This month the final Friday of the month (when we traditionally play #fridaygeotrivia ) falls on the 26th, which, due to family holiday commitments, is not convenient for geo trivia. So we will take a holiday break this month.

It's been too long since our last #geoweirdness thread, so today we turn our attention to Egypt 🇪🇬, a land known for its pyramids, pharaohs, and great civilizations.

The holiday season is a time for traditions, and one tradition we are very proud of is our annual (8th year in a row 💪) end of year donation to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.
