Afterwards, Strandvägen was then known to be- “a street unparalleled in Europe” and continues to be a landmark of Swedish urban planning and architecture. The two countries have since the early 1900’s enjoyed a long history of cultural and economic cooperation. For instance, Egypt is considered to be Sweden’s second largest market in the MENA region, where Sweden mainly exports wood, paper products, metals, telecom and sound recording.
Egypt’s main imports to Sweden are within the agricultural and textile sector which consists of textile yarn, fabrics, clothing, and accessories. Furthermore, in 2009, Engineer Rashid Mohamed Rashid, the Minister of Trade and Industry and Swedish Minister of Trade, Dr. Ewa Björling, exchanged visits and agreed on starting cooperation between Swedish financial institutions and Exports Development Bank to offer credit facilitations promoting cooperation and trade among companies in both countries. Egypt has also been a host to many Swedish visitors throughout the years, for example, up to 2010 Egypt had hosted an approximate 210 000 Swedish tourists per year. Visitors come annually to enjoy the Red Sea beaches, Red Sea diving, and traveling along the major cities of the Nile.

Iconic monuments such as the Giza Necropolis and its Great Sphinx, as well the ruins of Memphis, Thebes, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings, reflect this legacy and remain a significant focus of archaeological study and popular interest worldwide. Egypt's rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, having endured and at times assimilated various foreign influences, including Greek, Persian, Roman, Arab, Ottoman, and European. Modern Egypt is considered to be a regional and middle power, with significant cultural, political, and military influence in North Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim world. Its economy is one of the largest and most diversified in the Middle East, with sectors such as tourism, agriculture, industry and services at almost equal production levels.

The positive relation between Egypt and Sweden is also mirrored in educational exchanges. Approximately six Egyptian students per year receive scholarships from the Swedish Institute to complete higher degrees of education in Sweden and 15 young leaders and entrepreneurs from both Sweden and Egypt meet in exchanging leadership programs. This successful cooperation between Egypt and Sweden has led to many successful trade, economical, and entrepreneurial accomplishments, among them being the story of Mr. Emad Bayoumy. Mr. Bayoumy grew on a farm around the Nile Delta in Egypt where he assisted his father and uncle in bread baking. In 1989 he made a life changing decision and moved to Sweden with his wife Karin Bartils Bayoumy and then three children.
