Arab Republic of Egypt
Where civilisation meets the Nile
Egypt occupies the north-eastern corner of Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula reaching into western Asia. It borders the Mediterranean to the north and the Red Sea to the east. The Nile crosses it from south to north before splitting into the Rosetta and Damietta branches in the Delta. Desert covers most of the land: the Western Desert west of the Nile and the Eastern Desert between the river and the Red Sea.
