 Egypt
is one of the most populous countries in Africa. The
great majority of its estimated 78 million people (2007)
live near the banks of the Nile River in an area of
about 40,000 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi) where the
only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas
of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half
of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the
majority spread across the densely populated centres of
greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the
Nile Delta.1
