ANZAC Day Dawn Ceremony
The Australian Embassy will be organising a commemorative dawn service on 25 April to mark ANZAC day, in conjunction with the Embassy of New Zealand.
ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corps. ANZAC day began as a tribute to the Australians, New Zealanders and other Allied Forces that died on 25 April in 1915 in Gallipoli Beach (Turkey). Now it is a commemoration for all those who have lost their lives in battle.
The Anzac Day Commemorative Service will be held at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, Abu Seifein Street, Old Cairo.
The service will commence at 5.00am. All welcome.
For further information please contact the Embassy on +202 2575 0444 x 102

Human Rights Small Grants Scheme (HRSGS)
On 10 March the Australian Ambassador present a cheque for A$70,000 to the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women (ADEW) to support a program of activities in the field of women’s legal rights.
This is the first time that an Egyptian NGO has been awarded funds under the HRSGS and the Embassy is very proud to be able to hand across this significant contribution to a very worthwhile cause.
