Easy, here goes;

Egypt is the most populous country in the Middle East and the second-most populous on the African continent, with nearly 79 million people. Approximately 90% of the population adheres to Islam and most of the remainder to Christianity (primarily the Coptic Orthodox.

Capital: Cairo

Economy: Egypt's economy depends mainly on agriculture, media, petroleum exports, and tourism; there are also more than three million Egyptians working abroad, mainly in Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf and Europe. Economic conditions have started to improve considerably after a period of stagnation from the adoption of more liberal economic policies by the government, as well as increased revenues from tourism and a booming stock market. FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) into Egypt has increased considerably in the past few years due to the recent economic liberalization measures taken by minister of investment Mahmoud Mohieddin, exceeding $6 billion in 2006. Egypt is slated to overcome South Africa as the highest earner of FDI on the African continent in 2007.

GDP (PPP) 2004 estimate
- Total $305.253 billion (32nd)
- Per capita $4,317 (112th)

No1 seemed to answer the ethinc group part of ur question.
Well, the egyptians r the only ppl on earth who have no certain common features with regard to ethnicity, they r a mix nation.
Egypt (due to its strategic position) had been occupied by almost all other great civilisations since the collapse of its own, and the egyptian population started to mix with these civilisations ever since, but yet never acquired same features or ethnicity of the occupiers, instead, other ethnic groups melted completely in the egyptian population giving birth to the recent mixed ethnicity.
its of no surprise to see a white egyptian with face features of a black man, or a dark skinned man with very sharp greek features and blue eyes!
furthermore, two dark couples could give birth to a white baby and vice versa.
u may as well c a whole family each of its members having completely different features from each others.
there was a french artist who wrote a book about different ethnic groups and their different face features, he could set certain propotions for each ethnicity except for the egyptians cuz there is no common feature.
Bottom line, egyptians r a mixture of, pharoas, greeks, romans mediteranians,arabs, (with a very little fine additions from the british and the french)

I want to add that this genetic mixture explains why the egyptian children are stated as the smartest children till age 6!!
