Overall, because of Egypt’s geography, the people enjoyed many luxuries from the provided geographical and natural resources. The rich soil on which they could farm, provided fruits, herbs, and grains while the Nile provided a fresh source of food. They were also given a mean of transportation which helped them travel throughout Egypt and advance in trade/economy. And lastly, they were provided with an unlimited supply of fresh water.

The people of Egypt enjoyed many luxuries due to the land's overall geography. Frequent flooding of the Nile made soils along its banks rich and fertile instead of barren sands, which where then cultivated to grow fruits, herbs, and grains. When not in flood, the Nile was a source of fresh water and fish, and also provided a transportation route for commerce through Egypt and beyond.
I mentioned the flooding for you because flood waters carry nutrients further inland, allowing the Egyptian population to expand. Without the flooding and extensive tracts of fertile lands, the population would have been crammed against the banks and there wouldn't be enough good soil and space to support a large number of people. And the influence of Egyptian culture reached as far away as Greece and Mesopotamia, maybe further. Don't know about civilizations to the south, because the Ancient Kingdom of Greater Egypt included lands that are now other countries.

I think it should be this:

Because of Egypt’s geography, the people enjoyed many luxuries from its geographic and natural resources. The rich soil on which egyptians could farm provided fruits, herbs, and grains, while the Nile provided a fresh source of food ***(water, perhaps?)*** and a means of transportation. As a means of transport, the Nile helped them advance their trade and economy. Finally, egyptians were provided with an unlimited supply of fresh water- which isn't common in a desert.
-Tried not to rewrite it for you. It doesn't exactly "flow" easily, but it is a good start.

I assume you are referring to ancient Egypt.
Try this:
Overall, Egypt enjoyed many luxuries provided by the inherent geography and natural resources. The Nile provided rich soil, fresh water, and a means of transportation. Despite the dangers the river brought, such as floods and crocodiles; trade and crops flourished. Aquatic life and fresh water drew other game which helped enrich the diets of the Egyptians. The Egyptian Empire spread the length of the Nile and rarely exceeded the width of the Nile's valley except along the coast of the Mediterrainian or where irigation projects increased the fertility of the soil.

The people of Egypt enjoyed the luxuries of its inherent geography. The Nile River provided otherwise barren soil an abundance in natural resources. First, there was a seemingly endless supply of fresh water. In addition, fruits, herbs, and grains grew due to the richness of the soil, which in turn was due to the river's cyclical changes. Topping off the benefits, the Nile facilitated transportation allowing a cutting edge in trade and economy in the region.
