Welcome to The Foreign Local, where we’re connecting the Egyptian diaspora with what real life looks like in Om el Donya through the lens of those who grew up abroad and moved back to Egypt as adults. On this podcast, you’ll find a series of candid conversations about what it’s like to grow up as an Egyptian abroad, what prompted people to come back, and what it’s been like existing in the sweet spot between not being a foreigner yet not quite being a local either. Episodes drop every Tuesday. You can find us on Instagram @theforeignlocal.
