The city of Babylon was built around 2300 B. C. and was inhabited until sometime after the Islamic conquest of Iraq. The modern city of Hillah in Iraq is right next to the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon.

Does the Nile river run through Babylon or not?

No the Nile is in Egypt, far away from Babylon which is in Iraq. The Iraqi Babylon which is the famous city of the Bible, is close to the river Euphrates. However there was a part of the old city of Cairo which was known as Babylon and that would have been quite close to the Nile. It should not be confused with biblical Babylon.
