Egypt is in north-eastern Africa with its capital located in its largest city, Cairo. Egypt also extends into Asia by virtue of holding the Sinai Peninsular.Furthermore, Egypt is bordered by Israel and the Gaza Strip to the north-east by Sudan to the south and by Libya to the west.Egypt is perhaps best known as the home of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with its temples, hieroglyphs, mummies, and - visible above all - its pyramids.
