How did the people of Nubia and Egypt benefit from the geography?

By far the most valuable geographic feature of Egypt and Nubia was the Nile River. Despite the fact that these countries were located in the Sahara Desert, which is extremely hot and receives nearly no rainfall, the Nile River provided freshwater to the regions year round. Further, it flooded its banks once a year, not only watering crops but fertilizing them with nutritious sediments brought from upstream. Besides the fact that the Nile River supported farming in Egypt and Nubia, people traveled up and down the river in boats, allowing goods and people to easily cover long distances.
