EGYPT!!

This beautiful country is located in North Africa. Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated 82 million live near the banks of the Nile River, which is the second most bigger and larger river in the world. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, like Cairo, Alexandria, etc.

Egypt's economy depends mainly on agriculture, media, petroleum exports, and tourism. Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is the world's 38th-largest country. In terms of land area, it is approximately the same size as all of Central America, Egypt does not receive much rainfall except in the winter months.

I really love Egypt for its culture and the famous monuments. I want to go there one day.

Hi Ana Maria....
well girl I could realize that you know a lot about Egypt I never knew Egypt has so many places to visit and has a different culture from us.
I think that to visit Egypt could be a few complicated because it is so far, could cost much money, and there is different lenguages and cultures. However if you really wanna go it is a good idea but you have to work hard don't leave your dream.
See you goog luck!
