This is Not Nefertiti's Egypt!
When you hear about Egypt, you usually hear about its extraordinary, more than 5-thousand-year-old civilization – about its pharaohs, gods and archaeological riches. Join me in Egypt with Maha Abdulkhalek as we discuss the REAL Egypt of today -- the one the tourists don’t see.

Wow, Paulette - This was perhaps the best of your podcasts. Maha is so interesting, and your descriptions along with her narrative really opened my eyes to the possibilities and realities for woman, and society as a whole, in Egypt today. The ending remarks of both of you about the Feeling of Egypt were wonderful, even poignant. The whole conversation gave me an appreciation for the Egyptian people that I could not get elsewhere. Your journalism is superb. Thank you! Kathie J
