               Egypt's coastline, which stretches over 3,500 kilometers along the Mediterranean and Red Seas, is vulnerable to coastal erosion caused by a combination of natural processes and human activity. Natural processes such as wave action, tidal currents, and sediment movement all play important roles in forming the coastal environment. However, manmade causes increase erosion hazards. Infrastructure development, such as ports, resorts, and coastal roads, disturbs natural sediment flow and changes coastal dynamics. Over-extraction of groundwater limits sediment supply to coastal regions, speeding increasing erosion rates. Climate change adds another layer of complication, as rising sea levels and shifting weather patterns exacerbate erosion threats. Increased storm severity and frequency are likely to increase coastal erosion occurrences, especially in sensitive regions such as Alexandria and other coastal cities.      ...

               Egypt's unique geographical and climatic qualities expose it to a number of dangers linked with extreme weather occurrences. Despite being mostly dry and desert-like, the country is vulnerable to catastrophic weather events that can have serious consequences for its population and infrastructure. Extreme heatwaves are a major concern, especially during the summer months when temperatures can reach hazardous levels. High temperatures endanger health, strain energy resources, and worsen water shortage concerns, particularly in metropolitan areas where cooling systems are in high demand. Water shortage and drought pose another big problem to Egypt. The country depends significantly on the Nile River for freshwater supplies, rendering it sensitive to changes in precipitation patterns and upstream water management policies. Drought conditions can result in reduced water availability, crop failures, and economic losses, worsening foo...
