Egypt's tourism location advantage

Egypt spans Asia and Africa, and most of it is located in the northeast of Africa. The Sinai Peninsula east of Suez Canal is located in the southwest corner of Asia. It borders Libya to the west and Sudan to the south. The map of East Egypt borders the Red Sea and Palestine in the north, the Mediterranean Sea in the north and Jordan and Saudi Arabia in the southeast, with a coastline of more than 2,700 kilometers. 96% of the territory is desert. The highest peak is Mount Catherine, with an altitude of 2642 meters. The Nile runs through the north and south and flows into the Mediterranean Sea, with a length of 1.530 km, and a narrow valley with a width of about 3 ~ 1.6 km is formed on both banks. A delta of 24,000 square kilometers is formed at the estuary, and 99% of the population lives in river valleys and delta areas, which only occupy 4% of the land area. Suez Canal is the main road connecting Europe, Asia and Africa. The main lakes are Great Bitter Lake, Tinsa Lake and Nasser Reservoir (5,000 square kilometers), the largest artificial lake in Africa formed by Aswan High Dam. The whole territory is dry and rainy, and the Nile Delta and the northern coastal areas belong to the subtropical Mediterranean climate, with an average temperature of 65,438 02℃ in June and 26℃ in July. The average annual precipitation is 50 ~ 200mm. Most of the rest areas have tropical desert climate, which is hot and dry, and the temperature can reach 40℃. The average annual precipitation is less than 50 mm. There is often a Pentecostal wind from April to May every year, which carries sand and damages crops. Most of the territory is located in the low plateau at an altitude of 100-700 meters. There are hills and mountains along the coast of the Red Sea and Sinai Peninsula, and the highest peak is Mount Catherine, which is 2642 meters above sea level. The climate is dry and hot. Except for the Mediterranean coast where the annual rainfall exceeds 100 mm, the annual rainfall in most areas is very small. Desert and semi-desert are widely distributed. The Libyan desert in the west accounts for two-thirds of the country's land area, mostly quicksand, with oases such as Hariji and Siwa in the middle; Eastern Arabian desert, gravel desert and exposed rock mounds. The Nile runs through the north and south, with valleys and deltas on both sides covering an area of more than 40,000 square kilometers, forming a fertile oasis belt. Mineral resources include oil, natural gas, apatite, iron and manganese. Egypt spans Asia and Africa, most of its territory is in Africa, and only a small part of Sinai Peninsula is in Asia. Administratively, it is divided into eight economic zones, each of which includes one or several provinces, and China has 26 provinces. Egypt is located in the transportation hub of Europe, Asia and Africa. It is connected with Europe in the north through the Mediterranean Sea and directly connected with Palestine in the east through Argerich. The Suez Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, and its strategic location and economic significance are very important.

The territory of Egypt is slightly irregular and square. East-west width 1240 km, north-south length 1024 km. The terrain is gentle, there are no mountains, and the desert area accounts for 96% of the total area of the country.

The Nile is the lifeline of Egypt and the "mother of Egypt". It is the longest river in Africa and one of the longest rivers in the world, with a total length of more than 6,670 kilometers. It flows into Egypt from the White Nile, which originated in Uganda, and the Blue Nile, which originated in the Ethiopian Plateau, after meeting in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. It runs through eastern Egypt from south to north, with a length of 1530 km in Egypt. It is indeed an important water resources, with the benefits of boating and irrigation. Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, has developed a splendid ancient culture under the nurturing of the Nile.

According to the differences in natural conditions, Egypt is generally divided into four regions-the Nile Valley and the Nile Delta, the western desert region, the eastern desert region and the Sinai Peninsula region. To the south of Cairo is the Nile Green Corridor, which is about 3~ 16 km wide and is generally called Upper Egypt. North of Cairo is called Lower Egypt. Between Alexandria and Port Said is the alluvial plain of the Nile Delta, covering an area of about 20,000-40,000 square kilometers. In the past, the Nile River flooded regularly every year, bringing fertile alluvium to the delta. It is the birthplace of ancient Egyptian culture, the most important economic activity area in China, where most of Egypt's population is concentrated, and it is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

The western desert west of the Nile is also known as the Libyan desert. It is a part of the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, accounting for about two-thirds of the area of Egypt. Its southern part is 350-500m above sea level, and Dajilev Plateau is about 1 1,000m above sea level. There are many depressions in the middle and north, with Gaitara depression being the largest. The depressions with groundwater form oases.

The eastern desert east of the Nile, also known as the Arabian desert. It is close to the Red Sea coast, the terrain is inclined from east to west, and the Red Sea coast is mountainous, with an altitude of about 1500m.

Sinai Peninsula, east of Suez Canal, is located in southwest Asia, covering an area of about 64,000 square kilometers, accounting for 6.38% of Egypt's area. There are many sand dunes in Sinai Peninsula along the Mediterranean coast, and the northern lowlands are Tih Desert, with intermittent rivers and dry riverbeds. The eastern part is the plateau, and Mount St. Catherine is the highest peak in Egypt, with an altitude of 2637 meters. It is said that it is the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
