According to BBC, it stretches way up to 4, 130 miles or 6,650 kilometers.

It is usually associated with Egypt since this is where the country’s civilization began. Albeit it’s association with the country, this body of water connects through 11 countries:

  • Tanzania
  • Uganda
  • Rwanda
  • Burundi
  • Democratic Republic of the Congo
  • Kenya
  • Ethiopia
  • Eritrea
  • South Sudan
  • Republic of Sudan
  • Egypt

The Nile river is also home to a two day celebration called Wafaa an-Nil, where they celebrate the flooding of the Nile way back in ancient times.

The flood leaves rich and fertile soil which Egyptians use to grow crops for food. It is also mysterious for both Egyltians and Greeks since it flows from the south to north and floods at the warmest time of year.
