Edward Forster’s book, ‘Alexandria: A History and Guide (1922)’, is imbued with a deep love for the city in which the British writer lived during the First World War. This love Forster translated into two works: the aforementioned, and a collection of sketches of the city, Pharos and Pharillon.  Though millions of tourists visiting Egypt each year are often seen traipsing around the major sites, clutching a guidebook or scrolling through online guides, few are familiar with Forster’s Alexandrian guide. Yet these guidebooks, commonly published by large travel guidebook companies such as Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, or Le Routard, stand in stark contrast to the approach taken by Forster.

The economic misdemeanor court in Alexandria has sentenced physician Omnia Sweidan today on 4 July to six months in prison with hard labor, suspended for three years, after convicting her of publishing false news related to Alexandria University’s Shatby Hospital. The court also imposed a fine of EGP 20,000 (USD 405) and ordered Sweidan to pay legal expenses. She was acquitted of a second charge of using an electronic account to commit the alleged offense, while the related civil case was referred to the competent civil court.
