Site astronomer and geographer of the Nile Basin countries and the Horn of Africa.. the diversity of land use and economic resources. Vulnerability to climate psychoactive effects of marine and continental climate

Area: The area of ​​the Nile Basin and the Horn of Africa 4,168,120 km 2 = 4.1 million km 2 and includes: 

A- Nile Basin countries are: 

1- Sudan = 60.1%. 

2- Egypt = 24%. 

B- the Horn of Africa and followed: 

1- Somalia = 15.3%. 

2- Djibouti = 0.6%. 

occupy Egypt and the Sudan, the largest part of the Nile Basin Somalia and Djibouti Vchglan the bulk of the Horn of Africa.

Astronomical Site: 

Spans the region between latitudes: 2 south, 36 and 31 in the north, which it runs in about (33 transverse) also extends between longitudes 22-52 east (longitudinal 30). 

Astronomical significance of the site: 

This shows the importance of: 

1- The Nile Basin and the Horn of Africa, the only region in the Arab World, which runs part of it in the southern hemisphere. 

2- the multiplicity and diversity of climatic regions and breadth of the plant area. 

3- the diversity of land use and economic resources. 

Geographic Location: (characteristics) 

1- is located in the heart of the Arab world and the African and Asian is a connecting link between the two. 

2- spread in the heart of Africa make a link between the Arab states and the countries of Africa. 

3- its geographical location is divided into two parts, namely: 

Section I: 

The states of the Nile Basin, namely: Egypt - Sudan as part of one connected overlooking the Mediterranean in the north and the Red Sea to the east has led to: 

1- linking the region navigational countries across Europe, the Americas, the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar.

3- Front, overlooking the Red Sea cruise on the west, linking the east and west. 

Section II: 

Represented in the states of the Horn of Africa, namely Somalia - Djibouti, where: 

1- overlooking the long coasts of the region at the southern entrance of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean to the east has led to the establishment of important ports such as Kismayo - Mogadishu - Djibouti. 

2- influenced by climatic region psychoactive effects of marine and continental climate.
