  Egypt
Egypt's climate is generally dry, with two seasons: a hot season from May to October and a cool season from November to April.
Egypt's well preserved pyramids and cemeteries on the dry desert, and sturdy stone-built temples, have been studied by archaeologists since the early 19th century, but river-plain town mounds and all sites in densely settled northern Egypt now receive more attention than previously.
Egypt's periodic interludes of disunity were politically disorderly and economically painful in part because inherent problems and contradictions (for example, obvious weakness in "perfect" institutions such as kingship) came to the surface and demanded solutions.

Egypt was still internationally recognised as part of the Ottoman Empire, and just as a decree issued by the Ottoman sultan and Muslim caliph had installed Abbas as the legitimate khedive, only another decree issued by the same authority could depose him.
The former khedive was once again the subject of a clause in the Liability Law of 5 July 1923, in accordance with which he was prohibited from filing suit in an Egyptian court to reclaim the right to dispose of his property.

For 17 years after he was deposed as the khedive of Egypt by British occupation authorities, Abbas Helmi II succumbed to an irresistible urge to regain his throne or any other throne in the Arab region.
It is difficult for the man who has tasted the thrill of power in Egypt, with all the attendant pomp and wealth, to find his title preceded or followed by the epithet "former," all the more so when that man had occupied the highest seat of power in the country.
Furthermore, during the war the former khedive had shown a certain antagonism to France and, in fact, his envoy to Paris at the time had to be arrested because of his hostile activities.

Egypt was an Augustan province so the governors were appointed directly by the Emperor rather than by the traditional Senatorial lottery.
Because of the importance of Egypt as the Empire's breadbasket, by law the governor of Egypt could not be of the Senatorial class (it was feared that consolidating too much power in a Senator invited revolt).
Though their hegemony was short-lived, the Hyksos left a lasting impact on Egypt; they introduced the composite bow, the khopesh sword, the horse and the chariot as well as many Canaanite gods and religious concepts.

That campaign, launched by Ismail, Khedive of Egypt, in the early 1870's, was largely led by Ismail's extraordinary foreign legion of American Civil War officers: some 50 veterans from both the Union and Confederate armies.
Under the command of the khedive's chief of staff, Charles Pomeroy Stone, a disgraced Union general (see Aramco World, January-February 1972) those veterans enlarged, trained and modernized the khedive's army, established schools to educate the soldiers and their sons, and organized the construction of fortifications and coastal defenses.
He did not hesitate, therefore, when the khedive appointed the English soldier of fortune and religious mystic Charles Gordon to be governor of Egypt's Equatoria province in the southern Sudan; eager for action, Chaillé-Long applied for a position on Gordon's staff.

After the opening of the Suez Canal on 16th November, 1869, the affairs of Egypt took on an international aspect, because whoever controlled the country controlled the canal, the use of which was to be free to all nations.
The Khedive now favoured the Sultan at the expense of the British and French, who demanded more control of state affairs, which were deteriorating from bad to worse, until eventually rioting and rebellion broke out in Alexandria, where the Arabs attacked all Europeans.
The army re-embarked and returned to Egypt, leaving a garrison of Marines at Suakin, which was con­tinually attacked though guarded by a ring of landmines.
