Egypt is in northeast Africa with a small portion of the country on the Asian continent. The country borders the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea and controls the Suez Canal. The famed Nile river cuts vertically across Egypt, flowing towards the Mediterranean. Because most of Egypt’s territory is desert, a majority of its 104,258,327 locals lives either along the Nile or in the Nile Delta. Egypt’s latest recorded GDP is USD 404.14 billion and is growing at 3.3% annually. The unemployment rate is 9.3%. Egypt’s major exports are oil, chemicals, agricultural products, livestock, and textiles.
