UAE President Sheikh Mohamed and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi have inspected the Regal Heights Hotel, which is part of an investment project in El Alamein City.

King Hamad of Bahrain, King Abdullah II of Jordan, and Mustafa Al Kadhimi, Prime Minister of Iraq, also attended the site with the presidents.

The leaders were briefed about the five-star hotel and watched a fireworks display and parachute performance.

Mr El Sisi hosted a dinner banquet in honour of his guests.

He and Sheikh Mohamed welcomed the Bahraini, Jordanian and Iraqi leaders on their arrival at El Alamein International Airport.

They all discussed the ties binding the five Arab countries and their peoples, which are based on brotherhood, compassion and mutual respect and interests.

Mr El Sisi expressed his appreciation for the close historical ties that the Egyptian leadership and people feel towards the other Arab countries.

President Sheikh Mohamed was accompanied by: Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court; Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed, Deputy Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Council; Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation; Sheikh Zayed bin Mohamed; Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and managing director and group chief executive of Adnoc; Dr Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Adviser to the UAE President; and Humaid Abushibs, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority

'The worst thing you can eat'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

TEACHERS' PAY - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:

- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools

- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say

- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance

- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs

- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills

- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month

- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues
