埃及: The Other Homeland | 半島電視台世界

Greeks and Egyptians are connected by ancient history. Both peoples are descendants of two of the world’s oldest known civilisations.

At the start of the 20th century there were about 200,000 Greeks in Egypt. 今天, the Greek community there has approximately 1,000 members.

It was a community that once controlled 80 percent of Egypt’s financial life, founded the first bank, established the country’s first theatres and cinemas, and produced the first wines and cigarettes.

But this thriving community departed with the rise to power of Gamal Abdel Nasser and pan-Arab nationalism.

This film follows several Greek citizens who undertake a return visit to Egypt, the land where they were born and raised.

They visit their old homes and neighbourhoods as well as former family businesses, and they search for the Egyptian friends they left behind.
