Architect Sahar Abdel-Mohsen points to a place like Agamai, a popular beach town west of Alexandria where his family owns a chalet. He says the electricity supply to Agami is allocated according to what the town used to be – a place of villas and chalets – and not what it is today: a resort overrun with large, multi-story buildings "constructed by greedy contractors". Generator fever Shops, cafes and restaurants in Alexandria have relied on power generators to avoid huge losses during the busy summer months. The growing demand for generators has spawned a black market, said Karim El-Din Ramadan, a merchant from Alexandria.

Alexandria resident Abdel-Hakim Ahmed said that elevator usage has also became an issue, with many people developing "elevator-phobias" – the fear of being locked inside for hours during power cuts. The governor of Alexandria recently blamed hot August weather for increasing the strain on the government's electrical capacity, despite the fact that such weather and humidity occurs on an annual basis. In addition to climate, experts and activists in Alexandria have also assigned blame to Alexandria's unlicensed buildings, estimated to number up to 200, 000.
Abdel-Rabou told Ahram Online that public hospitals and clinics cannot afford to buy heavy-duty power generators whose prices are above LE10, 000 (about $1, 400). "Of course there is nothing compared to a power outage taking place while you are operating on a patient. When this happens, you either wait until the power comes back or have the patient die while you are waiting, " he said, adding that many patients on ventilators and premature infants in incubators are at risk of death during power outages.
The focus of the documentary, however, is not Meir’s history but the lives, troubles, and traditions of those who still live in the small town, most of whom dream of leaving home in search of better opportunities abroad. In its thoughtful account of life in this small Upper Egyptian town, From Meir, to Meir invites its audience to reflect on the erosion of age-old traditions as a result of emigration, questions of belonging and marginalisation, and how remnants of the past continue to shape the present in unexpected ways.
THE BIGGER PICTURE? : The Lion of Judah's return from injury has given Al Ahly a welcome boost with the Cairo giants having endured a disappointing 2021-22 season in which they failed to win the competitions they coveted the most, the Egyptian Premier League and Caf Champions League. The Red Eagles are expected to mount a serious challenge for the two titles this term under coach Koller. The Austrian mentor replaced Ricardo Soares who was dismissed at the end of last season after failing to win a trophy with the ambitious club. Koller seems to be ready to give Tau a chance to re-cement his place in the 10-time African champions' starting line-up and it is up to the Bafana Bafana star to work hard and impress the 1999-2000 Swiss Super League title-winning coach.

The fear that elderly patients could die during a power outage led Alexandria resident Mansour El-Hoseiny to pull his elderly mother out of the hospital. "I fear she may die while I stand helpless as there are no fans or air conditioners working for hours [in the hospital] when there is a heat wave and high humidity in Alexandria, " he said, referring to the two-hour power cuts that happen six times a day in the coastal city. A photo for the surgery during the power outage at Ismailia General hospital that went viral in Egypt by Dr. Nader Mohsen Outages and illegal construction With millions flocking to the popular seaside town over the summer months, Alexandria's poor infrastructure has been strained by the additional burden of nation-wide power cuts that affect both electricity and water since many buildings use electrical-powered water reservoirs.

Aside from the black market, the word "generators" has become the most-searched-for term on the internet in Egypt, according to Google trends in Arabic. Yet the prices and availability of power generators – and diesel fuel – means that buying a generator isn't easy. In Qena, 450 km south of Cairo, only restaurants, cafes and some workshops can afford diesel-powered generators. Most citizens suffer from power outages that last up to 12 hours in rural villages outside the city, according to software developer and internet marketer Mahmoud Ahmed. "I was on the verge of losing my job as an internet marketer this month because of the constant outages that often occurred six times a day in Qena, " Ahmed said.
But that didn't stop Egypt's Electricity Minister Ahmed Shaker from issuing a statement expressing his wish to solve the problem – while still admitting that it will take four years to reach a solution dependent on a new power station and renewable solar energy – both of which carry high investment costs. While some attribute Egypt's electricity problem to an outdated system and a lack of fuel, many talk show hosts and newspapers have blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for a series of attacks on electricity pylons – despite the power cuts having occurred frequently during the tenure of Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi in 2012. Beyond the political and economic debates – assigning blame, addressing causes and trying to find solutions – Egyptians are finding new ways to survive in the darkness brought on by the power cuts.
