Egypt occupies a crossroads between Africa, Europe, and Asia. The majority of its land is in the arid western and eastern deserts, separated by the country’s dominant feature, the Nile River. The Nile forms a flat-bottomed valley, generally 5–10 mi wide, that fans out into the densely populated delta lowlands north of Cairo.
