Welcome to Egypt.
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and
Western Asia. The great majority of its estimated 76 million live near the
banks of the Nile River, in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000
sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas
of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents
live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated
centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization
and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid
complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous
ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings.
Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of
the Middle East.
