Egypt
The wadi soils, especially east of the Nile, are mostly overgrown with bushes. The largest part of the desert has been further as well as bare.
Typical desert plants are, inter alia, rough grass, tamarisks and dwarf mimosas. Date palms flourish in the Nile Valley and the oases, where one finds the groundwater close to the surface. Moreover, it is virtually only a highly cultivated, where millions of date palms and grow vegetables and grain are grown along the Nile. Here and there are seen still other plants and trees, including fig trees, citrus trees, mangoes, tamarinds, mimosas, cypresses and exotic Australian eucalyptus. For example, color and odor concerns roses, bougainvillea and jasmine.
Along the Nile grows protected papyrus, an ornate cane species and one of the symbols of Egypt.

Red Sea Coral
In the Nile are found about 160 species of fish, the Nile perch Victoria perch is the best known. Overfishing are very large specimens of more than fifty kilos hardly more. They are still found in Lake Nasser in the south of the country. Particularly noteworthy are also lungfish that can survive even in puddles.
In the Sinai Mountains come ibex and leopards rare. Despite the overcrowding, the desert regions here and there intact. Sinai and the Red Sea coast offer some of the best scuba diving in the world.
The Red Sea is warm enough and in some areas shallow enough to allow the growth of corals. Corals are tiny polyps that congregate in colonies. When corals die grow the next generation of on top of it, and in the course of time they develop into fantastic formations. The coral polyps contain namely much lime; they die, then the lime shell remains in the Egyptian underwater world live more than 800 species of beautiful fish. The most common are the yellow clownfish and damselfish, and further, inter alia, the masked butterfly fish, diamond grouper, emperor fish and Napoleon wrasse. At greater depths, various species of sharks (among others, tiger shark, reef shark, gray shark, leopard shark and hammerhead shark), barracudas, moray eels and stingrays.
Furthermore live around coral reefs sponges, sea horses, starfish, shellfish and lobsters. Dangerous species moray eels, stonefish, scorpion fish, sea anemones, sea urchins, sidderroggen, lionfish and fire coral.
Scorpion
In the western desert areas are tourists usually only ants, beetles, flies, fleas, scorpions and sometimes a herd of gazelles against. Yet there are many more wild animals to find: among others, cheetahs, oryx, hyenas, jackals, desert foxes, rats, hedgehogs, hares, mongooses, weasels and several species of snakes. Among the best known venomous snakes include the cobra and the sand viper. Also scorpions are dangerous guests. Across the desert one finds birds of prey, such as the Egyptian vulture and several falcon species. Desert Foxes sleep during the day and leave their burrows only at night. catch them in the dark, insects and small mammals due to their excellent hearing. Oases are an ideal habitat for all kinds of animals, such as the striped hyena, the faraorat and green bee-eater.
Pelican
In Egypt are about 350 bird species. About 150 species stay firm in the country, the rest are migratory birds that fly to eastern Africa, or summer visitors from tropical Africa. When Bardawil Lake Nature Reserve was founded in 1985 Saranik; one of the main stopping places for birds between Africa and Eurasia. There have so far observed 250 species, including the pink pelican, flamingo, blue heron, great egret, bittern, avocet and cormorant. Native species that occur here are the rare lesser kestrel, marbled teal, lapwing and corncrake steppe.
Birds that stand out are spoonbills, storks, herons, pelicans, flamingos, bee-eaters, kingfishers, purple coots and distinctive hop. Rumor is the Egyptian or nile goose that much to see especially in Aswan. Protected birds are the lapwing, osprey, Barbary falcon, hybrid kite and purple heron.
The deserts are home to various types of sand grouse and partridges. Unusual is the collar staircase, a beautiful flightless bird, which, however, not so much through hunting. Ostriches still seems to occur in the Western Desert and in the protected area around Gabal Elba in southeast Egypt.
Ibis, associated with the god Thoth, and frequently depicted in artworks, all disappeared in the 19th century from Egypt.
Large mammals such as lions, elephants, giraffes and hippos (the latter seen in Aswan, 1816) already hundreds to thousands of years no longer in Egypt. Nile crocodiles are only just found in Lake Nasser, Nile monitor lizards are almost extinct.
'Camels'
Camel
The Persia coming Camelus dromedarius, the eenbultige camel or dromedary, is indispensable in Egypt. They are from the Arabic 'Kemalist' commonly called camel.
This giant ungulates have for centuries, until today, the transport of goods and people by the deserts of Africa and the Middle East. The camel has adapted very well in the course of thousands of years to the hard life in the desert.
A third transparent eyelid they can also see during sandstorms. The legs of a camel are so flat that they do not sink into the sands of the desert. The hump on the back contains a lot of fat reserves, and no water as is often thought, so the animals can go many days without food. Furthermore sweating dromedaries and not leave virtually no moisture deal with their feces. They can withstand a higher body temperature and there is less need for cooling. Long rides a camel can lose a third of body weight without water, which he supplements by drinking at one time to 150 liters of water. Furthermore, a camel for the population also a supplier of milk, wool, leather and meat.
Camels first move both legs on one side and then those on the other side. That swinging gait they owe their nickname 'ship of the desert'.
