Topography: Egypt is
geographically divided into four main
divisions: |
|
The Nile Valley and Delta (
approx. 33,000 Km2 )
|
|
The Western Desert ( approx.
680,000 Km2 ):

it comprises the area bounded by the
Mediterranean to the North.

Climate: The Egyptian climate is
influenced by the factors of location,
topography, and general system for
pressure and water surfaces. These
aspects affect Egypt's climate dividing
it into several regions. Egypt lies in
the dry equatorial region except its
northern areas located within the
moderate warm region with a climate
similar to that of the Mediterranean
region. It is warm and dry in the summer

increasing at the coast in winter. The
annual average day and nighttime
temperatures in Lower and Upper Egypt is
20 and 25, and 7 and 17 respectively. |

water, rain fall and floods in addition
