The questions concerning modern-day Egypt and its history from 7th century AD to present. For questions about ancient Egypt, use the [ancient-egypt] tag instead.
The questions tagged egypt should refer to the territories in the lower part of the river Nile, since Muslim Arab invasion in 7th century AD, then a part of Ottoman Empire (16th-20th centuries), a state under British protectorate (19th - 20th centuries), then fully independent Arab Republic of Egypt.
For example, questions about:
- Mamluks
- Battle of Abukir
- Muhammad Ali
- Suez Canal
- battles of El-Alamein
- Six-Day War
- Aswan dams on the Nile
would all be valid.
For questions about Ancient Egypt, during the rule of Pharaohs (ca. 3000 BC - 300 BC), Classical (Ptolemaic) Egypt and as a province of the Roman Empire, use the ancient-egypt tag instead.
