Political and

economic systemEgypt has been an authoritarian government for many years but it recently

became a republic so now people get to elect their representatives.

Because of lack of justice in the authoritarian government there were a

lot of rebels on the Egyptian streets complaining about the government so

they decided to become a republic.

Now the Egyptian government has a mixed economy based on napoleonic

civil law and Islamic religious law.

Government

structure

Even though Egypt is divided

into 27 “governorates” it is

considered a unitary republic

because the central

government controls all

political activities in the 27

governorates. Menu

Economic

activities

Since ancient times Egypt´s major economic activity has been

farming and it still is that´s why this country preforms primary

and maybe secondary economic activities. Egypt may be considered

a developing country because of it´s newly established democratic

government.

Menu

Biomes

95% of Egypt´s land is occupied by the Sahara desert, the rest

of the land is composed by urban areas such as the city of

Cairo. There are other biomes in Egypt that occupy a minority

of the country, for example swamps that are near the Nile

river.

Urbanization and

rural areas

As you can see in the picture in the

background most of the cities in Egypt

are located near the Nile river which

leaves Egypt with rural areas in places

away from the river. Many of Egypt´s

cities have been there for a while and

few new cities have developed which

tells us that Egypt is not in an

urbanization process.Menu

Animal and

plant life

Animals

have been

a big influence

in Egyptian culture

since ancient times, they

even believed that some of

them were gods.

Egypt is home of many kids of

animals and plants.
