Northeast Africa is the site of stunning geographic features. Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the two tallest peaks in Africa, are found here. The Great Rift Valley is a geological marvel and has been the location of many important archaeological finds, such as "Lucy," a 3.2-million-year-old human fossil found in Ethiopia.
The region is also home to some of the most incredible human-made attractions, such as Egypt's Great Pyramids. Current crises, such as famine and civil war, have destabilized parts of this region, but the strength and diversity of its people are enduring despite these obstacles.
