Useful information:
Whether the Nile or the Amazon is the longest river in the world is still not entirely certain.

What is for sure, however, is that the Nile is the only African river that runs through the Sahara, transforming the barren North African desert into a thriving oasis some 1000 kilometers long.

Even in ancient Egypt, sophisticated irrigation systems were used by farmers to create an important basis for controlled agricultural cultivation.

Today, more than 80 million Egyptians live along the Nile - most of them in the estuary delta. Here, about 25 kilometers north of Cairo, the mightiest river in Africa splits into many small rivers and two main estuaries. It then finally reaches the Mediterranean.
