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. Viewing Alexandria through its rich past, Forster saw the city as one of memory, layers, and lost civilisations.

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. The case arose after social media posts and subsequent media coverage alleged ethical and professional violations at Shatby Hospital, a teaching hospital affiliated with Alexandria University. According to the Public Prosecution, the investigation was launched after authorities reviewed the circulated claims and received a complaint from the Director of Legal Affairs at Alexandria University Hospitals, who stated that the hospital had received no complaints from patients regarding the alleged incidents. Prosecutors said a technical examination identified Sweidan as the owner of the social media account that published the posts. During the investigation, Sweidan acknowledged publishing the post under scrutiny.
