Egypt
Egypt is a nation occupying the northeastern corner of Africa, the Sinai Peninsula in adjacent Southwest Asia, and some islands in the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea. It is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea on the north, Sudan on the south, the Red Sea and Israel on the east, and Libya on the west. The name 'Egypt' is derived from the Greek word 'Aegyptus', which was taken from the ancient Egyptian term 'Hik up tah' ("House of the Spirit"). The term was used to designate the city of Memphis, Egypt's earliest capital.
