Interesting, I already heard about Bosniaks in Palestine and Soudan but not Egypt.

Also in Tunisia , there is a singer called Lutfi Bosnak.

Thanks a lot, this will be useful information. Seems like most of the people who went to Egypt and other North African and Middle Eastern countries were from Herzegovina, which explains the lack of Bosniak population in these parts today. It would be interesting to find these people today and hear their stories.

Do you know if there is recent immigration, like during the 20th century? I know there are Bosniaks in Lybia from the times Yugoslav companies were implanted there.

Ya a bosnian friend told me about guys of his family worked in Libya during Ghdaffi rule but i really don't know about them .. anyway i have photo of Yugoslav and Croatians in Egypt (Croatian and Yugoslavian refugees work as cobblers at a refugee camp in El Shatt, Egypt during World War II.)

It's quite interesting that people from the Balkans emigrated to North Africa and the Middle East. Usually we only hear about the ones living in "the West".

The country with the biggest number of Bosniaks is not Bosnia, but Turkey. Over 2 million of us there. If Bakir is so close to Erdogan, I'm sure he can visit our people there sometime?

many nationalities lived in Egypt from Balkan people , Italians , Greeks , French , etc.. if you had the chance to visit Egypt , go to Alexandria and ask for houses and buildings of European refugees and citizens.
