    Ahram Online - Rediscovering Sheikh Youssef Al-Manyalawy (1847-1911) http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContentPrint/32/0/24518/Folk/0/Redis... Amira Noshokaty, Wednesday 19 Oct 2011 Al-Manyalawy: Icon of Egyptian musical renaissance, master of the spiritual art of Inshad chants This week Egypt marks the centennial of Sheikh Youssef Al-Manyalawy’s (1847-1911) death with a three-day event that includes seminars, music workshops, a concert as well as CDs and books to commemorate this musical icon. The celebration is the brainchild of the Foundation for Arab Music Archiving and Research (AMAR) in collaboration with the National Centre for Theatre Music and Folk Arts, as well as the foreign relations bureau of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. A key voice in the Egyptian musical renaissance, (Mohammed Ali’s reign - 1930), Sheikh Youssef Al-Manyalawy’s brilliant voice was among the few that chanted in the Khedival courts, the famous Azbakeya theatres, and called the dawn prayers at Al-Manyal mosques. According to AMAR’s book titled Youssef Al-Manyalawy, Singer of the Arabic Renaissance, His Artworks and Era (Dar Al-Saqi , 2011) by Frederic Lagrange, Mohsen Sowa and Mustapha Saeed, Al-Manyalawy is one of the great Arabic singers of the nineteenth century. He was a friend and competitor of music icon Abdou Al-Hamouly and was often referred to by record companies as the ‘Caruso of the Orient’ (Enrico Caruso (1873-1921) was a grand opera singer at the time). Born in Upper Egypt and raised in Cairo on Manyal El-Roda Island, he studied religion at Al-Azhar, and learnt the foundations of Inshad (religious chants) first hand from the masters of the spiritual art, such as Sheikh Khalil Moharam.

  • 5.3 FUTURE ROAD SYSTEM PLANNING 5.3.1 Issues
    CREATS Phase I Final Report Vol. III: Transport Master Plan Chapter 5: URBAN ROAD SYSTEM 5.3 FUTURE ROAD SYSTEM PLANNING 5.3.1 Issues (1) Regional Highway Network The Completion and Extension of the Ring Road Network At the end of July 2002, the Ring Road is basically complete except for the closing of the ring in southwest Giza. It has been a major struggle for the MHUUC how to close the Ring Road since its early days of construction. The alignment of the Ring Road in the southwest link shows that it has been critically difficult to close the link at the Haram area. The MHUUC was planning to extend the Ring Road from Interchange IC22 (see Figure 5.3.1) to the 6th of October Road, however, it was finally cancelled due to the international pressure for protecting the cultural heritage preservation area. The Ministry is now planning to extend the road from IC01 to the 6th of October Road by the plan shown in Figure 5.3.1. It also has a branch link to westward to bypass the traffic from the Ring Road (IC01) to Alexandria Desert Road. Source: JICA Study Team based on the information from GOPP Figure 5.3.1 The Ring Road Extension Plans One of the major functions of the Ring Road, to facilitate the connection to the 6th of October City with the existing urban area, can be achieved with this extension.

  • Appendix 3.2 Description of Survey Tasks
    APPENDIX 3.2 DESCRIPTION OF SURVEY TASKS APPENDIX 3.2 DESCRIPTION OF SURVEY TASKS 1. Preparatory Work The candidate survey locations were visited several times to: • Select a suitable location for each survey station. • Determine the required manpower of surveyors and supervisors • Sketch the site and its surrounding features. The following precautions were considered when selecting the survey locations: • The survey site has to be on a straight part of the road to provide sufficient sight distance for the surveyor to see the coming vehicles and to secure the safety of the survey team. • The survey site should be on a level road section to avoid the increase in vehicle speed in the down-grade direction which may increase the hazards possibility against the survey team. • The survey site has to be on an illuminated section as possible to provide adequate vision to the survey team during dark periods of the survey works and maintain safety aspects to the survey team. • The survey site has to be easily accessible by optimizing the transport process of the survey team to/from each site. • A detailed sketch for each survey station site should be prepared by the site supervisors. (1) Locations of Traffic Count Survey A total of 17 traffic count stations were, originally, selected to carry out the manual classified count (MCC) for two days during 18 hours starting from 6:00 A.M. till 12:00 A.M. These count stations can be classified into two major categories. The first category (10 bridges) is represented by a screenline along the Nile River.

He was mainly responsible for the building of All Saints’ Cathedral on the banks of the Nile. Bishop Gwynne ordained the first four Egyptian pastors of the Church, including Girgis Bishai, and Adeeb Shammas. The Cathedral on the Nile became an important centre for many of the British forces during the second world war, attracted by the inspiring sermons of Bishop Gwynne who retired in 1946. The diocese of Egypt separated from Sudan and Bishop Gwynne was succeeded in Egypt by Bishop Geoffrey Allen (1947-52), then Bishop Francis Johnston (1952-58) who was followed by Bishop Kenneth Cragg (1970-74). Other leaders included Archdeacons Adeeb Shammas and Ishaq Musaad, and the latter was appointed Bishop in 1974. The Cathedral had to make way for a new bridge over the Nile in 1978. A new design by Dr Awad Kamil Fahmi in the form of a lotus flower was built in Zamalek, adjacent to the Marriott Hotel.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 For Sarah and our parents 3 Abstract Though officially ruled by the Ottoman Empire, Egypt was under British occupation between 1882 and 1922. Most studies about the British in Egypt during this time focus on the political and administrative activities of British officials based on government documents or their memoirs and biographies. This thesis focuses on various aspects of the British community in Cairo based on sources that have been previously overlooked such as census records, certain private papers, and business, newspaper, military and missionary archives. At the outset, this discussion introduces demographic data on the British community to establish its size, residential location and context among other foreign communities and the wider Egyptian society. Then it deliberates on the occasional ambiguous boundaries that identified members of the community from non-members as well as the symbols and institutions that united the community.

  • Giza Channel of the Nile in Mediaeval Period. a Contribution to Historical Geography of Greater Cairo Region
    MISCELLANEA GEOGRAPHICA WARSZAWA 1992 Vol. 5 Wladyslaw Kubiak GIZA CHANNEL OF THE NILE IN MEDIAEVAL PERIOD. A CONTRIBUTION TO HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF GREATER CAIRO REGION The Nile in contemporary urban area of Greater Cairo flows for about 35 kilometres from the environs of Helwan to Shubra al-Khima. Geographically, this territory belongs to two different natural regions: Upper Egypt in the south, i.e. the relatively wide, although distinct valley between high escarpments of the Western and Eastern Deserts plateaux, and Lower Egypt, i.e. gradually widening upper Delta in the north. This situation probably partly accounts for changes of the river's course — a phenomenon well known to students of the history of Cairo urban complex. Accounts of this movements are to be found in the majority of works dealing with Cairo and its parts and published in the course of the last century (Clerget 1934; Kubiak 1987; Creswell 1960, 1972, 1984). Also plans have been published to illustrate these changes (Casanova 1919; Abu Lughod 1972; Kubiak 1987). They were mainly based on observations and his- torical investigation presented in the famous topographical Opus of al-Maqrizi (1853), the great Egyptian scholar of the 15th century. Unfortunately, neither al- Maqrizi's ideas nor modern reconstruction were fully discussed and critically in- terpreted by a qualified historical geographer. Neither it is a purpose of this paper: the material is too rich and complex to attempt its interpretation in a short article. Therefore only the Giza branch of the Nile and its west bank at the height of present-day Old Cairo i.e.
