Like any other river, it flows downhill. Upper Egypt (south) has very high elevation and the Nile starts in Ethiopia which also has high elevation. The Nile flows down the river into Lower Egypt (north) and into the Mediterranean Sea. To be precise, the Nile starts in Burundi where its headwaters drains North through Rwanda, the Kagera river on the border of Rwanda-Tanzania and Tanzania Uganda, and into Lake Nyanza (a.k.a Victoria) which drains intop the Nile in Uganda

The two tributaries (White and Blue) of the Nile arise in East Africa, and the River Nile proper then flows from the Great Lakes area, and flows northward until flowing into the Mediterranean. So the answer is that the Nile flows south to north.
