Introduction

I chose Egypt because I like its history. It has beautiful sights and tourists are there almost every day taking pictures and note taking about its history. Egypt's population is above 85,294,388. The capital city of Egypt is Cairo and most of the Egyptians speak Arabic. Most of them have a Islamic religion.

Geography

I know that west of Egypt is Libya, On the north is the Mediterranean Sea , On the east is Israel and south is Sudan. The river Nile flows through the two deserts. It flows toward the Mediterranean Sea. Gebal Katrina , also known as Mount Catherine, is the tallest mountain in Egypt. It is 2642 meters in height. The River Nile is led to the delta that leads to several cities.

Most of the mountains are in Eastern Egypt and most of Egypt's beaches are there too.

Climate

In Egypt as some people say the weather there is hot. Its true! The climate there, is extremely hot . In the northern part of Egypt it barely rains. The rain fall is only 2.5 cm. The summer average temperature is 50’0 Celsius and the winter average temperature is 9’0 Celsius. Its hot in summer because it is attached to the Sahara desert which is one of the hottest deserts in the world.

Climate chart

CultureIn Egypt half of the people are Muslim. Egyptians celebrate the holiday Ramadan once a year. From four in the morning till sundown they cant eat or drink a thing. They usually eat with friends and family. When Ramadan ends Egyptians celebrate eid al –fitr on that day they give money to poor children and their children to celebrate the day of eid. Kushari is one of Egypt's most famous food, its rare to find it in any other country. Egyptian men like to wear cotton pants and a long shirt called galabbiyah ( ga–li-bee-yah). Egyptian women wear black dresses like a galabiyah and children wear them but in bright colors.

Economy

Egypt struggles difficulties in industry and business. There are a lot of nation. Produced food for the people but now half of their food and materials imported. They imported raw cotton-cement-rubber and a lot of other things. In result Egypt has to borrow money from other countries.

HistoryEgypt is long and rich, because of River Nile flow, with its banks and delta. Its rich history comes from its native in habitats and outside influence Egypt's ancient history was a mystery until the secret the of ancient Egyptian were deciphered with the discovery and help the rosette stone. The Great Pyramid of Iza is the only at the seven wonder of ancient world.
