Nile river egypt

“The Nile River is commonly regarded as the longest river in the world, flowing for 4,258 miles (6,853 km) over 11 countries in northeastern Africa. In this overview, it is shown flowing north through Egypt, forming a large delta before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. Civilizations since ancient times have depended on the waters of the Nile to flood and fertilize the surrounding desert lands.” - @dailyoverview⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📸: @airbus_space @benjaminrgrant⁠ ⁠

Even after nurturing and enchanting humans for thousands of years, the Nile River is full of surprises—and the longest river in the world.

With grand pharaonic temples strung along its banks, the father of all rivers is the backbone of Egypt and can boast of having been instrumental for one of the most splendid civilisations of the ancient world. Why not take a cruise along the Nile?
