Overview of Egypt's geography
Map Egypt Egypt map Map of Egypt
Egypt is located in northeastern
Africa and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to
the north and the Red Sea to the east. It shares
land borders with Libya to the west, Sudan to the
south, and Israel and Palestine to the northeast
[1]. Covering an area of approximately 1,002,450
square kilometers, Egypt is the 30th largest country
in the world [2]. The country's land borders are
notable for two areas: the Hala'ib Triangle and Bir
Tawil, which are both disputed territories between
Egypt and Sudan [3]. The capital city of Egypt is
Cairo, which is located in the northern part of the
country [4].

Map of Egypt
Egypt is home to several major bodies of water,
including the Nile River, the Red Sea, the
Mediterranean Sea, and the Suez Canal. The Nile
River is the primary source of fresh water in Egypt
and is essential for the country's agriculture and
economy [5]. The Red Sea, located to the east of
Egypt, is an important shipping route and is home to
several coral reefs and marine species. The
Mediterranean Sea borders the northern coast of
Egypt and is a popular tourist destination for its
beaches and historical sites. The Suez Canal, which
connects the Mediterranean and Red Seas, is a major
international waterway and a vital part of global
trade [6].
Egypt's topography is diverse, with several notable
features such as the Sahara Desert, the Nile River
Valley, and the Sinai Peninsula. The country's
terrain ranges from deserts and mountains to fertile
river valleys and coastal plains [7]. The Nile River
Valley, which accounts for only 5% of Egypt's land
area, is home to over 95% of the country's
population and is the most densely populated region
in the country [4]. The Sinai Peninsula, located to
the east of the Nile Delta, is home to several
mountain ranges and is a popular tourist destination
for its beaches and historical sites [8]. Overall,
Egypt's geography plays a significant role in its
history, economy, and cultural identity.

Egypt's political divisions and major
cities
Egypt is divided into 27 governorates and 4 regions,
each with its own unique characteristics and
cultural traditions. The regions are composed of a
number of contiguous governorates, with one declared
as the regional capital [9]. Some of the
governorates in Egypt include Aswan, Beni Suef,
Dakahlia, Damietta, Faiyum, Gharbia, Giza, Ismailia,
Kafr El Sheikh, Luxor, Minya, and Monufia [10][11].
These governorates and regions are important for
physical planning purposes and local administration,
with three subnational levels including
governorates, regions, districts, cities, and
villages [12].
Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, is the largest city
in the country and a major cultural and economic
center in the region. Other major cities in Egypt
include Alexandria, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Port Said,
and Suez [13][14]. These cities are home to millions
of people and play a significant role in the
country's economy and history. A detailed map of
these cities can be found online, allowing visitors
to explore the different neighborhoods and landmarks
[15][16].
Egypt's population is concentrated along the Nile
River and its delta, with the majority of the
country's people living in the densely populated
regions [17][18]. The population distribution can be
visualized using different maps and datasets that
show overall population density, age group
distribution, and more [19][20]. Understanding the
population distribution is important for
policymakers and urban planners, as it can help
guide decisions related to infrastructure, housing,
and public services. Historical statistical data can
also provide insights into the residences of
white-collar workers in Tokyo and Osaka during the
modernizing period [21].

Tourist attractions and notable
landmarks in Egypt
Egypt is home to some of the world's most iconic
ancient pyramids and temples, making it a popular
destination for tourists. The Pyramids and Temples
of Egypt are among the most significant historical
landmarks in the world, and visitors can explore
these sites on guided tours or independently [22].
Ancient Egyptian civilization was centered around
the Nile River, and many of the major cities and
archaeological sites are located along the river,
from Abu Simbel in the south to Alexandria in the
north [23]. Maps of ancient Egypt highlight the
major cities, pyramids, and temples, providing
visitors with an overview of the country's rich
history and culture [24]. The historical
significance of these landmarks makes them a
must-see for anyone interested in ancient history.
In addition to the ancient pyramids and temples, Egypt
is home to numerous museums and cultural sites that
offer visitors a glimpse into the country's rich
cultural heritage. The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum,
located in San Jose, California, houses the largest
collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of Egypt,
including mummies, jewelry, and ancient texts [25].
The British Museum in London also has an extensive
collection of Egyptian artifacts, including the
Rosetta Stone, which was instrumental in deciphering
hieroglyphics [26]. These museums and cultural sites
provide visitors with a deeper understanding of
Egypt's history, art, and culture.
Egypt's natural wonders and recreational activities
are also popular among tourists. The country is home
to many beautiful natural wonders, such as the Wadi
Rum in Jordan and Mount Sinai in Egypt, which offer
visitors breathtaking views and opportunities for
outdoor activities [27]. The Red Sea coast is a
popular destination for snorkeling and scuba diving,
with colorful coral reefs and a diverse range of
marine life [28]. The Aswan Botanical Garden and
Elephantine Island offer visitors a chance to relax
and enjoy the beauty of nature [29]. These natural
wonders and recreational activities provide visitors
with a chance to experience the beauty of Egypt
beyond its historical landmarks and cultural sites.
