The Great Pyramid at Giza
Egypt

Peter Day asks if Egypt is ready to turn itself into a modernised economy.

Egypt, with the largest population in the Middle East, is trying to turn itself in to a modern economy.

And just as this country lies at a crossroads of history and geography, pulled by Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, so there are big tensions between the modernising zeal of government and business, and entertainment and the growth of militant Muslim ideals.

About the programme

We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.

In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
