We analyzed Y‐chromosome haplotypes in the Nile River Valley in Egypt in 274 unrelated males, using the p49a,f Taq I polymorphism. These individuals were born in three regions along the river: in Alexandria (the Delta and Lower Egypt), in Upper Egypt, and in Lower Nubia. Fifteen different p49a,f Taq I haplotypes are present in Egypt, the three most common being haplotype V (39.4%), haplotype XI (18.9%), and haplotype IV (13.9%). Haplotype V is a characteristic Arab haplotype, with a northern geographic distribution in Egypt in the Nile River Valley. Haplotype IV, characteristic of sub‐Saharan populations, shows a southern geographic distribution in Egypt. Am J Phys Anthropol 121:000–000, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc
