The Nile is the worlds longest river. Traveling a length of 6800km to reach the Mediterranean Sea.
The Nile Basin covers 3,340,000sq.km.it covers approximately 10% of the African Continent,and its wealth is shared by 10 countries.
Egypt is the main beneficiary of its waters.
Beginning at its sources,Lake Victoria in Uganda,The White Nile, and Lake Tama in the Ethiopian highlands, The Blue Nile.
They join at Atbara,about 320km.north of Khartoum.
It is then The Nile becomes a single tributary river, with no other sources flowing into it and it slices its way through Africa until it reaches its destination,The Mediterranean Sea.
The Ancient Egyptians likened The Nile to their sacred Lotus.
The Delta being the flower,Al-Fayoum Oasis the bud, and the river and the valley the long stem.

Length: 6,695 km (4,180 mi)
The drainage basin of the Nile covers 3,254,555 km², about 10% of the area of Africa [1].
There are two great Tributaries of the Nile: the White Nile, starting in equatorial East Africa, and the Blue Nile, beginning in Ethiopia. Both branches are on the western flanks of the East African Rift, the southern part of the Great Rift Valley. Another less important one is Atbara which flows only while there is rain in Ethiopia and dries very fast.
