Even during Roman times, the Nile banks were considered the most fertile land of the empire.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple.jpg\" alt=\"What is Egypt famous for\" class=\"wp-image-19176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple.jpg\" alt=\"What is Egypt famous for\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-19176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ahlan-Monica-Pharaonic-Temple-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Pharaonic Temple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Revolution\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Revolution\"><\/span>#10 Revolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Egypt is so much more than just its ancient history! Like many of its neighboring countries, Egypt participated in the Arab Spring revolutions in 2011. It was a revolution fueled with hope from the younger generations excited to make an impact in their countries.<\/p>\n<p>In January of that year, the country started demonstrations that resulted in the downfall of their 30-year ruler, Hosni Mubarak in only 18 short days. This, then, led to the first democratic election that saw Mohamed Morsi into office. About a year later he was ousted by the Military and replaced by current President el-Sisi.<\/p>\n<p>While like many countries in the region, Egypt has its ups and downs, Egyptians are hopeful for the future. Understanding this pivotal time in its more recent history will help appreciate what led them to where they are today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_the_author\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_the_author\"><\/span>About the author<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Ahlan (or hi!)
