Egypt occupies an area of 1,010,408 square kilometers (390,121 sq mi), which is the 12th largest in Africa. This makes the country’s total area slightly smaller than Mauritania and larger than Tanzania.

The longest river in the world, the Nile River, flows northward through Egypt for about 750 miles (1,200 km). When it terminates at the Mediterranean Sea, it spreads out and forms the triangular-shaped Nile Delta. This area is home to 40% of its population (around 95 million people) and its fertile land is completely covered with farming and agriculture.
