Baheyya: Egypt Analysis and Whimsy بهيّة
Commentary on Egyptian politics and culture by an Egyptian citizen with a room of her own.
About Me
- Name: Baheyya بهيّة
Baheyya is an Egyptian female name that has come to stand in for Egypt itself. The symbolism of course is the handiwork of the gifted duo of Shaykh Imam Eissa and Ahmad Fu'ad Nigm in their haunting song, "Masr yamma, ya Baheyya." I make no foolish claims to represent Egypt or all Egyptians, I just like the name.
