How to spot Egypt from satellite imagery
The Nile forms a narrow cultivated corridor through arid land before widening into a delta at the Mediterranean coast. In a regional view, the green triangle of the delta contrasts with the surrounding desert. The Sinai Peninsula lies between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba.
Start at the Mediterranean and trace the Nile inland. Compare the width of cultivated land in the delta with the much narrower corridor to the south.
