Italy to Cairo, Egypt and the Red Sea - Israel and Palestine off to the Left #europe #africa #iss

The International Space Station flies over a cloudy Europe. You can see the boot of Italy and Greece, before passing over the Mediterranean Sea on its way to Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt along the Nile Delta. Israel and the West bank can be spotted off to the left and Saudi Arabia borders the Red Sea as we make a pass overhead. All of the city lights throughout Egypt map the Nile River as it is the most habitable place amongst the deserts of Egypt. Over 100 million people live among each other near the Nile.
