Most people know it is in Africa. Egypt is mostly in Africa and is generally considered to be an African country, but a small part of it is in Asia. This is where some confusion may arise. Most of the Middle East is in Asia, but Egypt is often talked about as being a Middle Eastern country, which is another reason why some people may think it is in Asia.
