Egypt



EGYPTIANS … 83

The people of Egypt are known as Egyptians. They trace their origin to the intermarriages of ancient Egyptians with invaders over many centuries from Asia and Africa. Several tribes of Bedouins or Bedu (nomads) live in the deserts and the Sinai Peninsula. See the chapter on Saudi Arabia in Volume 8 for more information on the Bedu.
