Why could it be that crops are around the river Nile?
The river Nile (prior to the construction of the Aswan Dam) used to flood every year, depositing both water and silt on the land near the shore. This was a source of both irrigation and fertilization, by a means that was completely effortless for farmers; it just happened by itself. It was, therefore, very easy to farm in the vicinity of the Nile. Now the Nile is used to generate electricity instead, and does not flood.
