LEAD IN :

Egypt is a predominately Muslim nation and alcohol is forbidden for practising Muslims.

Non-Muslims and tourists can enjoy a drink of beer or glass of wine and the country’s laws are quite liberal.

The Egyptian wine industry is experiencing something of a revival in recent years.

Wine is not a new product for Egypt, people were drinking wine in ancient Egypt over 5,000 years ago.

STORYLINE :

Tourists pass the great pyramids at Giza dressed in vests and shorts.

The many Muslim country takes a pragmatic approach to tourism and the strict Islamic observances which practising Muslims obey here are of no concern to holidaymakers.

The same goes for alcohol.

Westerns can enjoy a glass of wine or beer with their meal in the comfort of their own hotel.

But for Egypt’s Muslim majority alcohol is forbidden.

However ancient Egyptians cultivating vineyards on the banks of the Nile over five centuries ago.

These faded friezes in the tombs of the pyramids show people crushing grapes and a man holding a bunch of grapes.

Zahi Hawass, is Egypt’s Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, says that the ancient Egyptians invented wine.

Grapes require heavy irrigation in this desert country with sparse rainfall.
