Egyptian Freemasonry Documents

Recently I've been receiving quite a few e-mails regarding Freemasonry in Egypt. Unfortunately there isn't a great deal I can tell you regarding this topic outside of seeing several Masonic Graves.

With that said there are a few documents I found which are extremely insightful in terms of historical information about Freemasonry in Egypt prior to the Suez Crisis. Bulwer Lodge of Cairo (Located now in England) has an excellent website which provides some superb information and is possibly the most extensive on the subject. For your convinience I have provided links to the PDF Documents at the bottom of this page.
