It is this investigation in which Taher will participate. During the first week of September, a report on the basic health of a minimum of 100 reefs around the world will be made available. Taher's Shams Safaga Diving Centre, the Sinai Divers Centre in Sharm El-Sheikh, and the Jasmin Diving Centre in Hurghada. Further activities involving the Ras Mohamed National Park are being planned. The programme is also aiming to grab media attention by publishing a series of leaflets and issuing special awards for coral reef projects.
Any city has many stories to tell.
The memories are ensconced in the names of streets and buildings. But women's names are conspicuously absent from Cairo's landscape, making the infrequent exceptions worthy of interest. Murad's affections, however, failed to shield his beloved from the cruelty of his Venetian mother, the Velide Sultan, Nur Banu, who made Safeyya pay for her influence on the Sultan. Of a resilient disposition, however, Safeyya survived the old woman's intrigues and after the death of Nur Banu in 1583, a death in which she may have had a discreet hand, she became Velide Sultan in her own right, when her favourite son Mohamed III came to power, having arranged for the execution of all his brothers. Safeyya retained her authority until his death in 1603.
