Egypt
Egypt's topography is marked by a striking contrast between its arid desert regions and the fertile Nile River Valley. The majority of the country, approximately two-thirds, is covered by the vast Western Desert, characterized by undulating sand dunes, stony plateaus, oases such as Siwa and the Qattara Depression, which reaches a low point of about 436 feet (133 meters) below sea level. This desert region stretches from the Mediterranean coast to the borders with Libya and Sudan, with elevations rising to about 3,300 feet (1,006 meters) in the Al-Jilf al-Kabīr plateau. Central to Egypt's geography is the Nile River, which flows northward through a narrow valley that is flanked by mountains and deserts, creating a lush corridor of cultivable land amidst the surrounding aridity. This valley widens into the Nile Delta, one of the world's largest deltas, which is primarily flat but crisscrossed by canals and lagoons, providing a stark contrast to the dry expanses beyond. Additionally, the Sinai Peninsula to the east features rugged mountains, including Mount Catherine, Egypt's highest peak at 8,625 feet (2,629 meters), further diversifying the country's landscape.
