The Egypt Civilization The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilization has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan, and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along riverbanks. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea.desertSudan Egyptwhose civilization AswanAncient Egypt deltaMediterranean Sea

Contribution of The Nile The development of The Egypt Civilization Full of natural resources to the people Generating energy(Dam and Hydro- electric power Fertile soil Transportation Tourist Attraction

Transportation Network The Nile has long been used to transport goods along its length. Winter winds blow south, up river, so ships could sail up river, and down river using the flow of the river

Fertile Soil While most Egyptians still live in the Nile valley, the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam ended the summer floods and their renewal of the fertile soil, fundamentally changing farming practices.Aswan High Dam

Water sharing disputes The Nile's water has affected the politics of East Africa and the Horn of Africa for many decades. Countries including Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya have complained about Egyptian domination of its water resources. The Nile Basin Initiative promotes a peaceful cooperation among those states Horn of AfricaNile Basin Initiative
