Egypt

Egypt is the desert civilisation that built monuments before most of the world had words. Pyramids, temples, and the slow Nile still define the country, balanced now by Red Sea reefs and the buzz of modern Cairo.

About Egypt

Overview

Egypt occupies the northeastern corner of Africa, bordered by Libya, Sudan, Israel, and the Red Sea, with the Sinai Peninsula bridging into Asia. The Nile River bisects the country from south to north. Cairo is the capital. Arabic is the official language, and the Egyptian pound is the currency. Egyptian identity is shaped by one of the world's longest continuous civilisations.
