It's all about gravity. Rivers always flow due to gravity, meaning that the beginning of the river is the highest point, and the end of the river is the lowest. The water flows downhill the entire way, due to the force of gravity pulling it down. The Nile justs happens to be set up in such a way that gravity naturally makes it flow in that direction.

Hi. As with all rivers, it flows down hill. The slope just happens to lie higher in the south.
