9.  Egypt had a leader, a dictator, Mubarak. He was popular for many years but as people grew poorer. More rumours of his wife’s huge spending sprees in USA and his $10,000 suits angered the people. They revolted in 2011, the Arab Spring, calling for “bread, freedom, and social life/happiness. The Muslim Brotherhood along with the Army are now in charge.

10.  Food is fabulous ! Rice and bbq style meats would be common. Falafel is a grain type food. In this restaurant I ate stuffed pigeon. It is delicious. Pasta soup is common. Breakfast is feta cheese, hard boiled egg and cucumber.

11.  Muslim is the majority. There are Jews, Christians and Nubians ( natives)  It was Ramadon when I was there so often things were closed, no one eats from sunrise to sunset.  Sport  Children play soccer but there is not a great dela of sport that is known. I did see many swimming in the Nile.
