From the Nile River's fertile valley, the world's first great civilization arose in Egypt over 4,000 years ago. Today, Egypt is Africa's second most populous country and its capital Cairo is the largest city in the Middle East and Africa with over 11 million inhabitants. The country is defined by the Nile River, the longest river on Earth, and the vast, surrounding deserts that are home to the nomadic Bedouins. Travelers from around the world are drawn to the awe-inspiring Pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza and relaxing along the beaches of the Sinai Peninsula and Gulf of Aqaba.
