About Egypt

Egypt is in north-eastern Africa. Cairo is its capital, and Arabic is the official language. This learning guide uses a small set of checked facts about food, heritage, festivals, puppetry, and population data. It teaches careful English for describing a country: name the source, keep a date with a claim, and do not turn one record into a claim about every person.
