President Sheikh Mohamed has congratulated Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on his election victory.

In a post to social media on Monday, Sheikh Mohamed praised Mr El Sisi on his recent re-election as Egypt's President and wished him further success for him and his country.

He also expressed his hope for continued co-operation to strengthen relations between the UAE and Egypt, as well as their strategic partnership.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, sent a similar message of congratulations, wishing Mr El Sisi and the people of Egypt continued prosperity and stability.

Mr El Sisi will serve a third, six-year term as Egypt's President until 2030 after a landslide victory on Monday.

The former army general who was first elected in 2014, won 89.6 per cent of the vote, or close to 40 million votes.

The election featured three little-known candidates who won less than five million votes between them, according to figures announced by Egypt's National Election Commission.

There are about 67 million registered voters in Egypt, a country of 105 million people.

Voting in Egypt took place between December 10 to 12, with Egyptians from abroad voting from December 1 to 3, at 137 Egyptian embassies and consulates in 121 countries.

The election results come as Egypt struggles with an economic crisis and the spillover from the war in Gaza, which borders Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

Other ways to buy used products in the UAE

UAE insurance firm Al Wathba National Insurance Company (AWNIC) last year launched an e-commerce website with a facility enabling users to buy car wrecks.

Bidders and potential buyers register on the online salvage car auction portal to view vehicles, review condition reports, or arrange physical surveys, and then start bidding for motors they plan to restore or harvest for parts.

Physical salvage car auctions are a common method for insurers around the world to move on heavily damaged vehicles, but AWNIC is one of the few UAE insurers to offer such services online.

For cars and less sizeable items such as bicycles and furniture, Dubizzle is arguably the best-known marketplace for pre-loved.

Founded in 2005, in recent years it has been joined by a plethora of Facebook community pages for shifting used goods, including Abu Dhabi Marketplace, Flea Market UAE and Arabian Ranches Souq Market while sites such as The Luxury Closet and Riot deal largely in second-hand fashion.

At the high-end of the pre-used spectrum, resellers such as Timepiece360.ae, WatchBox Middle East and Watches Market Dubai deal in authenticated second-hand luxury timepieces from brands such as Rolex, Hublot and Tag Heuer, with a warranty.
