The 'black land' called 'kemet' by the Egyptians, was fertile land on the banks of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians used this land for growing their crops. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed because a layer of rich, black silt was deposited there every year after the Nile flooded.
The 'red land' was the barren desert that protected Egypt on two sides. These deserts separated ancient Egypt from neighbouring countries and invading armies. They also provided the ancient Egyptians with a source for precious metals and semi-precious stones. The Egyptians called the red land 'desret' (that's not a typo).

What was the Red Land and the Black Land of Egypt?
The Nile River rose in the summer from rains in Central Africa, crested in Egypt in September and October, and left a deposit of silt that enriched the soil. The Egyptians called this fertile land the "Black Land". Beyond these narrow strips of fertile land lay the deserts (the "Red Land"). So basically, the Black Land is a dark-colored, fertile, silt-covered area where crops grew densely, and the Red Land is just the dry, sandy desert that was beyond the Black Land.
