What does upper Egypt and lower Egypt have to do with the flow of the nile river?
"Upper Egypt" is the area of Egypt closest to the Nile's source. "Lower Egypt" is the area of delta where the river flows into the sea. Upper Egypt is South, lower is North.
Why is the Nile Delta area called Lower Egypt?
A river always flows from the highest to lowest elevation, and so Lower Egypt is in the North and Upper Egypt is in the South. It seems backwards, but it does make sense because Lower Egypt has lower elevation than Upper Egypt so the delta empties there. It obviously makes more sense that a river flows downhill instead of uphill.
