In northeastern Africa, the Nile River is a large north-flowing river. It is the world's most famous river and Africa's longest. The Nile, which stretches for 6,650 kilometers and crosses 11 nations, is considered an "international" river. The Nile Shore is bordered by historic monuments dating back millennia. The calendar of the Ancient Egyptians was based on the Nile River level and the stars. According to the calendar each year begins in mid-July, when the river rises in preparation for the yearly flood.

The Nile is Egypt's and Sudan's major supply of water. For thousands of years, the river has provided irrigation to convert the arid areas surrounding it into arable farmlands. The river continues to be a major transportation and commercial corridor.
