THE NILE
By: Emmanuel Knibb
 Did you know that the Nile river the is called "great
river"
 This is mostly about The one and only The nile River
The Nile
 The Nile is a major north-flowing river in Africa,
generally regarded as the longest river in the world.
The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and
Blue Nile, the latter being the source of most of the
Nile's water and fertile soil, but the former being the
longer of the two.
The White Nile rises in the Great Lakes region of
central Africa, with the most distant source in
southern Rwanda and flows north from there through
Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and southern Sudan,
while the Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana in Ethiopia
flowing into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers
meet near the Sudanese capital Khartoum flowing into
Sudan from the southeast.
 The northern section of the river flows almost entirely
through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country
whose civilization has depended on the river since
ancient times. Most of the population and cities of
Egypt, lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of
Aswan; and nearly all the cultural and historical sites
of Ancient Egypt are found along the banks of the
river. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into
the Mediterranean Sea.
