The Arab Republic of Egypt, commonly known as Egypt, (in Arabic: ???, romanized Mi?r or Ma?r, in Egyptian dialect) is a republic mostly located in North-Eastern Africa.

Covering an area of about 1,020,000 km² Egypt includes the Sinai Peninsula (considered part of Southwest Asia), while the majority of the country is located in North Africa. It shares land borders with Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, Israel to the northeast. It is bordered to the north and east by the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, respectively.

The vast majority of Egypt's population inhabit the banks of the River Nile (about 40,000 km²).Large areas of land are part of the Sahara Desert and are sparsely inhabited.

Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most stunning ancient monuments, including the Giza Pyramids, the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings: the southern city of Luxor contains a particularly large number of ancient artifacts. Today, Egypt is widely regarded as the main political and cultural centre of the Arab and Middle Eastern regions.
