Population distribution is unevenly spread across Egypt, largely embodying a linear structure along the Nile River and culminating at the bird-foot delta in the north leading to the Mediterranean Sea. Deserts to the west and east are quite sparsely populated.
The river provides a consistent source of clean water and feeds arable land nearby, building a fruitful industry of agriculture. The Pyramids of Giza near Cairo are one of the last Wonders of the Ancient World and attract lots of tourists each year. Hot and arid climate year-round deters settlements in the surrounding deserts as it is uncomfortable for human living.

The population is very heavily clustered around the river nile, with the majority of the population living in the river delta in cities like Cairo and Alexandria. Away from the river, population density is extremely low as very few settlements are located there.

The main reason for the uneven distribution is the extreme climate and conditions of the areas that are further in-land, not only is the relief very mountainous in some regions. The lack of available water sources poses a huge obstacle for human settlements, because not only because of the direct affects of the lack of water, but also acquiring necessary goods and services is significantly harder.

The population distribution in Egypt is quite uneven. The population is in a linearcluster, following the river Nile. Most of the settlements are based around the Nile due to them being quite poor therefore the Nile is an ideal water source for them. It is also useful for trade in Egypt. Egypt is a lot of dessert thefore there arent many large settlements outside of the Nile because water sources are scarce.

The population distribution in Egypt is unevenly spread with cities in the North such as Cairo being very densely populated, while cities in the North-West such as Siwa being very sparsely populated.

Reasons:
- Most of the population lives near the banks of the Nile River as it is one of the most fertile areas in the world and provides water for irrigation.
- The Western and Eastern desert has very hot climate making living conditions and agriculture difficult.
- In the North, there is easy access to the Mediterranean for trade.
- Tourist resorts in the Mediterranean coast attracts tourists and creates job opportunities.

How is population distributed?
- Unevenly distributed
- Most of the population is distributed along the Nile
- Clustered at the Nile delta and Cairo Metropolis
- Eastern desert and Western desert is sparsely populated

Reasons for distribution:
- Close water source for irrigation
- Fertile land
- Easy access to Mediterranian for trade
- Climate (Western desert is hot and arid making agriculture difficult)
- Flat relief (for infrastructure)

# data[].attributes.body
Areas of high population in egypt:
- 95% of population cluster around nile and nile delta: less extreme climate, water supply, fertile soil -> e.g. luxor, cairo
- people don't live in desert because of extreme climates and no water
- coast mediterratian: lots of trade routes with other Mediterranean countries, ports&jobs e.g. alexandria
- Tourism creates jobs. moslty at sea resorts and historical sites in cairo metropolis & giza
- fertile soil around nile allows for good agriculture

There's an uneven pattern of population distribution in Egypt. There's a linear pattern along the River Nile (pull factor: fertile land, water source, transportation). There's also a nuclear pattern at the delta of the river Nile (north of Egypt) which is another pull factor because of its fertile land.

# data[].attributes.body
highly concentrated in big cities, Cairo Alexandria and Giza. Also lots of people settled near the river so throughout history there have been lots of people near the nile.
very uneven as the density in cairo is something near 46000 people per km.
climate plays a role, as little to no one has settled in the harsh conditions of the desert.
relief is important as it is quite flat land near the nile so it is easy to settle there compared to the hilly terrain of the deset

There is a linear distribution along the Nile with a nucleated pattern at the river delta towards the Mediterranian sea. The new valley towards the west of the Nile is sparsely populated due to the harsh desert climate whereas towards the east of the Nile there are some settlements along the red sea and the Suez canal due to oil reserves, trade and tourism

# data[].attributes.body
- General pattern is unevenly distributed with a linear cluster along the Nile. Majority of the population is along the river Nile as it gives job opportunities such as fishing and port work.

Areas of lower population are in the Southern reigins of egypt as it is further away from the river and less access to resources

# data[].attributes.body
pop distribution
- clustered and unevenly distributed
- linear settlement pattern along the nile river
- clustered in the nile delta (north)
- cities -> Cairo Alexandria Giza

reasons
dense
- near water source (red sea, nile, Mediterranean)
- trade routes
- fertile soil
- flat relief -> build infrastructure

sparse (western desert)
- harsh climate -> very hot + arrid
- no water source except for oasis

In Egypt, the population is mostly distributed along the delta of the Nile River that goes through cities such as Giza and Cairo. There is a clustered spread of population along the river as there is easy access to the river, job opportunities such as fisheries and port work, there is also very fertile soil near the waters which contributes to the factors of population distribution in Egypt

Areas of lower population distribution are towards the SOuthern of egypt for example in Siwa, Suez etc, as it is further away from the river and less access to resources and trade
