and with the roll of
a dice I’m now off to…….
Land of the mummies, pyramids and one of the greatest rivers
on Earth.
I better start reading up on what should be a wonderful
adventure destination.
Let’s start with what Wikipedia has to say J
Egypt is a
country mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge
in Southwest Asia. Egypt is thus a transcontinental country, and a major power
in the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East and the Muslim world. Covering an
area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000 sq mi), Egypt is bordered by
the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast,
the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.
Egypt is one of the
most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of
its over 82.2 million people[4] live near the banks of the Nile River, in an
area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable
land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited.
About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with most spread across
the densely populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major
cities in the Nile Delta.
Monuments in Egypt
such as the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx were constructed by its
ancient civilization. Its ancient ruins, such as those of Memphis, Thebes, and
Karnak and the Valley of the Kings outside Luxor, are a significant focus of
archaeological study. The tourism industry and the Red Sea Riviera employ about
12% of Egypt's workforce.
The economy of Egypt
is one of the most diversified in the Middle East, with sectors such as
tourism, agriculture, industry and service at almost equal production levels.
