Egjipti

Egjipti, also known as Egypt, is a country located primarily in North Africa with the Sinai Peninsula in Asia. It is bordered by Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, and has coastlines along the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the east. The Nile River runs northward through the country, creating a narrow, densely populated valley and delta that support agriculture and settlements. The capital and largest city is Cairo.

Egjipti operates as a republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. Since 2014, the president has been Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The official language is Arabic, with Egyptian Arabic the widely spoken dialect; English and French are common in business and education. The majority of the population is Muslim, with a significant Coptic Christian minority.

Economically, Egjipti has a diversified economy anchored by services, manufacturing, and agriculture. Tourism, anchored by ancient sites such as the Pyramids of Giza, the temples of Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings, remains important. The Suez Canal is a major global shipping route and a key source of national revenue. The currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP).

Egjipti is home to one of the world’s oldest continuous cultures, with a rich heritage that includes ancient monuments, art, and literature. UNESCO World Heritage sites include the Giza pyramid complex and ancient Thebes. Modern Egypt continues to address development, demographics, and regional politics within Africa and the Arab world.
