===Egypt===
Slam Poetry has been in [[Egypt]] since the twentieth century and was introduced by [[Hussain Shafiq al-Misry]]. According to al-Misry, having a variety jobs gave him the experience to understand the struggles of Egyptian people in different classes of life. He had good knowledge of Arabic literature, grammar and some commonly used foreign words as well as slang; which he used to form Halamantishi poetry. Muhammad Ragab Bayyoumi in 1986 wrote an article entitled Hussein Shafiq al-Misry: Ustaz la Tilmeeth lah" (Hussein Shafiq al-Misry: A Teacher with No Student of His) in which he introduced al-Misry's poems and explained al-Misry's literary poetry techniques.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Muhammad|first=Muhammad Agami Hassan|date=Spring 2017|title= Arabic Performance Poetry: A New Mode of Resistance |journal=Arab Studies Quarterly|volume=39|issue=2|pages=815–841|doi=10.13169/arabstudquar.39.2.0815}}</ref> In Egypt Performance Poetry is new in popularity, the term "Ash-Shi'r al-Mu'adda" was recently introduced as the term for performance poetry.<ref name=":0" /> Poets such as  [[Bayram At-Tunisi]], Ahmad Rami, and [[Kamel Ash-Shennawy]] paved the way after al-Misry with lyrical slam poems that use a melodic rhythm to attract the audience.{{Cn|date=October 2022}}
