Egyptian culture

Pyramids and hieroglyphs

Egyptian culture refers to the traditions, beliefs, art, and social practices of Egypt, spanning from ancient civilization through the present day.

Ancient Egyptian culture—with its pyramids, pharaohs, hieroglyphics, and elaborate burial practices—remains one of history's most studied and romanticized civilizations.

Modern Egyptian culture blends Arab, Islamic, and Mediterranean influences with pride in its ancient heritage: The museum exhibit showcased five thousand years of Egyptian culture.
