The terrain of Egypt can be divided into the following four parts: the Nile River Basin and Nile Delta, the Western Desert, the Eastern Desert and the Sinai Peninsula. The origin of ancient Egypt lies in the Nile Valley. As the great ancient Greek historian Herodotus said, "Egypt is the gift of the Nile." The area has a pleasant climate, with a subtropical Mediterranean climate and a relatively mild climate. The average temperature in winter is 9-19°C, and in summer the average temperature is 22-34°C, making it suitable for people of all ages to travel.
