Personifying Egypt's regional position and its civilizational role as a cultural meeting point, being a bridge for human communication and an example of tolerance and creation over eras, shouldering its media role and message of enlightenment, and pursuing its previous efforts, State Information Service (SIS) is privileged to offer the dear reader "Egypt's Year Book, 2007".

The Book, in facts and in the latest documented and precise figures, shows an integrated picture of Egypt. This is on a journey through time in which the past is presented, the present is highlighted, and the future is foreseen.

The Book also sheds light on Egypt's national project of development, modernization, and reform, and on its historic march for peace-making as a strategic option for a better future in the Middle East and the whole world.

This book is deemed a major gateway to know Egypt and understand its stances and issues. It includes 23 chapters under the titles:

The Land and The People, History and Civilization, The Political System, Foreign Policy, Economic Development and Investment, Agriculture and Irrigation, Renewable Energy, Industry, Transport, Communication and Information Technology, Housing, Reconstruction and New Urban Communities, Social Solidarity, Local and Rural Development, Egyptian Women, Environment and Sustainable Development, Culture and Arts, Information, Tourism, Youth and Sport, International Cooperation, Education and Scientific Research, Health Care and Population and Security and Justice.

Believing in the significance of safety and stability and as an introduction to secure sustenance, realize development, and render modernization programmes and development plans of Egypt in politics, economics, culture, and environment and other fields a success, this book, for the first time, includes a chapter on the Egyptian police in confirmation with its vital role in keeping the homeland's security, maintaining its sanctuaries, and protecting its march for a better life.

In addition, the Book also includes several illustrations, graphs, statistics, and maps which enrich the written text. We hope this issue is successfully presented in a new distinguished form.
