Everyday life in Egypt

Climate: Egypt has a very hot, dry climate.  Egypt only has two seasons in the year.  The seasons are very hot summers and very mild (not so cold) winters.  Summers usually last from May to October and the average temperature is 95 degrees Fahrenheit.  This was probably the reason that the ancient Egyptians’ houses were made with open windows that didn't have any glass, so the air could flow though the windows.


Religion:The majority religion of Egypt is Islam, of which the Sunnis are the largest sect. According to official estimates, 90% of the population are Muslim and 8 to 10% are Christian. 


Government: Egypt has a Republic style government with an executive, legislative and judicial branch.
