Jews played a key role in Egyptian culture. Among the most prominent were playwright and journalist Yaqub James Sanua, Karaite poet and jurist Murad Faraj, and poet, writer, playwright, journalist, and producer Maurice Shammas.
Jews were disproportionately involved in the film industry. Joseph Mosseri founded Josy (Jawzi) Film in 1915 and owned a chain of Egyptian cinemas, and Togo Mizrahi (see " Mizrahi's Cinema," p. 49) The culture of the Jews from Arab lands, the Arab Jews, is a key to a different possibility. Why should we not talk about an integrated, common Jewish and Arab culture? After all, the culture of the Jews in Arab countries was not only a traditional culture of those special communities, but part of the culture of the entire Arab region.
In truth, Jewish life was always inseparable from the broader culture in these countries. Egyptian Jewish singer and film star Laila Mourad was a prime example of this minglin

Anglo-American experiences in Egypt and the Near East have been a popular subject in post-colonial studies since Edward Said published his seminal work Orientalism in 1978. Little attention, however, has been given to the “dragomen” that were often employed as interpreters and guides. These local men (and it was invariably men) were a conduit through which early travellers experienced the Orient and interpreted what they saw. In this well-written and good-humoured book, Mairs and Muratov examine the relationship between dragoman and client, and investigate the ways in which dragomen both reinforced and confronted Western perceptions of the East in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
