Egypt, 90 percent of whose population is Muslim, lives on religious and family values. While European feminists are eager to work, Egyptian women have the right and opportunity to stay at home after getting married, to engage in family coziness and raising children, even with higher education.
And those who do not like it, work in the field of education, medicine, do their own business or even conquer the sky.
Women in an Egyptian Airline
If the flight attendants are mainly girls, then among the pilots on regular flights in Russia, and in Europe there are not so many women working.
For the first time in the company's history, the Egyptian international airline EgyptAir launched two flights with a crew of only women: to Abu Dhabi and Kuwait.
The merits of Captain Heba Darwish, who runs the A-737 Airbus, were noted by Egyptian President Sisi. She studied aviation in the USA and worked at EgyptAir, where she gradually gained experience and made a career.
Captain Hasni Teymur was hired in 1995 and began working as a co-pilot, and in 2009 became a captain.
She quit her studies at a pharmaceutical institute after she found an ad for admission to the aviation academy without any gender restrictions. She consulted with her father, who approved her decision to become a pilot.
EgyptAir currently employs 10 female pilots.
