The river Nile is about 6670 km in length and it is the longest river in Africa and also the world.

Although it is generally associated with Egypt only 22 percent runs through Egypt.

Without the Nile there would have been no ancient egyptians.

The land next to the Nile was called black land the area further away was called the red land.

The Nile flooded every year between June and September, in a season the egyptians called akhet.

The Nile will flow 300 million cubic meters every day.

The sun will evaporate 11o million bottles of water from the Nile every minute.
