Coliving in Egypt

With a population of 96 million as of 2017, Egypt is the most populous Arab country in the world. It is considered to be one of the centers of Islamic arts, culture and entertainment that influence much of the Arabic world across the Middle East and North Africa. It was briefly thrust into the spotlight in 2011 when its social media-savvy youth organized one of the more successful demonstrations during the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ revolution which eventually toppled the 30-year reign of then-President Hosni Mubarak. The widespread use of social media that came to the fore was a revelation to most people from the West as it was previously assumed that there was minimal social media usage for the traditionally conservative country's 90% Muslim population. Today, the country continues to buck stereotypes and is embracing modern concepts in terms of working arrangements without necessarily compromising their inherent personal values.
