The meeting proposed a number of steps. The proposed fund should closely operate in coordination with the Egyptian Industries Federation, the General Egyptian Federation for Chambers of Commerce and trade representatives at the Egyptian embassies, she explained. As fund activities are bound to be limited during the initiation phase, focus should be given, and support provided to a specific group of commodities to help them stand competition. Once able to stand on their own, other commodities should be chosen for the same purpose. Abdul Maboud pointed out that commodity group selection should be based on quality, on the labor-intensive character of the industry, and marketing potential of the product.
Examples are ready-made clothes, fresh packed vegetables, fruit, flowers and plants.
A study has revealed that, some time in the past, the village enjoyed an outstanding position as capital of the Dakhla Oasis. Saad Abdul Karim senior Islamic antiquities inspector in Sohag mentions that the village streets are no different from like streets in other Islamic cities in terms of narrowness and undulations. Given its genuine architectural style, the village needs a comprehensive overhaul to uncover the typical components of Islamic architecture. Local authorities were also invited to revive the village from accumulated dust and debris while the Supreme Council for Antiquities was urged to determine the exact boundaries of the village to avoid foul play. The old village, however is at risk of disappearance under crawling modern structures and under non-stop land scooping of the plateau on which the old buildings stand.
