Question

What are the main Environmental Issues in Egypt?

Answer 1

The previous answer is wrong about Egypt and oil. The country produces very little oil from wells in the Sinai desert. It is not even a member of OPEC since it does not export oil.

The main environmental issue in Egypt is too many people for too little land and water.

Answer 2

Well they have the nile. which floods. that generally causes issues.

they are mostly desert, and desertification is probably encroaching on what liveable space they have.

also, this is more of a historical problem, but their ancient ruins (pyramids, sphinx, etc) are aging and rapidly decaying (partially due to human-caused pollutants in the air.

thats most of what i can think of.. they are an oil-producing country, contributing highly to global warming, i suppose thats an issue.
