The River Nile is about 6,670 km (4,160 miles) in length and is the longest river in Africa and in the world. Although it is generally associated with Egypt, only 22% of the Nile's course runs through Egypt.

In Egypt, the River Nile creates a fertile green valley across the desert. It was by the banks of the river that one of the oldest civilizations in the world began. The ancient Egyptians lived and farmed along the Nile, using the soil to produce food for themselves and their animals.

The River Nile is in Africa. It originates in Burundi, south of the equator, and flows northward through northeastern Africa, eventually flowing through Egypt and finally draining into the Mediterranean Sea.

Notice that the land is green on either side of the Nile.

Lake Victoria, Africa's biggest lake, is generally thought of as the source of the River Nile. On the northern edge of the lake, water pours over a waterfall, known as Ripon Falls; into a narrow opening which some people believe is the beginning of the River Nile.

Ripon Falls may be the starting-point of the river, but the many streams that flow into Lake Victoria could claim to be the true source.

Much of Lake Victoria is surrounded by mountains with streams tumbling down into the lake. The largest tributary of Lake Victoria is the Kagera River. The Kagera and its tributary the Ruvubu, with its headwaters in Burundi, is now considered to be the true source of the Nile. It is from here that the Nile is measured as the world's longest river.

The River Nile is formed from the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria and the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. These rivers meet in Sudan and then go on their long journey northwards towards the sea.

The White Nile is a lot bigger than the Blue Nile, but because of losses along the way it only contributes about 15% to the flow of the combined Nile. The Blue Nile, rising in Ethiopia, contributes about 85% to the flow of the Nile that passes through Egypt to the Mediterranean.

Most Egyptians lived near the Nile as it provided water, food, transportation and excellent soil for growing food.

ancient Egypt could not have existed without the river Nile. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, the floods provided the only source of moisture to sustain crops.

Every year, heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian highlands, sent a torrent of water that overflowed the banks of the Nile. When the floods went down it left thick rich mud (black silt) which was excellent soil to plant seeds in after it had been ploughed.

it is the worlds largest river going through little less than half of Egypt!

• thought to be the longest river in the world
• flows through nine countries: Ethiopia, Zaire, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Sudan, Egypt
• produced fertile land
• flows into the Mediterranean Sea
• largest source is Lake Victoria
• average discharge is 3.1 million liters per second

1 - It is over 4,000 miles long 2 - It is the longest river in the world 3 - It is located in Africa 4 - It is formed by the confluence of the Blue and the Whit Niles 5 - It flows into the Mediterranean Sea 6 - The drainage basin 1,256,591 square miles - about 10% of the area of Africa. 7 - The present Nile is at least the fifth river that has flowed north from the Ethiopian Highlands. 8 - The last tributary - the Atbara River - joins it roughly halfway to the sea. 9 - From that point north the Nile diminishes because of evaporation. 10 - The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert.
