Tourism in the humorous history of Egypt

Author's name: Muhammad Ghanima

The spirit of humor, lightheartedness and fun have been deeply rooted in the soul of the Egyptian people since ancient history, and perhaps since time immemorial. Laughter and sarcasm run in the blood of the Egyptian like the Nile runs through the heart of his land. That is why many philosophers and historians have studied Egyptian humor and sarcasm; they even took it upon themselves to document stories of laughter, comedians and their tales. With complete ease, you find the Egyptians turning the weight and burden of the impact of momentous events into laughter and sarcasm that may never end to this day. That is why no researcher has knocked on the door of humor and been satisfied. In this book, we tour the main stations in the history of Egyptian humor, and we narrate the stories of Egyptian comedians and their news in modern history and in the soul of the Egyptian people since ancient history, and perhaps since time immemorial.
