Uploader comment: The fan-shaped Nile River Delta and the long Nile River Valley are verdantly green, fertile areas and contrast dramatically with the surrounding arid landscape. Comprising only 5 percent of Egypt’s total land area, this green ribbon provides a home to about 97 percent of the 83 million people who reside in the country.
