Egypt had launched 2 satellites, which gave Egypt a pioneer position
among Arab countries in the Middle East. Many hotels are supplied
with satellite dishes so a guest should feel so close to his homeland
and can follow up recent developments in the world. Egyptian TV has
9 local microwave channels. One of them is the English-spoken NileTV
channel. Programs are broadcasted in French as well and very recently
Hebrew. The channel itself is not so much interesting but it is sometimes
good enough to keep you up with the up-to-date world affairs. |
