Egypt: the ancient civilization of the Nile River
Egypt is located in northeastern Africa, the Nile River runs through the whole territory, known as the "cradle of world civilization". Around 3100 BC, the Pharaonic dynasty was established here, creating a brilliant cultural heritage such as hieroglyphics, pyramids, sphinxes, etc. The Luxor Temple and the Abu Simbel Temple still bear witness to its splendor. With Islam as the main religion and Arabic as the official language, Cairo is a center where Arab culture meets the modern city. The Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, is strategically vital, and the economy is dependent on tourism (nearly 10% of GDP), agriculture (Nile Valley oases) and Suez Canal revenues. As the third most populous country in Africa, Egypt plays an influential role in the Arab world and in African affairs, and is uniquely characterized by the collision of ancient civilization and modern development.
