Upper Egypt

Upper Egypt ((アラビア語:صعيد مصر) ', shortened to ''/''  ) is the strip of land, on both sides of the Nile valley, that extends between Nubia, and downriver (northwards) to Lower Egypt.
==Geography==
Upper Egypt is between the Cataracts of the Nile above modern-day Aswan, downriver (northwards) to the area between Dahshur and El-Ayait, which is south of modern-day Cairo. The northern (downriver) part of Upper Egypt, between Sohag and El-Ayait, is also known as Middle Egypt.
In Arabic, inhabitants of Upper Egypt are known as Sa'idis and they generally speak Sa'idi Arabic.
In Pharaonic times, Upper Egypt was known as ''Ta Shemau''〔Ermann & Grapow, ''op.cit.'' Wb 5, 227.4-14〕 which means "the land of reeds."〔Ermann & Grapow, ''op.cit.'' Wb 4, 477.9-11〕 It was divided into twenty-two districts called nomes.〔''The Encyclopedia Americana'' Grolier Incorporated, 1988, p.34〕 The first nome was roughly where modern-day Aswan is and the twenty-second was at modern Atfih (Aphroditopolis), just to the south of Cairo.
