In northeastern Africa, the Nile River is the longest river in the world at about 6, 670 kilometers (4, 145 miles). It flows northward through eleven countries, including Uganda, Sudan, and Egypt.
Two major rivers, the White Nile and the Blue Nile, join together to form the Nile River. The White Nile starts in Rwanda and flows through Uganda and Sudan. The Blue Nile begins in Ethiopia and brings most of the water to Egypt.
Throughout history, the Nile has played a vital role for ancient civilizations(文明) like the Egyptians. They depended on the river's yearly floods(洪水) to water their crops and keep their way of life. The Egyptians even created their calendar around the flooding cycle.
