The Nile River, the longest river on Earth, flows through 11 countries and is vital to Egypt. It has two main tributaries, the White Nile and the Blue Nile, which meet in Sudan.

The river supports diverse ecosystems, from rainforests to savannahs, and is home to various wildlife, including fish, birds, and Nile crocodiles.
