Egypt Map Project

Egypt Map Project DUE DATE: __________ Part 1: On your blank map of Egypt, you need to label the all of the geographical features and places below. When labeling, be sure that I can read your writing. If you are labeling a city, you will need to draw the dot, showing where the city is located, in the right spot. When labeling the cataracts, you will need to draw a small line across the Nile River, to show exactly where the cataract is located. Use pgs. 69 and 79 in your SS book to help you with your map. Nile River Red Sea Upper Egypt Lower Nubia Thebes Kerma 3rd cataract 6th cataract

Persian Gulf White Nile Lower Egypt Memphis Meroe 1st cataract 4th cataract

Mediterranean Sea Blue Nile Upper Nubia Giza Napata 2nd cataract 5th cataract
