3. Geography
Without the Nile River, all of Egypt would be
desert. Only about an inch (2.5 centimeters)
of rain falls in Egypt each year. But each
summer, the river rises because of rains at its
source far to the south in Ethiopia. Floods
cover the river's valleys, leaving things
needed for trees, plants, and crops to grow.

5. Culture
• About 90 percent of Egyptians are Muslim, which means
they are followers of the Islam religion. Egypt's population
is growing really quickly. This puts strains on Egypt's
resources, since most people live in a narrow strip of land
along the Nile River. Having so many people in such a
small area is making it too crowded everywhere, from
schools to apartment buildings to hospitals. Children are
highly valued in Egypt, especially in rural areas where they
help on family farms. Children are also expected to look
after their parents in their old age.

6. Government and economy
Egypt's geography, population, history is very eye-catching have made it
highly influential in the region. Egypt is a democratic republic, although some
critics claim that it is not truly democratic. Until 2005, there was never more
than one presidential candidate to vote for. Despite its oil and gas exports,
Egypt's largest single source of foreign income is tourism. Visitors flock to the
country to see ancient monuments like the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.

8. HISTORY
The first people to live on the banks of the Nile were hunters and fishermen, who
settled there over 8,000 years ago. They learned to grow crops and raise animals, and
they began to build villages and towns. They traded with their neighbors and learned
to sail boats. By 3000 B.C., a civilization was establish Around 3100 B.C., the
kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were unified under a powerful king, later
called a pharaoh. These kings built huge pyramids, temples, and other monuments.
They also conquered other lands. By 1000 B.C., Egypt had split into smaller parts
and the kingdom was in decline. Strong neighbors attacked and took over Egyptian
territory. In 31 B.C., Egypt fell under Roman control. In A.D. 640, Muslim warriors
took over Egypt and founded the modern capital, Cairo. They ruled for several
centuries. In 1882, the British invaded and occupied Egypt. The British wanted
control of the Suez Canal, which linked the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea and
greatly shortened the sailing trip from Asia to Europe. The British stayed until Egypt
declared independence in 1952.
