fertile Nile River Valley, including
Giza's Pyramids and Great Sphinx as
well as Luxor's Karnak Temple and

Ottoman landmarks like Muhammad

Egypt are Christians
The flooding of the Nile River brought fertile soil to Egypt.
•Egypt’s best farmland is located in the Nile Delta.
•Besides the Nile River, the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Sahara Desert on
either side of Egypt provided a natural barrier to protect Egypt from invasions.
•The Nile river was a “gift” to Egypt because it provided fertile soil to allow for good
farming and also provided water for drinking, food, and transportation.
Importance of the Nile River

pharaohs the same as the
gods

the Pyramids of Giza are one of the world's most recognizable
landmarks.
• Built as tombs for the mighty Pharaohs and guarded by the
enigmatic Sphinx, Giza's pyramid complex has awed travelers
down through the ages and had archaeologists (and a fair few
conspiracy theorists) scratching their heads over how they were
built for centuries.
• Today, these memorials to dead kings are still as wondrous a
sight as they ever were. An undeniable highlight of any Egypt
trip, Giza's pyramids should not be missed.
• Plenty of smiles and waves
wherever you went.

earth.
