The Arab Republic of Egypt is a country situated in the north east of Africa. Its northern border is the Mediterranean Sea, to the east is the Red Sea, to the south is Sudan and to the west Libya. Its capital is Cairo. Egypt was one of the world’s first nation states when it emerged in the tenth millennium BC. The Giza plateau is the oldest of the ancient Wonders of the World, and the only one still in existence. Its modern economy is based largely on tourism.
In 1866, the first Egyptian stamps were issued. In 1922, Great Britain ended its Protectorate over Egypt and Egypt became an independent Republic. After gaining independence, Egypt Post was used. Stamps were labelled “United Arab Republic” or “UAR” from 1959-1971. Before & after these years, the stamps were labelled “Egypt”.
