Detailed explanation-1: -The ancient Egyptians enjoyed many natural barriers. There were deserts to the east and west of the Nile River, and mountains to the south. This isolated the ancient Egyptians and allowed them to develop a truly distinctive culture.
Detailed explanation-2: -The “red land” was the barren desert that protected Egypt on two sides. It acted as a natural barrier from invaders. They used the Nile’s floods to their advantage. Every time the Nile flooded, it deposited silt in the soil, which made the soil great for growing crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ancient Egypt was located in Northeastern Africa and had four clear geographic zones: the Delta, the Western Desert, the Eastern Desert, and the Nile Valley.
Detailed explanation-4: -Apart from the Nile Valley, the majority of Egypt’s landscape is desert, with a few oases scattered about. Winds create prolific sand dunes that peak at more than 30m high. Egypt includes parts of the Sahara Desert and of the Libyan Desert.
