African.

selasfaction!

Middle Eastern, African, counted as an Arab, Mediterranean country. Umm ethnically we are not Arab.

added: alot insist on the Arab part, we are an Arabic speaking nation, our ethnicity is NOT Arab, the name Arab republic of Egypt was created by the stupid Arab Nationalists, Allah yesma7hom (Nasser and company) just to promote a certain Ideology they had. Yes part of us are of Arab origin, the ones who came from the Arabian peninsula during the Islamic era but in all we aren't Arab, walahy El 3azeem mesh Arab!!!

Both. Egypt falls in the Continent of Africa, thus is an African country (but we're not black). The mother tongue language in Egypt is Arabic and thus it is an Arab country. It is also considered a Middle Eastern country, not to forget the land of Pharaohs ;)

North African nation, Islamic religion and Arabic is the spoken language. Like England is a north European nation, Christian religion and English the spoken language.

I have always heard it referred to as an Arab country, due to its majority people. When most say African country, they are usually talking about Sub-Saharan Africa. Just my own experience talking.

relative to its geographical site it is African.
relative to its ethnic group it is Arabic.
relative to its official religion it is Islamic.
relative to its history it is a kingdom of Pharaohs.

Man, I don't know who told you that.
We studied in the political-affairs class that Egypt is a middle-eastern country.

Ask an Egyptian he will say Arab, they consider africa as third world countries, and they are a devoloping country, taken them 3000 years to develope how much longer do they need, so the truth is Africa

as sad as it might be, arabs invaded egypt in 641, making it an arab country with islam as its religion and arabic as its language......eh....and it became the arab republic of egypt

egypt is a north african country.

You are ignorant.
Arab countries are either African or Asian.
