The diet of the rich people consisted of mainly fruits and vegetables, whereas poor people did not have access to those types of food. Most Egyptians get marriage at a young age, and women in Egypt have less freedom than men, however, this is changing in city centers. Most children have little free time because they start working at an early age, in addition to going to school. Many modern women have their own property and their own businesses while looking after their children. (TourEgypt Website)

Primarily, Egypt is part of the Sahara Desert, which runs all across the most northern region of Africa. Many people settled in Egypt because of their large source of water, the Nile River runs through the middle of the desert. Egypt receives fewer than eighty millimeters of precipitation annually in most areas and most rain falls along the coast. Egypt has only two seasons, a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October. The primary crops are wheat and barley. (GAIN, 2010, p.3) Wheat that is made into bread is one of the major food eaten by the people of Egypt, past and present. Barley was grown to make a beer-like substance.
