Even today, Egypt remains a country with strong Shia ties. Egyptian Sunnis especially followers of Sufi denominations visit revered Shia shrines and mosquesبسم الله الرحمن الرحیم dedicated to Hussein, Hasan, Zainab, Ali, and other Shia Imams, and unwittingly incorporate Shia practices into their traditions and funerary rites. The number of Shia in Egypt is growing, and there have been several cases of Sunnis converting to Shiism.^[7]

Following are few Egyptian Shia organizations:

• "Congregation of Ahl Al-Bayt" ("the family of Prophet Mohamed") headed by Mohamed El-Derini.^[2]
• "Shia Current in Egypt" headed by Mohamed Ghoneim^[8]
