This Website was created for a graduation project, for the American University In Cairo JRMC 4480 Capstone Course. This Project is about The Egyptian Identity. Our goal in this project is to give the viewer a glimpse of the Egyptian experience. An understanding of what it is like to be Egyptian and how Egyptians view themselves.
The project was supervised by Professor Kim Fox and Teaching Assistant Heba Fouad.
