Does the Nile river run through Babylon or not?

No the Nile is in Egypt, far away from Babylon which is in Iraq. The Iraqi Babylon which is the famous city of the Bible, is close to the river Euphrates. However there was a part of the old city of Cairo which was known as Babylon and that would have been quite close to the Nile. It should not be confused with biblical Babylon.

What is the difference between upper Egypt and lower Egypt?

"Lower Egypt" is the half of ancient Egypt at the north, or Mediterranean end, including the Nile delta. "Upper Egypt" is the region to the south. The dividing line was south of the present city of Cairo."Lower Egypt" is along the downstream, lower, or northern part of the Nile River, since it flows from south to north. "Upper Egypt" is the southern part, from where the two branches of the Nile (the Blue Nile and White Nile) combine at Khartoum. The two regions were historically separate, with different languages and customs, such that the ancient pharaohs were said to rule the "Two Kingdoms." They were first united around 3050 BC by the pharaoh Menes, beginning the long dynastic period.Upper Egypt was repeatedly conquered by African kingdoms to the south, including the Hyksos and the Kingdom of Kush. The capital of Upper Egypt (from the Cataracts to Cairo) was at Thebes, while the lower had its center at Memphis.Where the river started, loosely, was Upper Egypt, from the Sudan north to Cairo (a very long stretch of miles). Lower Egypt was the lowest part of the river, where the river ended, emptying itself into the Mediterranean Sea, at the Nile River Delta. Lower Egypt was where most of the people were: Everything depended on the Mother Nile. .
