There were deserts to the east and west of the Nile River, and mountains to the south. This isolated the ancient Egyptians and allowed them to develop a truly distinctive culture. The Nile is the world's longest river. It is over 4000 miles long! It is shaped like the lotus flower so often seen in ancient Egyptian art. Each spring, water would run off the mountains and the Nile would flood. As the flood waters receded, black rich fertile soil was left behind. The ancient Egyptian called this rich soil The Gift of the Nile. Fertile soil for crops was not the Nile's only gift. The Nile gave the ancient Egyptians many gifts. Thanks to the Nile, these ancient people had fresh water for drinking and bathing. The Nile supported transportation and trade. It provided materials for building, for making cloth for clothes, and even for making paper - made from the wild papyrus weed, that grew along the shores of the Nile. Because of the annual flooding of the Nile, the ancient Egyptians enjoyed a high standard of living compared to other ancient civilizations. Without the Nile, Egypt would be a desert.

Geography of Egypt World Facts Index Egypt Map of Egypt Physical Size and Borders Egypt, covering 1,001,449 square kilometers of land, is about the same size as Texas and New Mexico combined. The country's greatest distance from north to south is 1,024 kilometers, and from east to west, 1,240 kilometers. The country is located in northeastern Africa and includes the Sinai Peninsula (also seen as Sinai), which is often considered part of Asia. Egypt's natural boundaries consist of more than 2,900 kilometers of coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Red Sea. Egypt shares all 1,150 kilometers of the western border with Libya. This border was defined in 1925 under an agreement with Italy, which had colonized Libya. Before and after World War II, the northern border was adjusted, resulting in the return of the village of As Sallum to Egyptian sovereignty. Egypt shares 255 kilometers of its eastern border in Sinai with Israel and 11 kilometers with the Gaza Strip. Egypt is divided into twenty-six governorates (sometimes called provinces), which include four city governorates: Alexandria (Al Iskandariyah), Cairo (Al Qahirah), Port Said (Bur Said) and Suez; the nine governorates of Lower Egypt in the Nile Delta region; the eight governorates of Upper Egypt along the Nile River south from Cairo to Aswan; and the five frontier governorates covering Sinai and the deserts that lie west and east of the Nile. All governorates, except the frontier ones, are in the Nile Delta or along the Nile Valley and Suez Canal.

Why the valley inhabitants can�t live in desert till now ? All the past trials to encourage them to live in the desert nearly failed because the main item of living home are not suitable.

It is almost square in shape and occupies the northeastern corner of Africa and the Sinai Peninsula of southwestern Asia. The territory of Egypt is about one-ninth the size of the United States, or a little larger than Texas and New Mexico together. The Mediterranean Sea forms the northern boundary of the country, Israel and the Red Sea lie to the east, Sudan lies to the south of Egypt, and Libya to the west. Cairo, the largest city in Africa, is the capital of Egypt. It is situated on the banks of the River Nile. It is a city of contrastsa mixture of ancient culture and modern life, where western-looking buildings and skyscrapers stand side-by-side with Roman antiquities, the tombs of the Caliphs (Muslim rulers), and minarets (a tall slender towers attached to a Islamic worship buildings). The broad Nile River flows the entire length of the country, but most of Egypt is covered by the wind-swept Sahara Desert. The Nile floods its banks every year, depositing rich soil along a narrow strip of land. The majority of the population lives on this strip, even though it makes up only about 3 percent of the country's territory. Only scattered groups of people live in the desert, mostly around oases.

Geography and Agriculture The geography of Egypt is deeply important in understanding why the Egyptians centered their lives around the Nile. Both before and during the use of canal irrigation in Egypt, the Nile Valley could be separated into two parts, the River Basin or the flat alluvial (or black land soil), and the Red Land or red desert land. The River basin of the Nile was in sharp contrast to the rest of the land of Egypt and was rich with wild life and water fowl, depending on the waxing and waning cycles of the Nile. In contrast, the red desert was a flat dry area which was devoid of most life and water, regardless of any seasonal cycle. The Nile in it's natural state goes through periods of inundation and relinquishment. The inundation of the Nile-a slightly unpredictable event- was the time of greatest fertility for Egypt. As the banks rose, the water would fill the man-made canals and canal basins and would water the crops for the coming year. However, if the inundation was even twenty inches above or below normal, it could have massive consequences upon the Egyptian agricultural economy. Even with this variability, the Egyptians were able to easily grow tree crops and vegetable gardens in the lower part of the Nile Valley, while at higher elevations, usually near levees, the Nile Valley was sparsely planted. Agricultural crops were not the mainstay of the ancient Egyptian diet. Rather, the Nile supplied a constant influx of fish which were cultivated year around. In addition to fish, water fowl and cattle were also kept by the Egyptians. Flocks of geese were raised from the earliest times and supplied eggs, meat and fat. However, the domestic fowl didn't make its appearance until

