Egyptian Culture Has Its Roots In Traditions And
Antiquity

• Stories of Pharos and their grandeur have been
  doing the rounds in Egypt ever since. The list of
  pharaohs is a long one. There is even a female
  pharaoh among them. Merneith reigned over Egypt
  in the thirteenth century BC. Among other notable
  pharaohs were Narmer and Kufu. Some of them built
  pyramids for themselves. They were full of riches
  and treasures the pharaoh was supposed to carry
  with himself to the other world. But most
  pyramids were plundered and looted. The
  Government of Egypt has done its best to preserve
  the remnants of Egypt Culture in the form they
  were found in.
• The Sphinx is another symbol of Egypt Culture. It
  is in the shape of a lion and a man. While the
  head is that of a human being, the body is that
  of a lion. It is supposed to guard the pyramid of
  Giza and all the surrounding pyramids. The Sphinx
  is a wonder carved out of a single block of
  limestone. It is believed to have its origins in
  the period between 2558 and 2532 BC. There are
  many myths and legends about the sphinx. The
  local guide would be sure to tell you all the
  interesting ones.

Language

• The language of a community is an important
  aspect of its culture. You might find the Arabic
  language used in Cairo or the rest of Egypt a bit
  different from English, but several Egyptians are
  well-versed in English too. The Arabic language
  has its origin in the Semitic group of languages
  of the Indo-European language-family. You might
  find interacting with locals who arent
  well-versed in English a bit difficult, but most
  professional guides in Egypt are quite fluent in
  English.
• The religion followed by the dominant majority in
  Egypt is Islam. There are quite a few Christians
  in Egypt too. There are about 80 per cent Muslims
  in Egypt, while the rest of the 20 per cent is
  made of Coptic Christians. The importance of
  Islamic Law in Egyptian life is highlighted by
  the fact that Egyptian constitution mandates
  Islamic principles for the formation of laws for
  the land. Freedom of religion is offered only to
  the followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

• Food is as essential part of the culture of a
  civilization. The Egyptians usually munch on
  legumes and vegetables. The area surrounding the
  Nile River provides a rich assortment of
  vegetables to the inhabitants. A gourmet on a
  vacation in Egypt is sure to find a lot to munch
  on. You are sure to find a lot of variety of
  snacks and juices while walking down a street.
