The Economic Situation in Rural Egypt in the Fatimid era

Abstract

The Fatimid rule of Egypt represents an essential stage of its historical and civilizational stages, as the Fatimid era remained in Egypt between (358 AH - 567 AH). Egypt has been an agricultural country ever since. Furthermore, Egypt has received more interest from historians politically rather than economically and civilizationally. This attention comes in a brief and does not give a clear picture of the agricultural life and the existing systems in that period.
