The Nile was like a highway because you could easily trade between upper and lower Egypt on the newly invented boats. It is also very fertile, allowing stops along the way. It was the best and fastest way to travel back then.

The Nile was the superhighway of the ancient world because it was a large navigable river that cut through all of Egypt and allowed the Egyptians access to the Mediterranean as well as other African countries (Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda etc.). The Egyptian were able to easily traverse the Nile and trade with these different regions.
