This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product River Nile Delta and Suez Canal, Egypt, satellite image. North is at top. Vegetation is red and the barren land of the Sahara Desert to the east is yellow. The delta of the River Nile is intensively farmed due to the rich and fertile sediment deposited by the river as it reaches the Mediterranean Sea. At centre, the Suez Canal, with Port Said at its northern end, connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Image acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite on 2 August 2017.
