Egypt

Egypt, officially known as the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a country located mostly in North Africa, with part of it extending into Asia through the Sinai Peninsula. This makes it a transcontinental nation. It shares borders with the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Israel and the Gaza Strip to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west. Egypt is also one of the most populated countries in the world, with around 119 million people.

Egypt has one of the oldest histories in the world, with human civilization along the Nile River dating back to around the 6th to 4th millennium BCE. Ancient Egypt is known as one of the earliest centers of civilization, where writing, farming, cities, religion and government first developed. The country also played an important role in early Christianity and later became mainly Islamic from the 7th century onward. The city of Alexandria, once the capital and now the second largest city in Egypt, was once a major center of knowledge, especially famous for its ancient library.
