After decades in exile, Prince Muhammad Ali, grandson of Egypt’s last king, Farouk, has made a discreet return to Cairo. While expressing no political ambitions, he hopes to revive his family’s legacy. Calling his return a "dream," the heir to Egypt’s former monarchy reflected on being back in his "homeland," where his grandfather was ousted in a 1952 military coup that ended the monarchy and brought Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser to power.
