What are the features of the economic activities of the ancient Egyptians?

The main occupation of this ancient people was agriculture. Despite the fact that the climate in Egypt was hot and dry, the land here was quite fertile. This allowed the ancient Egyptians to reap large harvests. This was also facilitated by the large Nile River, which played a very important role for ancient farmers. River waters were often used to irrigate fields during dry periods so the Egyptians could preserve their crops.
