Egypt image graphic with flagKnown as مِصر‎ (Miṣr) in the Arabic language, EGYPT is a well-known, predominantly Muslim country located in North Africa. Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea along its northern coast, and of course this country is known for its ancient history and structural wonders. The pyramids of Egypt are certainly remarkable architectural feats, and the methods in which ancient Egyptians built them were revolutionary and more efficient than ever before. There are 3 bordering countries: Israel located to the east and northeast, Libya to the west, and Sudan to the south. The capital is Cairo, with more than 10 million residents and growing. The currency is the Egyptian Pound, and its ISO 4217 currency code is EGP.
