Field of Dreams

Egypt is a country, where everyone dreams - not of becoming the next David Beckham - but of becoming the next Abu Treika. You'll find football (soccer) being played in all corners of the country. And they have reasons to believe in themselves - they have won the African Cup of Nations more than any other country - seven times.

National Pride

Everyone and everything is wearing the flag of Egypt these days!

Helwa ya baladi (beautiful, my country)

In 1979, Dalida gave Egypt a fabulous tribute in what is probably the most captivating and memorable national song ever performed. Note: the meaning of Helwa in Arabic is much more than just beautiful in English, it is something more like sweetness, like honey.
