Blank Map of Egypt - Blank World Map

From the printable Blank Egypt Map or officially the Arab Republic of Egypt we can check that it is a transcontinental country that covers the northeastern part of Africa and southwestern part of Asia. It is connected by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula which joins the two continents of the world. Different countries that are a neighborhood of Egypt are Jordan that lies across the Gulf of Aqaba, Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey which lies across the Mediterranean Sea, and Saudi Arabia lies across the Red Sea. They all surround the country but none of them share their land border with Egypt. Egypt is bordered by Israel in the northeast and by the Gaza Strip (which remains in the state of political instability because of the Israel-Palestine conflict).

Ancient Egypt was largely Christianity but later on, during the seventh century many Islam followers settled in the country and as a result, it now is a Muslim country with 90% of the population following Islam and minorities were Christian. For more than 1,000 Cairo has been the capital of Egypt but in coming recent years the government of Egypt is planning to build a new capital which is some 45 kilometers from Cairo.
