At 1,001,450 square kilometers (386,660 sq mi),[9] Egypt is the world's 38th-largest country. In terms of land area, it is approximately the same size as all of Central America,[10] twice the size of Spain,[11] four times the size of the United Kingdom,[12] and the combined size of the US states of Texas and California.[13]

Egypt is bordered by Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the east.

Towns and cities include Alexandria, one of the greatest ancient cities, Aswan, Asyut, Cairo, the modern Egyptian capital, El-Mahalla El-Kubra, Giza, the site of the Pyramid of Khufu, Hurghada, Luxor, Kom Ombo, Port Safaga, Port Said, Sharm el Sheikh, Suez, where the Suez Canal is located, Zagazig, and Al-Minya.
