If Egypt had social planners with long term foresight spanning decades, it would be starting to plan moving most of the smaller towns and cities currently in the Nile Valley to the nearby desert wherever possible.

As it is now every bit of land that is gobbled up by urban sprawl is taken from the fertile land of the Nile Valley.

In the modern era there is no need for people to live on the shores of the River.

The climate is the same as the nearby desert.

They are there now due to historical reasons.

As the years have passed Egyptians have had less and less land to farm. This continuing trend is going to soon be coupled with loss of land in the Delta due to rising Sea levels.

Unfortunately Egypt doesn’t seem to be concerned about the rapidly increasing loss of arable land.

Dear sir/madam,
I would beg to differ with the subject of the above article,egypt has never and will never ‘Grab’ any land in any country,Egyptians are peace loving people,full of life,the population may be increasing by the day,but then again,Egypt is a blessed land with 2 seas,a river,rare tourisim,astronomical number of minerals,agriculture,,i can go on forever,but no t any enough space,so we really dont need any more land,we hv oceons of water under our deserts,or we can use appropriate tech to desalinate sea water,or we can just use pure sea water to farm,look at eretria ,or mexico,they practise seawater farming,ple be careful of such heading for your articles,as they can do a lot of damage between nations,thank you&god bless!
