Egypt has developed as a society on the Nile River. Almost all the other parts of Egypt are arid desert, and are unable to support farming or living, because of their lack of water. 90% of Egypts population lives in the Nile River Delta, and another 5% lives in the Nile River Basin. Much of Egypts economic activity is based in the River Delta, in cities like Alexandria and nearby Cairo. Also, Egypt has an important place that was used for the Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, and by extension Asia and the Middle East. This cut down on the Distance and Time it took to Ship oil and other peterochemicals from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Iran, and Kuwait.
