Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah
El-Sisi took a tour on Monday of the Nubian village of Gharb Suhail, which is
part of the presidential initiative Haya Karima (Decent Life) to develop rural
communities.
El-Sisi launched the Haya Karima project in July to improve standards of living, infrastructure, and services in villages nationwide.
The initiative targets 58 percent of Egypt’s 102-million population, who live in 4,658 villages across the country.
During his tour, El-Sisi held an open dialogue with some residents of the village in Upper Egypt's Aswan, sharing a Nubian lunch with them, according to an official statement.
