Yes. Acid rain and the resulting increase in the acidity of the soil in Egypt is becoming an increasing problem as the population of Egypt skyrockets. Please read the Related Link which discusses this a little more.
Many social studies and environmental textbooks like to discuss how Egyptian monuments which survived without major eroision for millenia but have suffered incredible erosion in less than two centuries in Europe or the United States. They then blame acid rain for the erosion. While it is true that acid rain is responsible for the damage, there are two problems with this argument: (1) Since Egypt has far less precipitation per year than Europe or the US, there is less acid rain that would ruin the Egyptian monuments in Egypt and (2) the phenomenon of acid rain started with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, so the monuments in Egypt were not exposed to acid rain for millenia, but only a few centuries, just like those in the Europe or the US.
