Egyptians are hard workers and the some of the most productive in the middle east. They also have a significant percentage of Christians, one of the most ancient sects, the Copts.

The fact Egyptians work hard is the reason why many of them are working in Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates in almost every job possible from menial labor all the way up to high management.
