Egyptian Royalty

One of the truly great things about the internet, is how it brings people who share a common interest together. This group is dedicated to the dynasty that ruled Egypt from 1805 to 1952. The information section lists its eleven rulers starting with Muhammad Ali through to the infant King Ahmad Fouad II (son of King Farouk), who was very briefly named king after his father's abdication. There are well over 1,500 images in the gallery, although many are duplicated. There are also links to video clips, ranging from footage from olden days to more recent interviews with surviving members of the royal family. Threads on the discussion board include 'a visit to princess fawzia in semouha in Alexandria...the king's sister', 'interview with last king of egypt', 'Princess Fawzia' birthday' and 'Could it be possible to bring back the monarchy system,do you think it would do some good to this country?Yes or No&why?'

What's great about this group: It shares a recent chapter of Egypt's history.

Ypdate (11 April 2024) - There seems to be no Facebook group with this name anymore. There are several other groups dedicated to various aspects of Egyptian history.
