Egypt, the land of pharaohs and pyramids, is the subject of interest to historians, archeologists, cartographers, adventurers and travelers. Situated in North Africa, Egypt, officially called the Arab Republic of Egypt, is one of the most important countries in Africa with respect to its attractions, politics, economy and people. Home to approximately 78 million people (according to 2007 census), Egypt is strategically located near some of the other important African nations. Flanked by Sudan in the south, Libya in the west, and Gaza and Israel in the east, Egypt enjoys political relations with all these countries. Egypt also shares borders with the Mediterranean Sea in the north and Red Sea in the east.

The most important contributor towards the rise of the Egyptian civilization is the River Nile. Nile is the source of sustenance for the people of Egypt. As the political map of ancient Egypt would have it, all the major cities in Egypt have originated along the banks of the River Nile. The total land area of Egypt is 1,001,405 square kilometers out of which only 40,000 square kilometers of land which is situated along the banks of Nile is arable. It can be well understood from this data that the importance of Nile in Egypt is immense from agricultural and economic point of view. The urban population of Egypt is concentrated near the Nile River. About a half of the total population of the country reside in the cities situated along the Nile such as Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan.
