What’s not to like about Egypt, the world’s largest Nile, the second largest desert Sahara, the Pyramids, the Suez Canal, the disputed area, the Sinai Plateau, and much more !? How many secrets are hidden in this desert of Usar, how many famous people do not know it? From the ancient pharaohs, Tutankhamen to Alexander, Cleopatra, Napoleon, the modern-day Nobel Peace Prize winner Anwar Sadat. Who has not ruled this desert? By 3150 BC, the civilization of Upper and Lower Egypt had been consolidated through the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Pharaoh I. This was followed by the development of ancient Egyptian civilization throughout the 3 millennia. An orderly line of pharaohs in the history of ancient Egypt continues. Although there were occasional episodes of political instability at different times. And then there was the gradual decline of Egyptian civilization. In the last period of the history of ancient Egypt, a foreign power took over Egypt. The rule of the Pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when the ancient Roman Empire took over the country and turned it into a Roman province.
Egypt was then ruled one by one by the Roman Ottoman French Arab British. The Roman period was the longest. Part of the source of the success of ancient Egyptian civilization lies in its ability to adapt to the conditions of the Nile Valley. Notable among the many achievements of the ancient Egyptians were the skill of stone quarrying, survey, and construction techniques for building buildings from mines. The result was the creation of historical Egyptian pyramids, temples, Egyptian mathematical systems, a practical and effective medical system, irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, the first shipbuilding, Egyptian porcelain and glass industry, and a new genre of literature.
Then in 1922 Egypt gained nominal independence from the British. Later, in 1948, when the Jews declared a part of Palestine as a state of Israel, Egypt and its Arab allies invaded Israel but were defeated. Egypt became a people's republic in 1953. Nasser wanted to see Egypt as a leading state in the Arab world. From 1958 to 1961, Egypt and Syria united to form a state called the Arab Republic, but it did not last. Nasser was a proponent of Arab socialism. He completed the industrialization of many factories and the Suez Canal from the British. During his rule, there were two more wars between Egypt and Israel.
In 1970, Anwar al-Sadat became president of Egypt. In 1963, Egypt participated in another short-lived war with Israel. In 1986, President Sadat met with then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, mediated by the United States. Following this meeting, a historic peace treaty (Camp David Accord) was concluded between Egypt and Israel in 1969. Egypt withdraws troops from the Gaza Strip and formally recognizes Israel. Most Arab states were unhappy with the agreement. In 1981, Sadat was assassinated by Muslim extremists. Under new President Hosni Mubarak, relations with Egypt and other Arab states have improved. However, Egypt participated in the 1st Persian Gulf War in 1991 as part of a coalition against Iraq.
Unemployment and poverty are on the rise among the country's fastest-growing population. This is especially the case in southern Egypt. The state of modern Egypt is playing an important role in Middle Eastern politics. The current president of the country is Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Despite the rise in poverty, the country's total GDP is now $1.047 trillion, the 34th highest in the world. The country's per capita income is $3750.
