And Egyptians are not “Arabs”.
Not all “Arabs” are ethnically the same.
An Egyptian culturally and racially is not the same as a Saudi, Moroccan or Syrian.
However they have a common bond in the Arab language, script and partially shared Islamic history.
The modern ideology of (Pan)Arabic nationalism further created a bond between otherwise very different Arab nations.
Most Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians etc. will insist on certain differences, but agree on being “Arabs” nontheless.
