The Nile River is located on the continent of Africa and consists of two main branches (the White Nile and the Blue Nile), these merge and become one river known simply as the Nile River. The White Nile is the source of most of the Nile's water and fertile soil. The White Nile is the longer of the two rivers.

The source of the White Nile is the Great Lakes area in Rwanda.

The source of the Blue Nile is Lake Tana, Ethiopia in the Ethiopian hill-country.

The White Nile flows from Rwanda, through Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan and then Sudan.

The Blue Nile flows from its source in Ethiopia into south eastern Sudan.

Both the White and Blue Niles travel through Sudan and then merge at Khartoum (where the name changes simply to The Nile River) before traveling north through the rest of Sudan, into Egypt and finally flowing into the Mediterranean Sea at the Nile Delta

So in short the Nile River flows through: Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan and Egypt. To be fair there are also a few smaller, feeder branches that deposit water into the White Nile that have their origins in the Democratic Republic of Congo, although they are not normally considered part of the source. The Blue Nile's source, Lake Tana, is fed by rivers of Eritrea.

Other: Length - 6,650 km (4,130 miles).
Although the Nile is not the largest river in volume, it is one of the longest rivers in the entire world. The Nile runs through the countries of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zaire, Kenya, Eritrea, Tanzania, Rawanda, and Burundi.

It is on the continent of Africa flowing, south to north, over 4,000 miles through a number of countries. The link below is an interactive map.
Egypt because it is acient and the name is from the greek neilos The River Nile flow northwards along the east coast of Africa, running roughly parallel to the Red Sea.
the nile river runs throw egypt and sudan. Portion of the nile also runs through ethiopia,rowanda,and tazania
The Nile River is located on the Continent of Africa it is 4,184 miles long.

The gift[s] of the Nile River.

The Greek historian, Herodotus, coined the phrase that 'Egypt was the gift of the Nile', in his 'An Account of Egypt: Being the Second Book of His Histories Called Euterpe'

Herodotus of Halicarnassus was a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BC (c. 484 BC-c. 425 BC) and is regarded as the "Father of History" in Western culture.

He is cited as writing - That of the Nile 'the river rises of itself, waters the fields, and then sinks back again - thereupon each man sows his field and waits for the harvest.' This was obviously referring to the annual flood.

He also described Egypt as 'A land won by the Egyptians and given them by the Nile.'

So Egypt was the Nile River's gift - because without the Nile there would be no Egypt only desert.

So anything derived from the Nile would also be looked upon as a gift - the water, the floods fertile soil, the fish and the rivers obvious use for transport etc.

The link below provides information and a number of short videos.

Primary source - White Nile

Secondary source - Blue Nile

Source confluence at Khartoum, Sudan

To be accurate, the Nile River consists of two river systems (tributaries) namely the Blue Nile and the White Nile. These two rivers obviously have seperate points of origin. The point of origin for a river is marked at the furthest distance along the entire course. The White and Blue Niles converge at Khartoum (confluence) in Northern Sudan before they flow northwards through Egypt as the Nile River.

The White Nile is by far the longer of the two.

Even today there is still debate as to the EXACT source of the White Nile, as there are many smaller tributatires, streams and lakes as you get closer to the source.

Included below are two "accurate" and referenced sources for the river:

• S. Liu, P. Lu, D. Liu, P. Jin, W. Wang, Pinpointing the sources and measuring the lengths of the principal rivers of the world, International Journal of Digital Earth, Volume 2, Issue 1 March 2009 , pages 80 - 87,DOI: 10.1080/1753894090274608

2°19'35"S and 29°21'30"E. The length of the Nile River is 7,088 km from its source in Nyungwe National Park of Rwanda. It is the longest river of the world.

• Wikipedia: Nile River Source - See Links below

Recent exploration says that an exploring party went to a place described as the source of the Rukarara tributary, and by hacking a path up steep jungle-choked mountain slopes in the Nyungwe forest found (in the dry season) an appreciable incoming surface flow for many miles upstream, and found a new source, giving the Nile a length of 4199 miles (6758 kilometers)

The Nile ends its journey in northern Egypt where it flows into the Mediterranean Sea.

The Nile River is longer than the Amazon River in South America (6,575 km or 4,086 miles).
