Egypt

Egypt is a country on the continent of Africa, internationally famous for it's pyramid structures which have stood for thousands of years.

Cleopatra, an ancient Egyptian ruler, has long been romanticized as the "Queen of the Nile," having been featured in countless works of art and literature.

Since 2001, Egypt's version of Sesame Street, Alam Simsim, has been in co-production with Sesame Workshop.

The Global Grover segment on Sesame Street has featured the country in which Grover and his camel feature a video about Egyptian farmlands. Ernie and Bert have also travelled to the country to explore its great pyramids. Their stay was short-lived, as Ernie was quickly spooked by a of himself. Their vacation was chronicled in the book, Where's the Duckie?

Characters in Muppet productions hailing from Egypt have included Cleopatra's servants in The Muppet Show episode 319 and the crocodile god Rezal-evad-gib, while Gonzo once dressed as an Egyptian mummy for a number in episode 516 and Telly Monster featured as King Tut on Sesame Street.

Perhaps the most prominently feature Egyptian-related story took place in Don't Eat the Pictures. While on a visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus encounter a young prince from ancient Egypt, who has been trapped with relics procured from the country for thousands of years. Ultimately, he is reunited with his parents after an encounter with figures from Egyptian mythology.
