The Nile, a river that flows north into Africa, is among the longest waterways in the world, and is famous for its ancient history and the archaeological sites found along its banks. The fertile lower Nile gave rise to the ancient Egyptian civilization and still houses the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza near Cairo. Tourist boats, from luxurious cruise ships to traditional felucas, also cross between the cities of Luxor and Aswan.

The Nile River was extremely important to settlement patterns in Egypt. The soil surrounding the Nile is very fertile, unlike the arid landscape typical in the rest of the country. The Nile is also featured in a number of Egyptian myths. It became so important to life and culture that it earned the nickname “the father of African rivers.” The river used to flood on a yearly basis, but now the Aswan High Dam, built in the mid-20th century, allows surrounding countries to control the floods.
