Delta region of Egypt
The Delta region of Egypt, known as the Nile Delta, is a fertile area where the Nile River splits into multiple branches before flowing into the Mediterranean Sea. Covering roughly 240 miles, it is one of the world's largest delta regions. The land is extremely fertile due to rich silt deposited by the river, making it ideal for agriculture, especially cotton, rice, and citrus fruits. This region is densely populated and historically significant, serving as a primary center for Egypt's economy, culture, and civilization development.
