Egyptian Americans are individuals of Egyptian descent who live in the United States. They may have been born in Egypt or have parents or grandparents from the country. This community has grown significantly since the mid-20th century, with many settling in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. The culture of Egyptian Americans is a blend of traditional Egyptian customs and American influences. They often celebrate Egyptian holidays such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, while also participating in American festivities. Many maintain their language, Arabic, and share their rich heritage through food, music, and art.
