spokesman\/photos\/a.153526355166753.1073741828.153405978512124\/300895903763130\/?type=3&amp;theater\">from Ittihadiya<\/a>. Egypt and Cyprus are expected to sign three MoUs on joint security cooperation, and in healthcare and IT cooperation, said Egypt\u2019s ambassador to Cyprus May Taha, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahram.org.eg\/News\/202466\/25\/623646\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%88%D9%84%D9%89\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%89-%D9%86%D9%8A%D9%82%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A7---%D9%82%D9%85%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9--%D9%82%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%B5%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%88.aspx\">according to Al Ahram<\/a>.<\/p><p><a class=\"content-anchor\" id=\"tldr-story-02\"><\/a><strong>The question on everybody\u2019s mind is whether former (depending on who you ask \u2014 and where) Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Al Hariri will be making a stop in Cairo this week<\/strong> before returning to Lebanon on Wednesday to address the confusion caused by his sudden resignation from Riyadh two weeks ago. A leader in Al Hariri\u2019s Future Movement had <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/commoditiesNews\/idAFL8N1NP0HD\">told Reuters on Sunday<\/a> that Al Hariri would visit Egypt on Monday. Al Hariri\u2019s office followed up by announcing that he will be here on Tuesday to meet with El Sisi. Ittihadiya spokesperson Bassam Rady called in to Al Hayat Al Youm last night to deny that Al Hariri was coming on Monday (though he did not refute the Tuesday\u2019s visit), saying that Al Hariri is welcome in Egypt. Al Hariri\u2019s statement comes a day after President El Sisi spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron (who is currently hosting Al Hariri in Paris) on the Lebanon crisis, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.rfi.fr\/middle-east\/20171119-macron-calls-trump-other-leaders-after-meeting-lebanons-hariri\">a statement from the \u00c9lys\u00e9e palace<\/a>. The chatter on Al Hariri stopping by for coffee came as Cairo was host yesterday to an Arab League meeting at which Saudi and its regional allies pushed to further isolate Iran and Hezbollah, <a href=\"https:\/\/af.reuters.com\/article\/africaTech\/idAFL8N1NP05J\">Reuters reports<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Political overhang on your capital raise?

Or developed markets could come down, better aligning with their growth.

Moneim Said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1220148\">writes for Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>. The government is aware that relying exclusively on the Nile \u2014 with or without the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam \u2014 is not a sustainable plan, which is why it is taking measures to diversify its sources, by commissioning more desalination and water treatment plants. But it needs the combination of both to cover its needs, especially in the long-run, and since water is already fast becoming a scarce resource due to booming population growth levels. If need be, the case must be presented to the UN security council.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/on-deadline\/\">On Deadline<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"637591\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"637591\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/11\/20\/worlds-largest-pyramid-in-mexico-not-egypt\/\">\r\n                            World\u2019s largest pyramid in Mexico not Egypt                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/11\/20\/worlds-largest-pyramid-in-mexico-not-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The 2,300 year old structure was constructed out of clay and resembles a hill because the mud has allowed flora to grow all over it. Missed by history for thousands of years, it was rediscovered in 1910. While not quite as tall as our Great Pyramid of Giza it is roughly double in volume due to its enormous base. The identity of the builders remains a mystery but experts believe it to have been an important place of worship after finding more than 400 human remains.
