In ancient times as (to a lesser extent) today, Egypt could be accurately characterized as a desert-nation if it were not for the life-giving waters of the Nile River. Flooding to a massive extent each year, the 1,900 mile-long river has provided Egyptians with both irrigation and transportation (and trade) benefits for the entire course of the nation's long history.
