 Officially in the name of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Egypt is located in North Africa. Egypt is a great power in Africa. Egypt is one of the most powerful countries in the Islamic world. The area covered by Egypt is about 1,010,000 square kilometers. Egypt is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea from the northern side, bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, bordered by the eastern side of the Red Sea, bordered by the southern side of Sudan, and bordered by the western side of Libya. Egypt is one of the busiest countries in the Middle East and Africa

The majority of Egypt's population lives near the banks of the Nile. The area of residence near the banks of the Nile river is about 40,000 square kilometers. A few Egyptian people also live in the Sahara Desert.

Egypt was independent from British rule in 1952. The Egyptian Republic was declared on June 18, 1953.  Led by Major General Mohamed Najib, he is the first president of the Arab Republic of Egypt. But then President Gamal Abdel Nasser came to the presidency in 1954.

The worst part of Egypt's history was in 1967 when Israel occupied Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip during the Six-Day War. The Egyptian army was then able to recover all the land stolen from the Israeli army in the War of October 6, 1973. 

In 1980, President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak came to the presidency of Egypt.  In 2011, Egyptians began their revolt against Hosni Mubarak's rule and were forced to resign. Many Egyptians are participating in this revolution. The protest was widespread on January 25, 2011. The main objective of the protest was to get rid of the regime of President Hosni Mubarak. This protest was supported by many Egyptian peoples as well as the peoples of many countries. The United States has also forced Hosni Mubarak to resign, but he does not want to. On January 29, 2011, it became clear that Hosni Mubarak's regime had lost control of the country. The happiest day in the lives of Egyptians is February 11, 2011, when Hosni Mubarak resigned and went to Cairo. The Egyptian army then took control of the state for a short time.
