Upper Egypt
Upper Egypt (Arabic: صعيد مصر, romanized: Ṣaʿīd Miṣr, shortened to الصعيد, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [es.sˤe.ˈʕiːd], locally: [es.sˤɑ.ˈʕiːd]) is the southern portion of Egypt and is composed of the Nile River valley south of the Nile Delta and the 30th parallel North. It thus starts at Beni Suef and stretches down to the First Cataract preceding Lake Nasser (formed by the Aswan High Dam). The highest rates of poverty and illiteracy are found in Upper Egypt, according to international organizations.
