Culture and Entertainment in Hurghada

Hurghada's blooming stars

Luckily for us Hurghadians, we have Barbara, Thomas and Alla plus countless other parents and teachers who help mold our children and give them an opportunity to express themselves with dance, singing and general entertainment.

Many thanks from all of us locals for your contributions to the community. I personally hope to see my daughter on stage one day as well :)

Tel Aviv Nightlife

Known as "the city that never stops", Tel-Aviv is a late-night metropolis, who wakes up at midnight and runs wild all night long. Jammed roads with heavy traffic and people waiting in line for a bar table or a dance club admission, are common sights at the city's nightlife arenas even around 4am.

Tel-Aviv's nightlife focuses mostly on pubs, cafes and nightclubs, whose House/Trance/Techno music is in one level with that on most European cities' clubs. The city gets amazingly active every night of the week, but on weekends (Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays) it's even more bustling.

Major centers where locals and visitors love to play all night, are Allenby St and its surroundings (south Tel-Aviv), the old port of Tel-Aviv, and the four lined streets parallel to the beach - Hayarkon, Ben-

Dizengoff Street

Yehuda, Dizengoff and Ibn Gvirol. Another entertainment option is the city's several modern cinemas, most of which adjacent to a shopping center or area, presenting the latest world's hits in the original dialog with Hebrew subtitles.

Popular venues and bars:
* Alenby St, including The Goodbar, Joey's Bar, and Bloom Bar.
* Tel Aviv seaport - Check out Whisky a gogo, Erlich, Shalvta, Galina and more.
* Dizengoff St.
* King George St.
* Lilienblum St - Check out Nanuchka, Abracses and more.
* Bograshov St
* Rothild blvd. (western part)

Must Party at:

* Clara Mega Bar – Located on the southern part of the Tel Aviv beach close to the David Intercontinental hotel is a very trendy open air mega bar. All wooden deck floor with a very long bar, multiple seating areas by the sea view or all around this huge bar and and a great atmosphere's makes this place a must visit during a stay in the city

Cafés:

Tel Aviv boasts many cafés, which can be found everywhere in the city, offering aromatic Italian Espressos and Capuccinos (called "Hafuh", meaning upside-down, in hebrew). Espresso-bar, Cafeneto, Café-café and arcaffé are some of the local chain-cafés. Aroma's the biggest among them - most of Aroma's brnaches open 24/7 and offer a free Internet wireless access.

Italcementi's Italgen to develop a wind farm on the Red Sea coast

The Italcementi Group, through its subsidiary Italgen, has signed a memorandum of understanding in Cairo with the Ministry for Energy and Electricity aimed at the possibility to create a major wind farm located in the district of Gabal El Zeit, on the Red Sea coast.

The memorandum is part of the energy policy plan issued by the Egyptian government to support foreign investments for the development of renewable energies, first of all wind and solar energy. Italcementi, within the framework of the positive relationships of collaboration between Italy and Egypt, has been closely and actively working with the Ministry for Electricity and Energy for some time to identify a feasibility plan for international investments in the wind sector, in accordance with the Egyptian Government’s Development Plan of ensuring at least 20% of electrical power will be generated by renewable sources by 2020.
