Flag of Egypt Button

This design features the national flag of Egypt (officially the Arab Republic of Egypt), which is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is a Mediterranean country, and it is bordered by the Gaza Strip (Palestine) and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west. Across the Gulf of Aqaba lies Jordan, across the Red Sea lies Saudi Arabia, and across the Mediterranean lie Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, although none shares a land border with Egypt. The capital city of Egypt is Cairo; other major cities in Egypt are Alexandria, Giza, Shubra El Kheima, Port Said, Suez and Mansoura.
