Egyptian British people, or Egyptian Britons (Arabic: مصريّون بريطانيون, Miṣrīyūn Brīṭaniūn) are people of Egyptian ancestry who are citizens of the United Kingdom.
According to the 2001 UK Census some 24,700 Egyptian-born people were present in the UK.[1]
Despite not being a British citizen, the Egyptian businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed is well known throughout the United Kingdom, both for his business holdings as the owner of Harrod's and Fulham F.C., and his involvement in the cash-for-questions affair.[2]
