Authority. "Egypt is located in the northeastern corner of
Africa and covers an area of 386,000 square miles. Only about 5% of the
country is inhabited along the banks of the Nile whose course stretches
over 900 miles from the Mediterranean in the North to the Sudan in the
South. To the West lies Libya and to the East are the desert plateau, Red
Sea and Sinai. Egypt's most fertile area is the Nile Delta. Cairo, Egypt's
capital, has 16 million inhabitants, and Alexandria, the country's second
largest city, has a population of 5.5 million...
...In 2003, Egypt's population totaled. 70 million. About 90% of
Egyptians are concentrated in the fertile Nile Delta and live in 5% of the
country's territory - 44% in urban areas and most in some 4,000 villages.
However, during the past few years, there has been an urban migration. The
Egyptians are outgoing, warm and have a distinct sense of humor. They have
respect and a liking for foreigners, and a deep sense of tolerance for
other races, religions and nationalities..."
