Egypt was (and is) a country dominated by the Nile River. During ancient times, Egypt was divided, though not formally, into Upper and Lower regions, which had to do with the course of the Nile River. The Nile flows from south to north, and therefore the southern portion is higher in elevation, thus this was known as 'upper Egypt' - lower Egypt was the area from around the Aswan cataracts to the delta north of Cairo.
We here in the US sometimes have a hard time getting this, because most of our major rivers run NORTH to SOUTH (The Mississippi, the Hudson, etc) so we have trouble seeing a river that runs SOUTH to NORTH like the Nile.
upper Egypt is in the south. lower Egypt is in the north
One ancient civilization that included two regions, a southern region and a northern region, is Ancient Egypt. The southern region, known as Upper Egypt, was located along the Nile River in the southern part of the country, while the northern region, known as Lower Egypt, was located in the Nile Delta region in the north. These two regions were eventually united under the rule of the pharaohs, creating a single kingdom.

Abydos was located in Ancient Egypt, above the first cataract (waterfall) of the nile. Its symbol was a hill, surmounted by two feathers. It was the 8th nome of Ancient Egypt.
