Egypt covers an area of approximately 1,001,450 sq km (386,662 sq mi) in northeastern Africa, its northern coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, its eastern coastline along the Red Sea and touching the State of Israel in the Sinai. Libya shares its western border, Sudan its southern border.

Egypt is overwhelmingly a desert country bisected by the River Nile. Over 90% of the land area is formed by a convergence of deserts -- the Libyan Desert to the west, the Sahara and Nubian Deserts to the south and the Arabian Desert to the east. There are oases scattered across this wasteland and a swathe of land along the Suez Canal which is cultivated, but it is mainly the land fed by the River Nile -- the Nile valley and the Nile Delta -- that is both habitable and arable.

The Sinai Peninsula is formed of sand desert and spectacular mountains rising as high as 2,637m (8,652ft) above Red Sea level.

Although Egypt is nominally a multi-party democracy with a 454 member People's Assembly and 210 member Advisory Council, the true power of government is held by the President who serves for 6 year terms and exercises wide-ranging powers. The People's Assembly approves the budget, levies taxes, approves government programmes and can censure cabinet members.

The Republic is divided into 26 governates or muhafizat. Cairo is the country's capital city and the seat of government. In 1971 under President Gamal Abdul Nasser a constitution established Egypt as an Arab socialist country. From 1961 the government of Gamel Abdul Nasser banned all existing political parties except for the Arab Socialist Union (ASU) and for 16 years Egypt was ruled as a one party state. The multiparty system was reintroduced by Anwar Sadat in 1977.

The Egyptian judicial system is an amalgam of Islamic, French and English law with a hierarchy of courts descending from the Supreme Constitutional Court down to primary and summary tribunals in each of the country's 26 muhafizat.

Throughout history the Egyptian Nile Valley has been defined as two distinct regions -- Upper Egypt which extends south of Cairo to the Sudanese border, and Lower Egypt, which encompasses the Nile Delta which begins north of Cairo.

Throughout most of the year most of Egypt is hot and dry. Alexandria and the Mediterranean coastal communities experience milder weather while the heat in Cairo and other inland areas is fierce with temperatures rising to as high as 50°C in some parts of the country.

Heavy winter rains fall along the Mediterranean coast but are less frequent in Cairo and in the interior. During the winter months (from November to February), however, temperatures can fall to freezing. The Spring in Egypt is generally mild but plagued by the khamsin, a hot and bitter wind which brings blinding sand and dust storms and heralds the coming of summer.

Islam is constitutionally established as the official religion of Egypt and around 90% of the population are Sunni Muslim with a small minority of Bohra Muslims and other non-Sunni sects represented.

Egypt is one of Islam's most influential intellectual centres. Al Azhar University, the oldest university in the world, graduates Islamic scholars from every Muslim country on earth. The Rector of Al Azhar occupies one of the most important hierarchical positions in the Muslim world and exercises great influence over religious issues of the day.
