Welcome
Welcome to the Egyptian Experience site! Here you too will have your own Egyptian experience in which you will learn about the Egyptian foods, symbols, religion and more. As you soon will realize that Egypt has more interesting aspects to it, besides the mysterious world of Ancient Egypt. This year, 2011, was a historical year in the history of Egypt. Christians and Muslims alike have fought hard for a government in which their voices can be heard. They hope for a government in which the minority as well as the majority have a say. Although a lot is know about the majority Muslim population, not much is know about the minority Christian populations.
Therefore the religious section in this site is dedicated to the Coptic Christian traditions.
