Walt Disney is reportedly in talks with Egypt to open its first Disney World in the Middle East.
According to The Jerusalem Post, Egypt's investment minister, Ashraf Salman, was quoted as saying by Egypt's state news agency MENA that discussions were going on with Disney International to build in Egypt its first Disney Park in the Middle East, similar to Disney France.
He said that having a Disney show in Egypt at the moment sends a message to the world and to foreign investors that Egypt is safe and stable.
Egypt's tourism industry has suffered huge losses following the sudden collapse of former president Hosni Mubarak in early 2011.
