We cannot be entirely sure but many experts believe that their North and South were the same as we use them today.
The ancient Egyptians traveled north to south along the Nile River because the river's current flows from south to north. This made it easier for them to navigate and transport goods. Traveling east to west was more difficult due to the harsh desert landscape, which made it harder to travel and limited the availability of resources.
The Nile River Runs from north to south, so they could ride the river on a boat.
Because on the North and South of Egypt they had boats on the Nile River and there were no major rivers flowing east to west!!

Each other, the Nubians to the south, the desert peoples to the east and west, the Greek, Persians and other Asiatic peoples to the north.
King Narmer was in the time of the ancient Egyptians. He was the ruler of both the north and south sides of Egypt.
Because of where each continent is located. North America is north of the Equator, where air patterns (weather) travel from west to east. South America is south of the Equator, where air patterns travel from east to west. This is also due to the force of gravity on Earth. North of the Equator the Coriolis effect is from west to east, while south of the Equator it is reversed.

The strong northerly winds combined with the southward flow of the river made it difficult for the ancient Egyptians to sail boats laden with goods against the current. This required the use of manpower or animals to pull the boats upstream, slowing down the transport process.
The South
The dominant wind in ancient Egypt typically blew from the north toward the south. This meant that when the Egyptians traveled upriver on the Nile, they could raise their sails to take advantage of these north winds, which helped propel their ships southward against the current of the river.
