THE NILE
The length of the Nile River is about 6650 kilometres. It is thought to be the longest river in the whole world.
Located in Africa, the Nile River lies in the following countries: Kenya, Eritrea, Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.
The Nile River was extremely important to Ancient Egypt. Most of Ancient Egypt’s historical places are found on the banks of the Nile River including cities like Luxor and Cairo.
In 2004, the White Nile Expedition became the first to navigate the entire length of the Nile River. The expedition began in Uganda and finished in Rosetta, taking four months and two weeks to complete.
The Nile Delta in Northern Egypt is where the Nile River drains in to the Mediterranean Sea.
