Disney is considering building a theme park in Egypt, its first in the
Middle East, state-run news agency MENA reported on Tuesday.


"There are discussions going on between Disney International to build in
Egypt its first Disney Park in the Middle East, similar to Disney France,"
Ashraf Salman, Egypt's investment minister, said on Tuesday.



Salman's declarations were made during the launching of a live Disney show
on Tuesday, which features a cast of Disney characters in a magic-themed
performance at Cairo International Convention Centre until 22 November.



"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," Salman said.



The Walt Disney Company was not available to confirm the news of the theme
park in Egypt.
