In the course of the Nile in Sudan it flows over 6 groups of cataracts [which are sections of faster-flowing water with many small islands, shallow water and rocks, forming an obstacle to navigation by boats] from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka just north of Khartoum.

Cataracts are rocky areas that are similar to minor waterfalls. They hindered navigation of the Nile, especially during the Ancient Period.
