Africa Egypt Longest River Ancient Egypt Tourist Destination Mediterranean Sea

Just like we all know so well from our geography classes in school, the Nile River is the longest river on Earth (though some scientists believe that the Amazon River, together with its tributaries, should actually be considered the longest one). The river is located in the northeastern part of the African continent and flows northward, eventually meeting the Mediterranean Sea near the Egyptian city of Cairo.

The Nile has historically been considered a sacred river. It has fluctuating water levels and thus helps those who live near the river survive in the harsh conditions of the African climate. The Nile flows across 11 African countries and is considered one of the most “international” rivers on the planet. Its length is estimated at 4,258 miles (6,853 km), and in some places the Nile can be as wide as 2 miles.

For many years, there has been a mystery about where the Nile takes its source from. Many enthusiasts and travelers spent weeks and months trying to find out where the river comes from. So did the famous hosts of the show Top Gear in one of their epic episodes. It is generally considered that Lake Victoria, one of the largest lakes on the continent, should be taken as the source of the Nile.

There are many tributaries and natural wonders, such as waterfalls, that can be observed in the river area. Historically, the Nile played a key role in the development of the African continent, as it marked the area of civilizations such as Ancient Egypt and other ethnic groups.
