EGYPT

 The Arab Republic of Egypt occupies the northeastern corner of the African continent and the Sinai Peninsula. It has an area of about 390,540 square miles (1,011,500 square kilometers), including the 23,440 square miles (60,710 square kilometers) of the Sinai. Ninety-nine percent of the Egyptian population lives on only 3.5 percent of the land. Most of them are in the Nile River valley and large, fertile delta of the river. Egypt is bordered on the south by the Republic of the Sudan and on the west by Libya. Its northern coast is on the Mediterranean Sea, and its eastern coasts are on the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, between Sinai and Saudi Arabia. The Gulf of Suez and the Suez Canal separate African Egypt from Sinai. In northern Sinai Egypt’s border with Israel was fixed in 1979 by a peace treaty, though the disputed territory did not return to Egyptian sovereignty until 1982.
