Located in the northwestern corner of the African continent, and with a rich history spanning to the very beginning of human civilization, Egypt is home to a large population, the vast majority of whom live in the Nile Valley and Delta. This population also skews quite young, with nearly 60% under the age of 30. Egypt also faces a variety of development and political challenges, with the 2011 Revolution being the most widely known internationally. Additionally, resource stress (particularly involving water), poverty and regional instability are threats to Egypt’s future.
