Egypt is a historically rich country in North Africa, best known for being the cradle of one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Home to the iconic pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the ancient temples of Luxor and Karnak, Egypt's legacy stretches back thousands of years to the time of the pharaohs. The Nile River, the longest river in the world, flows through the heart of Egypt, providing life to its people and land for millennia. Today, Egypt is a vibrant nation that blends ancient heritage with modern development. Its capital, Cairo, is a bustling metropolis filled with cultural landmarks, markets, and museums. With its strategic location, historical importance, and unique blend of Arab, African, and Mediterranean influences, Egypt continues to be a key player in regional and global affairs.
