It might not be the best thing to mention this here: A good part is similar to Hatshepsut in Civ7 .
Okay, I guess there's some obvious stereotypes, which can easily be used.

I haven't been paying much attention to Civ 7 beyond the announcement, but I would expect there to be some similarities between the various Egypts in different games. I am no historian, but when I think about old Egypt, the river and flood plains, the grand monuments, and the religion are the first things which come to mind.

Nefertiti's Egypt in Ara seems to be leaning most heavily into the agrarian and religious aspects, rather than the monuments. Of the three nations which have been featured so far, Egypt is probably the one which has resonated with me the most. I like playing the map, and Egypt seems like a a nice, straight forward builder civ, with the potential for great population growth.

Also, I just like the look of those riverside farms.

Makes sense, Nefertiti was the Great Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten and was quite a zealot, just like him. She just didn't have his insanity.
