Malays in Egypt make up a part of overseas Malay population. Malays who came to Egypt are mainly from Malaysia and Indonesia. These Malays came from different ethnic groups but it is their Malay cultural assimilation and their religion Islam that unites them together as ethnic Malays. In 1927, Malaysian and Indonesian students have started their Seruan Azhar [1][2]
