Wusstest du?
Egyptian Arabic is the most widely understood dialect in the Arab world because of the country's dominance in cinema and music since the early 20th century.
Ancient Egyptians were among the first to use a calendar with 365 days, and they invented many items we use today, including paper (papyrus), pens, and locks.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years until the Lincoln Cathedral was completed in 1311.
Egypt is home to the world's oldest dress, the Tarkhan Dress, which was woven from linen and dates back more than 5,000 years.
