Beyond the Nile

society, culture · EN-US

Beyond the Nile is a long-form podcast dedicated to celebrating, chronicling, and preserving the stories of extraordinary Egyptians who have shaped the diaspora and the world. Hosted by Egyptian-American attorney Mark Salah Morgan — the son of Egyptian immigrants — each episode is a single, unhurried conversation with a senator, a scientist, an athlete, an artist, a chef, or an entrepreneur whose story deserves to be told with the depth it contains. Not just the moments of triumph. The full path. The struggle, the sacrifice, and the years when nothing was certain. Guests include Senator George Helmy, the first Egyptian-American U.S. Senator; Ahmed Hassanein, the first player of Egyptian heritage in the NFL; Chef Michael Mina; Dr. Tarek Souryal; Lana Sawiris; and more. Not the resume. The person underneath it. New episodes every other Tuesday starting September 2, 2026. Subscribe now — and share it
