Egypt: Geography
    Location: the northeast corner of the continent of Africa Size: approximately 997,740 sq. km Capital: Cairo Official language (today): Arabic Official language (ancient): combination Semitic and Hamitic Major river: The Nile divides Egypt in half Deserts: Libyan, Nubian, and Eastern. They were barriers of protection, shielding the people against invasion by surrounding civilizations Topography: The highest lands are in the south and the land slopes gently toward the Mediterranean Sea. There are some mountains located on the southern Sinai peninsula. Some of these reach over 2600 meters (8530 feet high). The land at the Mediterranean is at sea level. Climate: very dry; there is almost no rainfall on a regular basis. The people depend on the annual summer floods of the Nile River for water. The floods begin in June and end in October. Without the Nile, there would likely be no Egypt.

    Geography
    Introduction
    The Arab Republic of Egypt occupies the northeast corner of Africa, lying within the great Sahara Desert. It is bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the south by the Republic of Sudan, on the west by Libya, and on the east by Israel, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Red Sea. This geographical position has made Egypt a hub of world trade since ancient times. Egypt has a total area of 1 million square kilometers (386,100 square miles) of land—almost twice the size of Spain. Barren deserts occupy more than 90 percent of the country. The Nile separates the dunes of the Western Desert from the mountainous Eastern Desert. These two deserts, the Nile Valley, and the Sinai Peninsula make up Egypt's four geographic areas.

    INTRODUCTION TO EGYPT
    Read me before you begin!!! The Nile River has been the focus of life in Egypt since the start of the Egyptian civilization, over 5000 years ago. If you sailed down the river, you would see fertile and nutrient-rich strips of land on both sides of your boat. However, beyond the narrow strips of fertile land is the desert which is sparsely populated with people. Egypt's population is completely dependent on the river.
      Yearly events in Egypt were influenced by the Nile River.
    • Farmers decide on the crops to grow based on the times of the year that the river floods. Farmers built levees to control flood water and sent it to canals for the irrigation of their fields. When farmers could not grow crops , they moved into Egyptian cities where they would work together, with other citizens, to build monuments for their gods and pharaoh. This extra work allowed the Egyptian citizens to earn an income year-round no matter what their specialized job was.

    INTRODUCTION
    Background: Nominally independent from the UK in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty following World War II. The completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt. A rapidly growing population (the largest in the Arab world) will continue to stress Egyptian society and overtax resources as the country enters the new millennium.
