 The Arab Republic of Egypt is in north Africa on the Mediterrean coast, between Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, the Red Sea on the east and the Gaza Strip on the Asian Sinai Peninsula to Israel on the northeast. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural center of the Middle East and noted for some of the world's most ancient and important monuments - Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza, Luxor with the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings along the Nile River.
Egypt is on the plateau of the Sahara Desert, interrupted by Nile valley and delta. The land along the Nile River is the only arable land and Egypt's population is presently and historically concentrated along the Nile. Cairo, the capital of Egypt and its most populous city (also Africa's largest city), along with Alexandria in the Nile Delta, are ancient cities with rich histories.

| “Your fearful form is the work of the deathless gods. To spare the flat and fertile lands they placed you in their depression. A rocky island from which they banished the sand. They place you as a neighbor to the pyramids... Who vigilantly watches the blessed Osiris...” Inscription from m the second century A.D. |

It produced some of the greatest rulers of all time, and it left behind some of the most impressive monuments ever built — including the world-famous pyramids the Egyptians constructed as tombs for their leaders. ...

Egypt – Approximately 5,000 years ago, one of the world's first and most important civilizations spring up in northeastrn Africa, centerd on the Nile River. The Nile was important for many reasons. Not only was it the central transportation route in the region, but it also overflowed its banks every year, leaving dark soil perfect for growing crops and raising animals. In fact, the people called their land "Kemet," which means "Black Land." We know this civilization as ancient Egypt.

Anwar Sadat & Menachem Begin Poster
Poster Text: Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin shared the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to solve one of the oldest and most difficult problems in the world: the conflict between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East. Tensions between these groups grew worse when at separate state for the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, was created in 1948 from the Arab state of Palestine. The Arabs immediately attacked the new nation of Israel. And Israel and the Arab nations, including Egypt, became bitter enemies. In the years that followed, Israelis and Arabs fought several brief but violent wars. The Arab countries were determined to destroy Israel, and the Israelis fought back aggressively.
Anwar Sadat was on Egyptian military office who took part in efforts to overthrow hsi nations government in the 1940s. Later he became Egypt's Vice President under Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. When Mr. Nasser died in 1970, Mr. Sadat took over. He called for Israel to return land it had taken from Egypt in a 1967 war. But in 1977, President Sadat began discussions with Israeli leader Menachem Begin about ways to end the conflict between their two nations.
Mr. Begin was one of many people who fought during the 1930s and 1940s for the creation of Israel. After Israel was formed, Mr. Begin served in the Israeli Parliament which is called the Knesset. He became the Prime Minister of Israel in 1977.
Together with U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Mr. Sadat and Mr. Begin met for peace talks. The talks resulted in an agreement that called for Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip. It als called for a formal peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. And it said Israel must take steps to give Palestinian Arabs in the West region their own government. The agreement, which became known as the Camp David Accords, won Mr. Sadat and Mr. Begin the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sadly President Sadat was killed in 1981 by Arabs opposed to peace with Israel. And after Mr. Begin resigned as Prime Minister in 1983, he took little part in Israeli politics. He died in 1992.
Even though some parts of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty have not been fulfilled, the agreement was an important first step toward peace in the Middle East.
