In Egypt, the Nile River ran through a green valley with deserts on both sides. The natural barriers was great for protecting the Egyptians from harm, such as cataracts. Cataracts are wild rapids which don’t allow enemies to get to the Nile Valley to attack. Another natural barrier that protected the ancient Egyptians was the Nile Delta. A delta is an area of fertile soil at the mouth of a river. This delta kept ships from docking which didn't let anybody try to attack
