Egypt: population growth

Here's an interesting graph of Egyptian population growth. Up approx 400% since 1950. And up 21% since 2000. I wonder what GDP per capita looks like?

Update:
According to Wikipedia, inflation-adjusted GDP/capita increased about 3-fold from 1981 to 2006, even as the population increased approx 75% in that time period.

Update 2:
A Wolfram Alpha search on 'Egypt gdp per capita' gives the current figure and a time series graph. I expect it's not inflation adjusted. Anyone know how to get that from Wolfram?
