The Nile

The Nile is Africa's biggest river. It's the world's longest river (6,700 km) and drains a basin of 3.3 million square kilometres.

It's remarkable for flowing through a desert for nearly half of its length.

It was at the center of the ancient Egyptian civilization and remains vital to modern Sudan and Egypt today.
