When I was in Cairo & Alexandria I came across many Egyptians of paler complexion & just a few that were literally White. The only sub Saharan Africans to be seen, would be beggers in the major street markets, nomads/Bedouins in the desert, or scammers that lived around tourist attractions.
Seemed the higher one was in their chosen field, the paler the complexion but only 3 fields I can speak on with absolute certainty being more White complected is professors within University, almost everyone at the huge museum, and police officers though being a cop was considered a lower caste job. This was 15+ years ago as well.
t. Spent many hours traveling w/ 2 drivers/bodyguards provided by embassy and they would both break into irate ramblings when seeing a darker skinned Egyptian.
tl:dr Egyptians hate niggers

Everyone does. Egypt is somewhere I'd like to visit.
Was a nice place then and not so over developed in a slip shod manner. Granted it was a 3rd world country for the most part but strangely it seemed like a land of opportunity. The rush to build the biggest skyscrapers and hotels which has now ruined the skyline of most views of the Nile River and pyramids sucks considering most areas around there are still known as the cradle of civilization.
Great place to visit, but I would hate to live there again.
