The Nile is a river in Africa The Nile is a river in Africa. It is the longest river on Earth (about 6,650 km or 4,132 miles), its source lies in the heart of Africa, near Lake Victoria and flows into the Mediterranean Sea near Alexandria. It gets its name from the Greek word Nelios. The Nile river made it possible for one of the oldest and most fascinating civilizations in History to exist: Ancient Egypt. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

The River Nile The length of the Nile River is approximately 6650 kilometres (4132 miles). It is believed to be the longest river in the world. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

LOCATION Located in Africa, the Nile River lies in the following countries: Kenya, Eritrea, Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

Quick facts about the River Nile Continent Africa Countries it flows through Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Burundi, Egypt Length Approx 6,695 kilometers  (4,160 miles) Number of tributaries 2 Source Burundi, central Africa Mouth Egypt into the Mediterranean Sea Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

Where is the River Nile? The River Nile is in Africa. It originates in Burundi, south of the equator, and flows northward through northeastern Africa, eventually flowing through Egypt and finally draining into the Mediterranean Sea. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

Where is the source of the River Nile? Lake Victoria, Africa's biggest lake, is generally thought of as the source of the River Nile. On the northern edge of the lake, water pours over a waterfall, known as Ripon Falls, into a narrow opening which some people believe is the beginning of the River Nile. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

What are the two main rivers that flow into the River Nile? The River Nile is formed from the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria and the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. These rivers meet in Sudan and then go on their long journey northwards towards the sea. The White Nile is a lot bigger than the Blue Nile, but because of losses along the way the it only contributes about 15% to the flow of the combined Nile. The Blue Nile, rising in Ethiopia, contributes about 85% to the flow of the Nile that passes through Egypt to the Mediterranean. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

When did the Nile flood? The River Nile flooded every year between June and September, in a season the Egyptians called akhet - the inundation. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

Why does the Nile not flood now ? The construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960's meant that from 1970 the annual flood was controlled. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

Why is the Nile River so important? The Nile River is important because it provides Egypt with irrigation, hydroelectric power, a steady water supply and rich soil. It was the lifeblood of ancient Egyptian transport, commerce and agriculture, and remains crucial for sustaining life in the barren deserts of Egypt today. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT

Interesting Facts about the River Nile: The Nile River is the longest river in the world. The Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The largest source of the Nile is Lake Victoria. The Nile has a length of about 6,695 kilometers (4,160 miles). Its average discharge is 3.1 million litres (680,000 gallons) per second. The Nile basin is huge and includes parts of Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Congo (Kinshasa), Kenya. The name Nile comes from the Greek “neilos”, which means valley. The Ancient Egyptians called the river Ar or Aur (black) because of the colour of the sediment left after the river’s annual flood. Dr. Ahmed Zewail Prep School / EGYPT
