Just somewhere to document articles and ideas found worthy of note by a third culture cairene.
My interests seem to lie in Egypt; the region; energy; the environment; development; economics and finance; human rights; active/political Islam; and, obviously, running through all of these, politics.

For a lot more on nilometers, check this page out. It is also where my avatar image is from.

Nice Avatar, Cairene
