At the end of 2005, roughly 400 Filipino students studied at Al-Azhar and other Egyptian universities.[1] References1. ^1 {{citation|title=RP, Egypt forge stronger ties during third bilateral consultations|periodical=Press release|publisher=Department of Foreign Affairs|publication-place=Philippines|date=19 December 2005|accessdate=2008-10-12|url=http://www.dfa.gov.ph/news/pr/pr2005/dec/pr901.htm}} {{ethno-group-stub}}{{Immigration to Egypt}}{{Demographics of Egypt}}{{Overseas Filipinos}}2. ^1 2 {{citation|title=Life in Egypt without a visa|last=Romberg|first=Benjamin|periodical=Daily News|publication-place=Egypt|date=19 August 2006|accessdate=2008-10-12|url=http://www.dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=2672|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721072607/http://www.dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=2672|archive-date=2011-07-21|deadurl=yes|df=}} 3. ^1 {{citation|title=No placement for domestics in Egypt|periodical=The Inquirer|publication-place=Manila|date=29 January 2008|accessdate=2008-10-12|last=Uy|first=Veronica|url=http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view_article.php?article_id=115525}} 4. ^{{citation|title=BI bans Egyptian recruiter for maltreatment of Filipinos|url=http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view_article.php?article_id=87564|last=Ortiz|first=Margaux|periodical=The Inquirer|publication-place=Manila|date=9 September 2007|accessdate=2008-10-12}} 3 : Asian diaspora in Egypt|Ethnic groups in Egypt|Filipino diaspora by country |
