The Nile (Arabic: النيل an-nīl) is a river in Africa. It is the longest river on Earth (about 6,650 km or 4,132 miles), though other rivers carry more water. It flows into the Mediterranean Seanear Alexandria. It gets its name from theGreek word Νεῖλος Neilos.
The White Nile flows from Lake Victoria inUganda, and through Sudan to Khartoum, where it is joined by the Blue Nile to form the Nile, then through Egypt. The Blue Nile flows through Ethiopia near the Red Sea. About 300 million cubic metres of water flow down the Nile each day.
The Nile is very important to the countrieswhere it flows. On the Nile there are lots ofboats because it is one of the easiest ways toget around. Because of this, many cities in Egypt were built next to the river. Also, thepyramids are close to the Nile. The Nile has always provided most of the water used to grow crops in Egypt and for anything else, since much of the rest of the country is in adesert. The Nile was very important to Ancient Egyptians. In ancient times the Nile flooded every year and the people would starve if there was not enough water for the crops. TheAncient Egyptians got papyrus from the Nile to make hieroglyphs.
