Brief Description of the Nile River

Acknowledged as the longest river in the world, the Nile River has also transcended centuries of ancient Egyptian history.

The Nile river has been the main water source not only of Egypt but also other northern African countries as well. The river has made the soil rich and fertile, and has been responsible for the birth of ancient Egyptian civilization. Up to present, the Nile is still being used to transport goods and people, and most Egyptians still make their homes along the Nile valley.

Nearly all of Egypt's greatest historical landmarks lie along the banks of the Nile. In fact, cruising the Nile is a very educational and rewarding experience because you will be able to get glimpses of Egypt's rich ancient past. The Nile empties out into the Mediterranean Sea.
