Sand Aura are the first Egyptian metal band I came across. While their debut album, "Elegy Of The Orient", isn't quite as good as "
Desert Call" by Myrath, the style is similar, and I definitely would recommend it for anyone who's interested in folk metal/rock with oriental themes. By the way, the 5th track ("Fountains of Moses") is one of the most unusual interpretations of Hava Nagila I've ever heard (
along with the one by Rootwater). If you wand a download link,
try a filestube search and have a good listen, while in the hometown of Sand Aura various political factions are bickering over the project of a new constitution.
