The author describes the problems of food supply for a rapidly growing population, reviews the effects of water and land shortage, and considers the impact of globalization on Egypt’s attempt to industrialize. The structural difficulties besetting Egypt’s economy – population explosion, a seriously negative balance of payments, massive debt, unemployment, brain drain and corruption – have already been eased by the rise of tourism which is so vulnerable to Islamist terrorism.
