      Introducing Egypt

      When many people think of Egypt, they think of things like mummies, pyramids, hieroglyphics, the Sphinx, Pharaohs, King Tut, and the Nile River.

      These are all important parts of this ancient country, but the country is also so much more. Egypt’s Nile River has fed people for centuries, providing papyrus, the world’s first paper, and also the first agriculture. Built in 1970, the Aswan Dam remains an important and controversial engineering feat.

      Languages of Egypt

      The official name of Egypt is the Arab Republic of Egypt. In Arabic it is called Jumhuriyat Misr al-Arabiyah or Misr for short. Although English, French, and German are widely spoken in Egypt, Arabic is the official language. Many Egyptians also speak a language known as Egyptian Arabic.

      Egypt is very important politically. It was the first Arab country to make peace with neighboring Israel. This makes Egypt a valuable friend to countries throughout the world, including the United States.

      Visiting Egypt

      Located in northern Africa, Egypt is 384,345 square miles (995,450 square kilometers) in size. That’s bigger than the state of Texas, but not quite as big as Alaska. Tourism is the country’s largest source of foreign money. For centuries people have flocked to this country to see the pyramids and other ancient artifacts.

      How to say...

      Salaam is the Arabic word for peace. It is often used as a greeting.

      The Nile River has always been essential to Egypt’s growth.
