Egyptians cast votes in elections held amid Israel-Hamas war with Sisi almost sure to win

In an election set for December, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has declared that he will run for a third term in power. El-Sisi is favored to win the election, which takes place at a time when Egypt is dealing with an economic crisis, historic levels of inflation, a steep decline in the value of its local currency, and allegations from the political opposition that its candidates are being intimidated and harassed.

As part of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's modernisation drive, authorities are digging their way through a 7 km-long UNESCO World Heritage site for a highway project. The site is often referred to as the 'City Of Dead'. The roads reportedly tear through a network of mausoleums dating back as far as the seventh century to link congested central Cairo with Egypt's 'New Administrative Capital'.
