Egypt is in North Africa. Here's how to tell you've landed in Egypt when Far Fetched drops you there in Street View.

Clues to look for

Desert, the green Nile valley, palm trees and sand-coloured brick buildings. Arabic signs.

Driving side

Cars in Egypt drive on the right. So do Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, which are also in North Africa. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
