The Arab Republic of Egypt is a trans continental country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East. The country is however mostly located in Northeast Africa. It is bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, the Red Sea to the east and south, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west. Egypt is quite a popular country, and with good reason. Ancient Egypt is one of the earliest and greatest civilizations of all time, known to have made giant strides and complex discoveries even in such ancient times. Egyptian monuments and symbols are still matters of great mystery, interest, and relevance today. The country has its capital in Cairo which is the largest city in Africa and the Middle East.

The country's climate varies from extremely hot in the summer to really cold in the winter. The winter (December to March) is cool, windy, and humid with occasional rainfall. Sometimes, it gets so cold that snow may even be sighted. Summer is from June to September when the country is very dry with extremely hot temperatures. The shoulder seasons (April to May, October to November) are the most pleasant months to travel to Egypt. Visitors in Egypt should dress moderately wearing trousers or long skirts, preferably loose fitting because of the heat.
