Lake Nassar, the largest lake in Egypt can be observed on the map in southeastern Egypt. It is man-made and was created when the Aswan dam was constructed, then finished in 1970. The 2,642 m high Mount Catherine in the Sinai Peninsula is the highest point in Egypt. The lowest point of Egypt is the Qattara Depression at -436 ft (-133 m). As a schooler growing up in Marion, the epitome of being cool is if you knew somebody that had Led Zeppelin in their music collection, or in my case one of my friend's older brother that had the first two (but oddly not the third).

The transcontinental country of Egypt covers an area of 1,010,408 sq. km. As observed on the physical map above, Egypt is largely covered by desert with the Nile River running south to north through the middle of the eastern half of the country to drain into the Mediterranean Sea. The river stretches from Lake Nasser in southern Egypt and runs through a narrow valley with bordering cliffs to enter Cairo where it spreads out to finally form a delta at its mouth. The Nile is called the lifeline of Egypt. Around 98% of the country's population resides in the Nile River Valley.

As observed on the map, most of Egypt is in Africa while a part of it, the Sinai Peninsula, acts as the land bridge between Africa and Asia. The Mediterranean and the Red Sea are connected through the man-made Suez Canal with the Sinai Peninsula lying to the east of this canal.
On both sides of the Nile River Valley are vast stretches of desert designated as the Eastern Desert and the Western Desert.
In the far southwest, the land rises into the Gilf Kebir Plateau, with elevations near 609 m. Sandstone plateaus front the Nile and the Red Sea, with cliffs as high as 548 m. In the far southeast, the Red Sea Mountains, an extension of the Ethiopian Highlands, continue into Sudan.
