Venturing out of my usual reading in the technology/gadgetary and travel blogospheres, I’ve discovered a significant number of Egyptian blogs (by “Egyptian” I don’t necceicarily mean that the author is Egyptian…s/he might also be an expat or simply a blog with Egyptian-themed content). Most of these blogs provide quality content, and many write eloquently and make for very intresting reads.

While a lot of these blogs’ content revolve around Egyptian politics, Islam, and other Middle Eastern political issues (they even coined a term for blogging about President Mubarak: Mublogging!), many have other themes, like poetry, culture, photography (one of my favorites is this photoblog: Egyptian Eye) and technology. Some blog in English, some in Arabic and a few do it in a literary cacophony of both.

Here is a quick categorized list of (what I think is) the top of the pack who are currently rocking the blogosphere Egyptian style:

N.B. List is in no particular order.
