This map below shows more of the physical features that Egypt has to offer, as well as color coordinates the different regions. This isn't the best map of all the physical features, but it does show the main geographical features of Egypt. The mountains and plateau's such as the Lybian Plateau, Jilf al Kabir Plateau. As you can see, the Arabian Desert is located on the Eastern part of Egypt as the Western desert is located towards the West. The two main seas that border Egypt are the Mediterranean Sea located North of Egypt, and the Red Sea which parts Saudi Arabia from Egypt. The Nile river runs through the Eastern part of Egypt, as Lake Nasser is located near Upper Egypt, not too far from Sudan. Although over the years Egypt has had many lakes and some have vanished.
