Egyptian Society for Science Fiction
I had the good fortune to meet the President of Egyptian Society for Science Fiction Dr. Hosam El-Zembely and its member Emad Aysha in Nasr City (a suburb of Cairo) at their headquarters last week. The Egyptian Society for Science Fiction (جمعية المصرية لأدب الخيال العلمي) is a Science Fiction organization set up in 2012 by Dr. El-Zembely to promote Science Fiction in Egypt and the wider Arab World. They were also kind enough to give me a collection of all the anthologies that they have published so far. Here is a summary of the list.
| Date | Name |
| 2012 | Al-Qadimun (The Arrivals) |
| 2013 | Al-Aidun (Those Who Returned) |
| 2013 | Al-Thairun (The Rebels) |
| 2013 | Al-Muntasirun (The Victors) |
| 2017 | Al-Samidun (Those Who Persevered) |
| 2019 | Al-Mustaqbaliun (The Futurists) |
The society has regular meetings in Nasr City on a monthly basis where they discuss and critique the work of their members. If you are in town then be sure to stop by their meetings.
