What are the three parts of egypt?

Egypt is traditionally divided into three main regions: Upper Egypt, Lower Egypt, and the Nile Delta. Upper Egypt is located to the south and is characterized by a narrow strip of land along the Nile River, while Lower Egypt lies to the north and includes the Nile Delta, where the river fans out before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. Each region has distinct geographical and cultural features, contributing to Egypt's rich history and civilization.
