Egypt officially the Arab Republic of Egypt is a transcontinental country located mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge into Asia. It’s bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Sudan to the south, Libya to the west, and Israel and the Gaza Strip to the northeast. Its capital and largest city is Cairo.
Egypt is one of the world’s oldest civilizations, dating back over 5,000 years. Ancient Egypt is famous for its pharaohs, pyramids, and hieroglyphs, as well as monumental structures like the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx. The Nile River was the heart of its civilization, providing fertile soil and enabling trade and communication.
Egypt later became part of several empires Greek, Roman, and Ottoman before gaining independence in the 20th century. The 1952 revolution led by Gamal Abdel Nasser transformed Egypt into a republic.
