Middle Egypt is the section of land between Lower Egypt (the delta) and Upper Egypt (Nile Valley), stretching upstream from Beni Suef (31° 05' N latitude) in the south to 6th of October Governorate in the north. Ancient Egypt was divided at the time into Lower and Upper Egypt. It was not until the 19th century that archaeologists felt the need to divide Upper Egypt in two. As a result they coined the term "Middle Egypt" for the stretch of river between Cairo and the Qena Bend.
