Egypt, satellite image
Egypt, satellite image. North is at top. Egypt is the most northeastern country in Africa. It borders Libya to the west, Sudan to the south and Israel and the Gaza Strip to the northeast (all shaded). The majority of Egypts population live in the fertile areas surrounding the River Nile, whilst much of the west of the country is empty desert. The Nile flows from the south through Egypt into the Mediterranean at the Nile Delta (top). Cairo, Egypts capital city is situated on the Nile immediately south of its Delta. Due east of Cairo is Suez at the mouth of the Suez Canal. This canal provides the trade route that link the Mediterranean with the Red sea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the stunning geography of Egypt, a country located in the northeastern region of Africa. With its northernmost point at the top, Egypt shares borders with Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and Israel along with the Gaza Strip to the northeast (highlighted in shading). The print beautifully captures how Egypt's population predominantly resides in fertile areas surrounding the iconic River Nile while vast stretches of desert dominate much of its western regions. The majestic Nile River flows from south to north through Egypt until it reaches its grand finale at the Nile Delta on top. Cairo, Egypt's bustling capital city, is strategically positioned on this mighty river just below its delta. Moving eastward from Cairo lies Suez, situated at the mouth of one of humanity's most significant trade routes -the Suez Canal. This canal serves as a vital link connecting Mediterranean waters with those of Red Sea. With an arid climate prevailing throughout much of this nation, Egypt boasts remarkable landscapes that include both dry desert expanses like Sahara and breathtaking coastal views along Red Sea shores. This awe-inspiring satellite image offers a glimpse into Earth's diverse topography while highlighting key geographical features such as rivers and deltas. Courtesy: Science Photo Library
