GEOGRAPHY• Egypt is located in the northeastern
corner of Africa. Rectangular in shape, it covers an area of 386,000 square miles. To the West lie the Western Desert and Libya, and the East is bordered by a desert plateau, Red Sea and Sinai. The Sudan is on Egypt's southern border and to the North lies the Mediterranean. Only about 4 to 5 percent of this vast country is inhabited along the banks of the Nile.

RELIGION• Approximately 85 percent of the
population of Egypt are Moslems. Most of the balance, about 9 million, are Christian Orthodox who belong to the Coptic Church. In most cities in Egypt, mosques and churches can be found next to each other. There are also some synagogues since a small Jewish community still lives in Egypt.
