Egypt is a NON-arab country IN the middle east so this makes it a MIDDLE EASTERN country NOT arab one. but mistakenly people consider it as one, the term "Arab" in its name was just added in the late 1950s just to show some appreciation from the Egyptian people and goverment at that time to the Arab since they named Egypt a boss of them at the time and this "Arab" term in the name of it should have been taken out long time ago but it seems they forgot it! Egyptians were NEVER Arab, only some of the late president Gamal Abd AL Nasser consider it like that God knows why!, Egyptians dont have Arab blood runs in them, Egyptisn are mostly either have Turkish, French, European, West Persian or African blood and roots and descent but NEVER Arab.
anyways anyways I wanna talk about the country itself for a bit, so I will avoid the long definition because someone already did post them up..so in short, Egypt is one of the greatest countries in the whole world, kind, generous and noble people, people there are so helpful..I have lived in many countries but no country was as comfortable and restful and beautiful to me as Egypt!..I advise all of you to drop by someday! you wont regret it!
I'm Egyptian but I'm not Arab
