Mistakes getting corrected earlier in a free market. And of course there are things to improve even in those countries, but people sure get more out of it than in dictatorships.

Thank you Shirvan! I always look forward to your videos. 👍😊 @ 16:38-9 "Leveling the playing field with Iran" I've got a sneaky suspicion that some of that leveling is going to occur in Yemen!

I always ask the same question..Where is the fresh water coming from [desalination plants?] and where does the sewerage go? Also where is the electricity coming from?

Why do you say that ordinary Egyptians will not benefit from the project? Someone needs to do the construction and contracting on the development Someone will work all those jobs that will be created there (schools, hospitals, malls, hotels, restaurants etc.) The project will add foreign currency in the country All the tourists that wii go there will add foreign currency in Egypt This is almost "infrastructre stimulus" and it also has a multiplier effect in the economy

If you have tourist wanting a Dubai like experience, why would they not just go to Dubai? What is going to draw them to a Dubai copy cat city in Egypt away from all the things tourist generally want to see in Egypt? Additionally, If you do think this type of city is viable and if there are political and economic roadblocks for this type of development to take place without the assistance of the UAE, then would it not make more sense to reform Egypt’s economic and political policies and structure to allow for more economic growth and for such development to be able to occur organically?

@@lastword8783 I think Dubai occupies a pretty niche economy that to me seems pretty comparable to a city like Las Vegas - both of them develop cheap desert land into hotels, shopping malls and entertainment venues in combination with loosened restrictions on various behaviors normally not permitted in their respective cultures. It probably wouldn’t make sense if say Phoenix tried to be a copy cat city of Las Vegas, they would probably either not be able to over come Las Vegas’s first mover advantage to attract those types of tourist, or they would split that tourist market and be worse off than if they had tried to find their own economic niche to occupy. Phoenix today does have a healthy tourist market, but the people going to 5 star self improvement meditation resorts in the Mojave desert aren’t the same type of tourist that are wanting to go to Las Vegas to gamble and go to night clubs.

I got a bridge they can buy too, they will have to transport it themselves though.

Let them develop❤ the city. Egypt will take it back from them when a great leader comes to power.

For a nation with so much potential, Egypts government keeps scoring own goals.

Egypt is basically the original country. Hope they can work everything out.

Often, your videos are just a bunch of stock videos with little real content. But this one was indeed quite informative and with a nice support of graphics and maps

I find it baffling that you're trying to compare this development in terms of "resource-less potential" with Singapore. Singapore is at the neck of one of the worlds most important shipping route. Of course that will turn it into an important place that doesn't need resources to be valuable. But in Egypt, so far from major trade routes, without oil or gas fields in the immediate vicinity, I fail to see how that can compare.

15:30 Cairo already has better seats at the Turkish banquet, Egypt is already home to eastern Mediterranean gas forum which helped forming alliance with Greece and Cyprus for future natural gas and electricity connections, forcing Turkey to withdraw its forces from Libya and renegotiate with Egypt and Greece in the eastern Mediterranean

Even if the UAE is making a move at expanding its sphere of influence in the Near East, this is a strong move for Egypt. The country needs money and has pawned off virtually unused territory. Even if there are challenges to Egyptian sovereignty, which isn’t in the UAE’s immediate interest, they can deal with that later when their negotiating position is stronger. As Machiavelli says, never be a fencesitter.
