Muhammad Ali of Egypt
1769 CE–1849 CE · Cairo
Muhammad Ali (1769–1849) was an Ottoman military commander of Albanian origin who became viceroy (wāli) of Egypt in 1805 and governed the province until 1848. He consolidated power, reorganized the army along European lines, and pursued far-reaching reforms in agriculture, industry, and administration. His campaigns extended Egyptian influence into Sudan, Arabia, and the Levant, and he established a hereditary dynasty that ruled Egypt until 1952. He is widely regarded as the founder of modern Egypt.
