The Yacoubian building, by Alaa Al Aswany

Nefertiti by Michelle Mran
and
The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran again. She writes beautiful historical fiction

Woman at point zero, by Nawal El Saadawi.
It's a strong book about women's conditions in Egypt by Nawal El Saadawi, an egyptian writer who's been emprisoned and forced to flee Egypt because of her work for women's rights.

I also liked The Harafish by Naguib Mahfouz a lot.

Basma Abdel Aziz, The Queue. Really likes this one: dystopian state, reminds me of Victor Pelevin and Ismail Kadare, written by a woman activist. Strange and compelling.
