Blank map of Egypt

Teachers building a unit on Egypt, students making a project poster and anyone putting together a slide about the country often need only its shape, ready to place in their own work. This page has two: Outline only, the shape of Egypt on its own, and With borders, which draws its 27 governorates. Each comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

A governorates quiz and other tasks

With borders is the political blank map of Egypt, with every governorate drawn and none named. Add a number to six of them in your worksheet, perhaps New Valley, Red Sea, North Sinai, Faiyum, Minya and Damietta, and ask pupils to name each one; the list of governorates further down this page is the answer sheet.

For younger pupils, Outline only makes a first map of their own: they colour the land, write Egypt across it in large letters and add a small key in one corner. Older pupils can work on With borders with an atlas open: mark Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, Ismailia and Port Said, then shade the governorate each city stands in.

On a slide or in a design

In a history or travel presentation, put the PNG on a dark slide. The background is transparent, so only the outline shows, and a title or three short points can sit beside it. Designers can open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, where the outline scales to poster size without blurring and the governorate lines take any colour or weight.

Choosing the file

Take the PNG for a worksheet in a word processor and for slides, the SVG for design work and the PDF when you want Egypt on A4 or Letter exactly as it is drawn here. If the sheet needs names, cities pinned or a title, Customise this map opens the same outline in the editor. For black-and-white copies of a class set, go to the printable map of Egypt.
