Arab Egyptians are the people of Egypt who identify as part of the Arab world. They primarily speak Arabic and share cultural ties with other Arab nations. The majority of Arab Egyptians are Muslim, with a significant minority being Coptic Christians. Historically, Arab Egyptians trace their roots back to the ancient Egyptians and the Arab conquest of Egypt in the 7th century. This blend of cultures has shaped their unique identity, which includes traditional music, cuisine, and festivals that reflect both Pharaonic and Islamic influences.
