Business in Egypt by Jimmy Dunn
We get a lot of questions
from people either traveling to Egypt on business, or
wishing to establish a business in Egypt. We have a
surprising amount of experience in this regard, and here, we
provide a few tips and suggestions on how to accomplish your
business goals in Egypt.
The Ancient Egyptian
Bride by Ilene Springer
For all that religion played in ancient
Egyptian life, there was one place it had no role at all:
the Egyptian marriage. There wasn't even a civil
ceremony. Rather, marriage simply
took place when two young people decided to move in
together (usually the bride would move in with her
husband) and start a common household. But that
doesn't mean that marriage was not taken seriously.
From the paintings we have found, letters that were left
from grieved widowers to their deceased mates, and from
statues from all periods of ancient Egyptian history, we
see that marriage and a close family played an integral
role in ancient Egypt.
