Hello and welcome to Business Daily. I'm Hannah Malayne.

Today we head to Egypt to take a look at the economy and how it's being impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Over the past year, Egypt has seen traffic along the Suez Canal more than half.

It's a key trade route for global shipping and an important source of foreign currency for the country.

But it's not the only area of the economy that's been impacted.

Change is significant.

We have to understand this impact on the Suez traffic is coming alongside the other

consequences of the Gaza War, namely the decline in tourism and pressure on the foreign exchange

reserves and the currency. Tourism is an important sector for Egypt, contributing to around a quarter of the country's GDP last year.

And as the country receives less foreign currency from the tourism sector and from the Suez Canal,

local businesses are feeling the impact.

It's a roller coaster without seeing an end. That's the thing.

We'll head to Cairo to see how companies that rely on tourism are coping.

And as trade moves away from Egypt, where does it go instead?

We'll look at other countries that might be benefiting.

That's all coming up on Business Daily from the BBC World Service.

I'm here in Sturielgona.

In the site, they are bags, different shape, different colour.

They made from recycling plastic bags and there are shirts.
