Quote from Napo93 on a similar question:

"Geography has had a huge impact on the rise and development of ancient Egypt. The most significant feature was the mighty River Nile. Egypt grew around this River, as it is the only major constant source of Fresh water in that area. It served as a highway, enabling the Egyptians to transport people and goods up and down its waters. Its annual floods meant that the ground around it was immensely fertile, and it is for this reason that Egypt became the breadbasket of the Ancient World. It was probably the best farming land in the Mediterranean world - certain the largest amount of good land. Their trade was facilitated by the Nile, and Egyptian wealth grew. The Ancient Pharaohs were enormously wealthy during the Egyptian golden Age, largely thanks to the Nile.

Geography is always influential in determining the rise and fall of cities and civilizations. In Egypt, the presence of the Nile was the most influential element, giving Ancient Egypt all the right ingredients to be a great power."
