Tourism.

Egypt tourism industry is battling to recover from what the tourism minister has described as its "worst year in modern history", after millions of tourists were put off visiting Egyptian resorts and heritage sites in 2013 by reports of civil unrest.
The industry made £3.6bn in 2013, compared with £7.7bn in its record year of 2010, before the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak and led to three years of political instability. Only 9.5 million tourists stayed in Egypt's hotels in 2013, against 14.7 million in 2010, according to the tourism minister, Hisham Zaazou.

The ministry will soon be hiring a new staff that includes younger people to revive the sector. The government also plans to work with the foreign ministry to launch offices abroad to promote tourism in Egypt.
