After the rioting yesterday at the university's I doubt that the rankings will be so high now. The pro Morsi demonstrators seen intent on destroying the very institutions that can give them a better future. But then again, that was Morsi's intentions, to destroy the future of this country so I guess you could say they are following their fallen leaders program.

Do these Universities have specialty areas? What are the faculties?

Yes, they have special areas where you can get gassed or not.
