Egypt is a country located in the northeast of Africa and the southwest of Asia. The capital city is Cairo. Egypt shares borders with the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip, Israel, the Red Sea, Sudan, and Libya. The country is renowned for its rich history, the pyramids, the Nile, and dromedary camels. Egypt has a desert climate, with the best time to visit being from October to April due to the cooler temperatures.