Egypt is located in the northern part of Africa; however, it includes the Sinai Peninsula, which is considered part of Southwest Asia. Therefore, Egypt is located in both North Africa and Southwest Asia. Egypt has shorelines on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It borders Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and the Gaza Strip and Palestine to the east. Egypt, covering 1,001,450 square kilometers of land, is about the same size as Texas and New Mexico combined, four times the size of the UK and double that of France. Its longest distance from north to south is 1,024 kilometers, and from east to west is 1,240 kilometers. Egypt's natural boundaries consist of 2,450 kilometers of coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. Egypt is predominantly desert. An area of only 35,000 square kilometers - 3.5 % of the total land area - is cultivated and permanently settled. Most of the country lies within the wide band of desert that stretches from Africa's Atlantic Coast across the continent and into southwest Asia. Egypt's geological history has produced four major physical regions: * the Nile Valley and Delta * the Western Desert (also known as the Libyan Desert) * the Eastern Desert (also known as the Arabian Desert) * the Sinai Peninsula Location: Northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Libya and the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea north of Sudan, and includes the Asian Sinai Peninsula

Egypt is slightly more than three times the size of Mexico and is bordered by Libya on the west, Sudan on the south and on the east by the red Sea and Israel. Geographically speaking Egypt is divided into two separate unequal land areas: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt by the northward flowing Nile River, which is the main identity of Egypt geography. Nile River originates from south of the Mediterranean Sea and flows northward and fans out into the sea front between the cities of Alexandria and Port Said. Apart from the Nile River Valley most of the Egypt's landscape part is arid and sandy desert. Egypt also includes part of Sahara and Libyan Deserts. Lower Egypt stretches from the south of present day Cairo to the Nile Delta at Alexandria city. Where as Upper Egypt is a narrow strip of land that stretches from the modern day Aswan to the south of present Cairo. Nile-the world's longest river is the dominant feature of Egypt geography. The highest lands in Egypt are located in the south and are in a slopping position directed towards the Mediterranean Sea. While some of the mountains, reaching over 8350 feet high, are situated in the south of Sinai Peninsula.

Egypt is privileged to have shorelines at the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. As area, Egypt has the France's double area, having a total area of 1,001,450 sq km, from which only 6,000 sq km represent the water area. Egypt's highest point is represented by Mount Catherine, with 2,629 meters and the lowest point is represented by Qattara Depression with -133 meters. The natural resources of Egypt are constitute from the natural gas, petroleum, talc, zinc, lead, gypsum, asbestos, iron ore, limestone, manganese and phosphates. The irrigated total area is of 32, 460 sq kilometers. The Nil is the unique source of water, the fresh water resources being very limited. Desertification is a issue of the Egypt`s environment as well as the oil pollution that puts in danger the marine habitats, the beaches and the reefs. The industrial effluents, the agricultural pesticides and the raw sewage are the main threats for the water pollution.

Jump to: navigation search The geography of ancient Egypt was dominated, as is today, by the combination of lack of rainfall and the Nile River. The Greek historian Herodotus called Egypt the "gift of the Nile", since the kingdom owed its survival to the annual flooding of the Nile. Contents The Nile Four Divisions Upper Egypt Lower Egypt ... edit The Nile The green is the ancient Egyptian "Black Land", while the gray-white desert is the "Red Land" The Nile River was the only reason that civilization arose in Egypt at all. In the fourth century B.C., the Greek historian Herodotus reported in his Histories that "Egypt is the gift of the Nile." He meant that Egypt received virtually no rain, and so all of its water — for drinking, washing, irrigation of crops and operation of water-wheels — came solely from this one river. Since the headwaters of the Nile are deep in central east Africa, the river flooded annually during the height of Egyptian civilization. Spring snowmelt in the Ethiopian highlands would gradually fill the river, and the Nile would gently rise. Unlike Mesopotamia, where floods were irregular, unpredictable and highly destructive, the Nile washed over its banks to flood stage on a predictable schedule, usually within two or three days of the heliacal rising of the star Sirius in late July. For a period of almost three thousand years, with relatively few interruptions, the ancient Egyptians could count on three months of high waters, from August to early November. The
