The relations within an average family and its functions have not undergone noticeable transformation in recent years.As in the other rural communities in Egypt the patriarchal family structure has persisted, where the male chief holds a strong leading position, the younger is subservient to the elder and the customary norms of behaviour are different for the male and female.At the head of the family there invariably stands the eldest man.As long as the senior of the family lives, his sons and daughters ...

Desert recultivation in the region of Farafra (Qasr el-Farafra) was undertaken in two stages.In the 1960s, carrying out the Naserist project of the "New Valley", 13 shallow and 18 deep water wells were drilled.More widely they were exploited only from the beginning of the 1980s, when the irrigation of desert land and building of new villages were commenced.At that time, new wells were drilled, too, which brought up their number to the total of 88.At present, 5 villages are in operation from the number ...

Abstract The paper reports the first detailed study of the diversity of euglenoids recorded from the El Farafra Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt. Four of the 20 identified species are new records for the Egyptian algal flora: the colorless Peranema inflexum Skuja, and the three pigmented species Euglena adhaerens Matv., Phacus crassus Zakryś & M. Łukomska and Ph. cristatus Zakryś & M. Łukomska. A brief description and original documentation are given for each reported morphospecies.

For the first time, comprehensive phycological screening on El-Farafra Oasis (Western Desert, Egypt) had been implemented for unveiling and characterization of its cryptic algal diversification, with special interest on springs and drilled wells. Overall during summer 2011 and winter 2012, 82 different algal taxa have been found in all studied habitats as naturally-grown and culture-induced propagations. Of these, different 14 algal strains have been recorded only using water-culturing techniques ...

Studies have been carried out on carbonized plant macro-remains recovered from the Hidden Valley, a Neolithic settlement located on ancient playa shoreline deposits near Farafra Oasis, Egypt. Site contexts have been radiocarbon-dated to 7130–6190 BP. A total of 63 soil samples were collected the total volume of these samples is 81 l collected in two seasons (1996 and 1997), during which a total area of 61 m2 was excavated. Soil samples were processed by dry-screening, Recovered plant macroremains ...

Abstract During January and February 2004, an interdisciplinary group from the Institute of Developing Countries at the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies of Warsaw University spent time at the Farafra Oasis in Egypt, observing changes in resource management and transformations in the society. The aim was to compare the results with those of earlier studies conducted in 1993.

IN TOTAL 47 soil algal morphospecies were cultured and identified from the desert soils of El-Farafra Oasis, The Western Desert (Egypt). The most of them were related to Cyanophyta (34 algal taxa), followed by Chlorophyta and Xanthophyta (5 algal taxa belonging to each). Bacillariophyta represented only by 3 species. Moreover, this work enriched the Egyptian soil algal flora with 5 different algal taxa: Westiellopsis prolifica Janet, Cylindrospermum gregarium (Zakrz.), Cylindrospermum. licheniforme ( ...
