- Alexandrian are the bravest, or, -Agdaa naas- , has always been a very widespread saying all over Egypt, wherever you are in Egypt and whenever you visit Alexandria or even if you are a native citizen in the city , you always hear this saying , Alexandrian are the bravest you could ever find, however, if you ask me, I think that absolutely no one in Egypt , Alexandrian or not , does know where did this saying come from and why on earth did it start . There are even a few old songs, maybe one or two, that have this saying among its lyric and so we can say that almost anything that has to do with the Alexandrian culture must include or mention this saying as a true fact . However, wondering and wondering what might be the original source of this saying or this assumption, asking both Alexandrian and non, reading about Alexandrian culture, research and research, nothing was found!! There is not even a fairy tales that mentions why on earth do people think that Alexandrian are the bravest and so , I think that we will have to settle with the assumption that this must be true, we can assume that something happened one day with a nonnative Alexandrian in that city and he must have found great bravery in its people and got a great help of them and so he came up with this saying that Alexandrian are the bravest he has ever seen. After wards, this must have been proven throughout history as every time someone needed an Alexandrian , he finds him there and so the saying was proven over and over again. However, as an Alexandrian , I do not really think it is actually that important to know where did it come from , is it? , I mean each and every Alexandrian is automatically born with such an endless pride and as he grows up ,extremely high expectations always accompany him , whenever you are in another city and anyone gets to know that you are an Alexandrian you will instantly here this “Agdaa naas” , so you do not actually have to do anything in order to have this reputation and you do not actually have to worry about where did it come from, was it an ancient saying that depended on one single situation, was it because Alexandrian always try to help strangers more than anyone else , was it just a rumor that was excellently spread , it does not really matter , all what really matters is that if you are an Alexandrian , you should always try to live up to the expectations , you always have to try to prove it right and not the other way around. As an Alexandrian you were born with a great legacy that you have not done any effort to earn it , however, you are asked to do all the effort it could take in order to keep that legacy and to make it last always and forever .
