    • Where is Egypt?

      Egypt is located in Africa.

      Where is Egypt?

      The northern African country of Egypt, officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is the 31st largest in the world by area, at over 1 million square miles. Known for its ancient monuments in the capital, Cairo, the country has an incredibly vast and storied history and a harsh but diverse climate.

      Geography

      From the arid Sahara Desert to the remarkable Nile River, Egypt has a plethora of natural diversity. Located in the northeasternmost corner of Africa, Egypt links the continent with the Middle East by bordering with Israel and the Gaza Strip. It is bordered to the south by Sudan and to the west by Libya. To the north, Egypt meets the Mediterranean Sea and to the east, the Red Sea.

      If not for the Nile River, Egypt would be a vast expanse of desert. Due to this, the longest river in the world at over 4,200 miles long, ancient Egyptians were able to produce crops and make use of fertile land to thrive. Each summer, rainwater from southern countries causes the river to rise and flood the areas used for crops, which adds much-needed sediment and continues to enrich the land.

      Despite this, over 90 percent of the land does remain a part of the Sahara Desert, and with only an average of one inch of rain a year, it can be a harsh environment to survive. Temperatures can swing wildly, sometimes getting as low as 32 degrees at night during the winter. Some animals still make their home here, although many have gone extinct through the combination of overhunting and climate change.

      Some parts of Egypt have mountainous regions, such as the mountains along the Red Sea and in the south and southwest portions of the country.

      Egypt is a very fortuitous country for the distribution of petroleum, natural gas and crude oil, along with iron ore, and phosphates.

      Population

      With a reported population of over 100 million people in 2018, Egypt's population has become one of the most populous countries in Africa or the Middle East. Incidentally, it is booming to the point where resources are strained. Ethnic Egyptians make up a large percentage of the population, but some Turks, Greeks and Bedouins and other minorities also live in the country.

      Egypt has an important and colorful history and is best known for a hierarchy led by the pharaohs. The ancient pyramids are one of the most glorified landmarks in the world, designated initially as tombs for the pharaohs. Ancient Egyptians were very intent on the afterlife and often mummified loved ones and sacred animals as a religious ritual.

      Egypt became a republican nation after 1952 and runs under a semi-presidency, meaning it is run by both a prime minister and a president.

    • Where is Angola?
      • Angola is located in Africa.

      • Angola is a country located in the southern region of Central Africa. Known as the Republic of Angola, the country lies along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded on all sides by land - with the exception of its western border - Angola shares borders with three other African countries: Zambia, Namibia, and the Congo.

      • The latitude and longitude of Angola are 11.2027° S and 17.8739° E, respectively. With a latitude in the south, Angola is located below the equator, in the southern hemisphere. The longitude of Angola shows that the country can be found in the eastern hemisphere of the world.

      • Angola's northernmost point of extremity lies in Caio Bemba. As the 170th most northern point of extremity of all 196 countries, Angola's point is at a latitudinal coordinate of 8°40' W. To the south, Angola extends as far as a latitude of 18°02' S. The country's southernmost point can be found in the Cuando Cubango Province. This part of Angola is very close to the town of Dirico, where Angola and Namibia connect.

      • The easternmost point of Angola is located in the province of Moxico. The longitude of this point is 24°00' E. While it is clear that Angola's extreme point in the east is on the border between Zambia and Angola, the exact location of this point remains unknown. The greatest level of precision that has been discovered so far is that the easternmost point is somewhere along the border's river. With a longitude of 11°40' E, the most western point of Angola is situated on the island of Baia dos Tigres. As number eighty-five on the list of northernmost points ranked by proximity to the North Pole, Angola's most extreme point in the north is part of the Namibe Province.

      • Since populations fluctuate, this number is likely to rise and fall on a daily basis. The total population of Angola, as of 2019, is roughly 31,289,040 people. Angola’s total area is a grand sum of 481,351 square miles. The population density of Angola can be found by dividing the population size by the total area. This value comes to about 65 people per square mile of land.
