Google Releases Egyptians' Top Searches For 2015

It’s the time of the year that every Egyptian has been waiting for. No, we speak not of Christmas, but of Google’s annual announcement of Egypt’s most searched topics and trends. Returning for its 15^th installment, the Google annual report gives an interesting insight into the lives of Egyptians and their search habits, covering everything from the Suez Canal to Faten Hamama. You may already be assuming that this is a list of different porn searches showcasing the nation's favourite fetishes, but alas no porn searches or trends made their way onto this list. We’re not exactly sure if it was Google’s decision to omit these searches or if Egypt somehow transformed itself into an actually uber conservative country overnight. Either way, here is what Egyptians were interested in this year.
