 The Arab Republic of Egypt is in north Africa on the Mediterrean coast, between Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, the Red Sea on the east and the Gaza Strip on the Asian Sinai Peninsula to Israel on the northeast. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural center of the Middle East and noted for some of the world's most ancient and important monuments - Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza, Luxor with the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings along the Nile River.
Egypt is on the plateau of the Sahara Desert, interrupted by Nile valley and delta. The land along the Nile River is the only arable land and Egypt's population is presently and historically concentrated along the Nile. Cairo, the capital of Egypt and its most populous city (also Africa's largest city), along with Alexandria in the Nile Delta, are ancient cities with rich histories.

They place you as a neighbor to the pyramids... Who vigilantly watches the blessed Osiris...” Inscription from m the second century A.D. |

It produced some of the greatest rulers of all time, and it left behind some of the most impressive monuments ever built — including the world-famous pyramids the Egyptians constructed as tombs for their leaders. ...

Egypt – Approximately 5,000 years ago, one of the world's first and most important civilizations spring up in northeastrn Africa, centerd on the Nile River. The Nile was important for many reasons. Not only was it the central transportation route in the region, but it also overflowed its banks every year, leaving dark soil perfect for growing crops and raising animals. In fact, the people called their land "Kemet," which means "Black Land." We know this civilization as ancient Egypt.
