I know it was by geography and climate. But what other details can you think of that are different from the Nile river and the Sahara dessert?

fertile soil

Natural environment in Egypt means river and desert. What else can you add--Red and Mediterranean Seas also helped isolate the country? Granite rocks for building? Prevailing winds on river? Cataracts? Wild animals that were worshipped as gods?

The floods allowed water for irrigation and enriched the soil. The Sahara Desert does not have enough water to grow crops and people have to migrate to find food.
