Everything from Egypt

Egypt is a transcontinental country in North Africa with a small portion in Asia’s Sinai Peninsula. It is bordered by Libya, Sudan, Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the Mediterranean and Red Seas. With a population of over 110 million, it is the Arab world’s most populous nation. Its capital, Cairo, lies along the Nile River, which has shaped Egyptian civilisation for millennia. Egypt is world-renowned for its ancient heritage, from the pyramids of Giza and temples of Luxor to the Valley of the Kings.

Ancient Egypt flourished as one of the earliest advanced civilisations, leaving behind monumental architecture, hieroglyphs, and cultural achievements. Conquered by various empires, including the Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans, it became a modern republic in 1953. Today, Egypt plays a central role in Middle Eastern politics and global trade through the Suez Canal, while tourism and agriculture remain vital economic sectors.
