Lower Egypt
This is the northern part of the country, from the Mediterranean coast and the Nile Delta to the region south of Cairo, which, for tourism purposes, can also be associated with the area further south corresponding to Middle Egypt.
Upper Egypt
Upper Egypt is the southernmost part of the country, starting above Luxor and ending at the Sudanese border. This is where you can discover some of the country's most beautiful archaeological sites (Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple, Karnak, etc.).
Sinai
This vast triangular peninsula of about 60,000 km² lies between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Its mountainous southern part is home to Mount Catherine, the country's highest peak at 2,642 m. Along its southeastern coast, you'll find some of the country's main seaside resorts, such as Sharm el-Sheikh or Nuweiba.
