Map of Egypt

Egypt is located in northeastern Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east. The country's lifeblood is the Nile River, which flows through the desert and connects several of its most important historical sites.

Cairo is located in northern Egypt near Giza and the pyramids, while Luxor and Aswan are further south along the Nile. Hurghada is located on the Red Sea and is one of the country's most famous areas for sun, swimming, snorkeling and vacationing.
