This is a photo of Abdel Aziz Salem (known as Zizo in school). Aziz has been living in Dubai, UAE since 1990, working as an investment banker.

Zizo and Magdy El Rayes were inseparable in El Nasereya High School. They even developed their own peculiar "lingo" and imitation of teachers: Abshihi for Arabic, and  the science guy (forgot his name, used to write poetry) when he was gesturing with his hand on how fish swim.

This is a picture from a reunion of some EGC boys who left in 1975.

Left to right: Mahmoud El Gamal, me, Hani El Menoufi, Abdel Hamid Kassem (non-EGC), Ehab El Habbak, Amr El Souefi, Akram El Nakeeb.

I heard that Dina, the Egyptian belly dancer, has also attended the E.G.C.

Yassin Mansour is head of the Mansour group and and Mansour and Maghrabi Investment Company, among others. His group owns several large businesses including automotive (Chevrolet), fast food (McDonalds), banking (Credit Agricole), and others.

Yassin and myself were in the same grade and classmates in 2nd preparatory. 

Queen Sophia of Spain, daughter of the Greek King Paul attended the E.G.C. She later married the future Spanish monarch, King Juan Carlos.

Do you know someone who graduated from the E.G.C. that turned out to be a famous personality?

If so, please add a comment below with the name and year they graduated, and a brief introduction on why this person is famous. 

I often get email mistking my web site for others. One of those is the EGC where I used to go to school as a kid, and have a few pages on it.

Here is another instance of mistaking my web site for the EGC web site. Names withheld of course.
