I am trying to find two Egyptian varieties as a gift for a friend's husband. I'd really like to have them for my own collection as well.
Id prefer to trade for them but I'm willing to pay as well.
I am curious why it seems difficult to find figs from Egypt as they certainly seem to grow plenty over there. Does anyone know why there aren't a bunch of easily available Egyptian figs?
Thank you.

In Egypt the figs are mainly grown on e north coast by the Mediterranean. There are only very few known varieties. Most of Egypt is a dry desert the only agriculture areas are along the Nile and northern Egypt. I got a couple varieties but too small to take cuttings.

Thx guys, I appreciate it.

Bass, what I don't get is Egypt is the number one producer of figs. So, where are the Egyptian fig trees. Are they only growing a few certain varieties? 
Anyway thanks again for my little surprise.

I traveled to Egypt a few years ago, i saw a few fig trees poking over walled gardens  of private homes and at  a Nubian island  farm  on the Nile neer Luxor.
I saw no fresh figs in the markets.
We did have very good dried figs with breakfast often.
