Asiatics in Egypt

In Egypt, "Asiatics" refers to ancient outsiders from the broader Near East regions—such as Canaan, Syria, and Lebanon—who interacted with and sometimes settled in Egypt. They often worked as traders, artisans, or military personnel and played significant roles in Egypt’s history, especially during periods like the Hyksos rule. Their presence brought new cultural influences, technologies, and skills, contributing to Egypt’s development. The term highlights cultural exchanges and migration patterns rather than racial or ethnic differences, reflecting Egypt’s long-standing history as a crossroads of civilizations.
