CAIRO – 10 September 2021: A state of grief has prevailed as thousands have gathered to say goodbye to late business tycoon Mahmoud Al-Araby, known for charity, who passed away at 89 on Thursday.

Araby’s funeral was held in his hometown in Ashmoun center of Menoufia governorate.

Speaking with Egypt Today, Hamada Sami Gad, a dweller of the center, said that Araby was one of the noblest and kindest businessmen, as he was known for his good treatment of all, his extreme humility, and his unremitting smile.

He has been like a door that was open to all and has never hesitated to respond to the demands of any of the workers in his companies, and he was keen to provide the best standards living for them, Gad said.

Another dweller, Emad Yassin said the memory of late businessman will remain immortal and will never be forgotten by anyone who dealt with him.

Yassin said Araby built 400 burials in Ashmoun for men and women for charity.

Mahmoud Al-Araby was born in 1932 as part of an indigent family in Ashmoun. His father passed away while Mahmoud was in a young age.

Mahmoud Al-Araby then moved to live in Cairo and worked as a salesman in a small shop for stationery. Eventually, he turned to become the co-founder of one of the largest business entities in Egypt.
