Re: Egyptian people

Re: Egyptian people

I do know that majority of people do say it about egyptians all around the globe and if they say the same about us, then "Zubaan-e-khalq ko ......."

Re: Egyptian people

ok I don't care about the generalizations of their personalities and whatnot. I can figure the individual out on my own. I need to meet an Egyptian person in a week, and I am clueless about their culture and traditions whereas he knows EVERYTHING about pakistani people, the language, food, dress, etc. Can someone please tell me of anything that is unique to their culture or traditions? Thanks :)

Re: Egyptian people

Ok.... this is what i know... Hope i am not stereotyping... (which i am anyway)

  • Egyptians love to brag.

  • Even if they have something small... they will show as if its the biggest in the world... i.e. they are good marketers.

  • Their favorite food, or shall we say common food is Taamia.. its made of kidney beans.... like we would eat cholay and naan.

  • They love sweets... Their mithai is ... Baklava... its nice but toooooo sweet.

  • They make this nice dish ,,, its called kushri... its made of beans again.

  • You would find all sorts of Egyptians just like Pakistanis... - some quite religious and some quite advanced... but majority are like us again.... they are quite open minded.

  • And yes in the Arab world they have the most developed media.

  • They call Jeem (alphabet) as Geem... So Jannah is Gannah...

  • and yeah they do have arranged marriages...

Did i forget something... ...maybe they are quite fat also.

Thats all i could think of...

Re: Egyptian people

Love to have [EMAIL="S@X"]S@X (learn that from Islamic seminar in skydom in Toronto) LOL .. i guess who doesn't?
Love to do Sheesha

Re: Egyptian people

Very "liberal" for an islamic seminar vs. S@X

Re: Egyptian people

And they are not very fond of Pakis.

Re: Egyptian people

They are not Desi, Desi doesn't mean brown, the term Desi is only for South-Asians who speak Indic languages, even Pathans are not Desi.

Egyptians are North Africans like Tunisians, Morrocans etc.

Re: Egyptian people

Actually "Pathans" are the desiest of the desis. There are some Pathans who look identical to Indians, yet claim some type of ancestral link to Afghanistan. I don't mean this in skin color, because many Pakhtuns may be dark as hindostanis.

Egyptians are :biggthumb
