Question

The map shows the nile delta

Answer 1

Cairo is at the top of the delta and you can see the three big pyramids and the sphinx at Giza across the river from Cairo. Just to the right of the delta is the Suez Canal. It is one of the world's largest river deltas, it covers 240 km (150 mi) of Mediterranean coastline from Alexandria in the west to Port Said in the east. The delta is about 160 km (99 mi) in length from north to south. It starts marginally down-river from Cairo. It covers approximately 240 km (150 mi) of shoreline from west to east.
