Map Of EgyptEgypt Travel Tips Location: Middle East, North Africa. Time: GMT + 2 (GMT + 3 from last Friday in April to last Thursday in September). Area: 1,002,000 sq km (386,874 sq miles). Population 76.5 million (census 2006). Population Density 74.8 per sq km. Capital: Cairo (El Qahira). Population: 18.3 million (2006 estimate). Geography Egypt is bordered to the north by the Mediterranean, to the south by Sudan, to the west by Libya, and to the east by the Red Sea and Israel. The River Nile divides the country unevenly in two, while the Suez Canal provides a third division with the Sinai Peninsula. Beyond the highly cultivated Nile Valley and Delta, a lush green tadpole of land that holds more than 90% of the population, the landscape is mainly flat desert, devoid of vegetation apart from the few oases that have persisted in the once fertile depressions of the Western Desert. Narrow strips are inhabited on the Mediterranean coast and on the African Red Sea coast. The coast south of Suez has fine beaches and the coral reefs just offshore attract many divers. The High Dam at Aswan now controls the annual floods that once put much of the Nile Valley under water; it also provides electricity. |
