Egypt, a country in northeastern Africa and southwestern Asia, is bounded by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast; Sudan to the south; and Libya to the west. Its eastern coastline is shaped by the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. The Gulf of Aqaba, situated to the east of Egypt, acts as a natural border with Jordan. Egypt's significant geopolitical role can be attributed to its strategic position: a transcontinental nation, it holds a land bridge, the Isthmus of Suez, connecting Africa and Asia, with a navigable waterway, the Suez Canal, linking the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea.
