		Fenwick (1989) notes that in the newer Rahad irrigation scheme, east of the Gezira plan in the Sudan, because of the use of drugs and snail control, schistosomiasis remained very low, despite very poor sanitary conditions.

	Cairo/Zamalek - Wikitravel
		Zamalek is a relatively affluent and pseudo-European residential district of the Egyptian capital Cairo that occupies the northern half of the island of Gezira, the large Nile river island located in the heart of the Cairo metropolis (the name is a redundancy, as 'gezira' means 'island' in Arabic).
		(The district of Gezira occupies the southern half the island).
		While not noted for obvious tourist attractions, Zamalek is a good place to stay and a good place to eat while in Cairo, as the residential nature of the area and presence of many expatriate residents allow tourists to navigate relatively easily.

	Arab television-stations compete for Ramadan audiences
		Gezira's relatively free political debates and phone-in talk-shows, in which members of the audience can participate, have captured the imagination of many Arabs and brought prestige to the small oil-rich emirate, to the chagrin of the control-freaks that have reduced their countries' media to fawning lapdogs.
		Some of the employees of both Gezira and the Saudi-owned stations are former BBC broadcasters, but the crucial factor in the success of the channel or network as an independent operator does not depend on the CVs of its staff so much as on its editorial policy.
		Kuwait and others, apprehensive of the consequences of Gezira's surprisingly independent editorial policy (the Qatari minister of information is its board chairman), are invoking the Arab League's information charter, which forbids attacks on Arab leaders by Arab media, ostensibly to promote Arab unity but actually to protect them from media criticism.

		It is worthwhile to note that Gezira was playing with an all-Egyptian roster and no foreign recruits whereas Saudi team had two American recruits (God Shammgod and JR Henderson).
