Egypt is mainly made up of hot deserts Egypt receives little rainfall. Without the Nile River( the longest river in the world), the area would be entirely desert. About 95 % of Egypt’s population still live in the Nile valley (the area next to the Nile river). One of the reasons that Egyptians were able to develop an advanced civilization is because they were surrounded by deserts. This kept invaders out.
