Most women wear clothing that covers all parts of their bodies. This may include wearing a hijab (cover for the neck and head) or a niquab (cover of the face and head).

These two, along with an elected parliament, will run the country, like a democracy.
In practice however, the president has ended up having near total control over the country, becoming especially more obvious under Mubarak's rule in 1981. Since then, Egypt operated under martial law, which allows the government to suspend its citizen's constitutional rights.]]> 2017-04-27 11:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/17escoel/boqiuc6h1gd9/wish/168594867 17escoel https://padlet.com/17escoel/boqiuc6h1gd9/wish/168595696 Red- represents the struggle against the former British occupation of Egypt
