First of all, Disclaimer:

None of the ideas presented here are grounded in facts or extensive research. These are just personal opinions and should not be perceived as objectively true.


Today, we reached Sharm El Sheikh. It was great, though a bit underwhelming compared to places like UAE. Still, I enjoyed the stay. The interesting thing about Egypt is that in the initial days, it appears almost similar to Pakistan, if not worse. However, after spending some time here and exploring various aspects of the city, you realize its unique charm and advantages.

A notable realization struck me – Pakistan could easily take inspiration from Egypt. Dreaming of Pakistan to be like Dubai and Thailand might be too far-fetched, but emulating Egypt requires only basic efforts. Pakistan possesses abundant natural assets, providing ample opportunities to boost tourism.

Unfortunately, it seems our focus is locked on political games. Take, for instance, Cairo Tower. Why can't we transform our Minar-e-Pakistan into something similar? It feels achievable, but for some reason, we aren't motivated or aware enough.

I should delve deeper into this idea when I have the energy. Both physically and mentally drained, I've been observing and contemplating numerous aspects during my time here. For instance, Sharm El Sheikh's landscape differs – fewer houses compared to Cairo, possibly due to artificial development driven by tourism.

This led me to reflect on the diverse beliefs within the Muslim community here. Egypt appears more liberal, with people practicing Islam in their unique ways. It's a stark contrast to Pakistan, where a variety of liberties seem constrained.

One undeniable observation is that every country in the world, except Pakistan, seems to enjoy a remarkable level of freedom – freedom of expression, action, and religion. People in other nations are frank and open, unburdened by constant judgment, a luxury seemingly foreign to Pakistan.

These insights prompt me to consider the potential for Pakistan's growth. We have the resources; what's lacking is the will and vision. Maybe it's time to reflect, strategize, and channel our efforts towards a brighter future, drawing inspiration from unexpected places like Egypt.
