How do Egypt's fellahin support themselves?

Answer 1

Typically, fellahin or peasant farmers are the lowest rung in Egyptian society in terms of economics. They typically support themselves by working a low-paid job in the major cities or by having a small farm along the Nile River. With the pittance they make and sell, they usually by beans and flour to make a variety of hearty dips (like humus, ful, etc.) and breads.
