Faces from Egypt, in celebration of the International Women's Day

On this special occasion of International Women's Day, the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau in Washington, D.C. honors the remarkable spirit, strength, and achievements of Egyptian women—past and present. From the bustling streets of Cairo to the serene landscapes of Aswan, Egyptian women have been the backbone of our history, culture, and progress.

To mark this celebration, we are proud to share a unique collection of photographs captured with love by Dr. Amany Abdelkhalek, showcasing the beauty, resilience, and diverse stories of women from all over Egypt. This visual journey is accompanied by the enchanting music of Omar Khairat, reflecting the soul of Egypt and the profound role of women in shaping its identity.

Today, we celebrate Egyptian women everywhere—the pioneers, the artists, the scholars, the mothers, and the dreamers.
