The Nile River is the longest in Africa and also the disputed longest river in the world, and it is called the father of African rivers. It is 6,650 km (4,132 miles) long. An interesting fact about the river Nile is that no river on earth has captured human imagination like it.

It has two major tributaries, which include the White Nile, which is considered as the headwaters, and also the primary stream of the river Nile. The Blue Nile is the source of most of the water containing 80% of water and silt.

The river Nile passes through 11 countries, which include Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the democratic republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan, Egypt, and Eritrea. According to a Dutch bilingual travel magazine, it was said that the water in the river Nile flows at an average volume of 300 million cubic meters per day. Lastly, the river Nile acts as a major source of water for Egypt and Sudan.

The correct answer to this question is 6,650 kilometers long. This measurement makes the Nile River the longest river in the world. The Nile River also stands out because this river flows north, which is different than the other rivers in the world. The measurement of the Nile River is longer than the Amazon River, which is 6,575 kilometers. There are two sources that contribute to the Nile River. The first is the Blue Nile, which is the color blue and the hue gets darker as it goes. The second is the White Nile, which is the color whitish gray.

The Nile River is 6,650 kilometers long. This is known to be the longest river in the world, and it is also a north−flowing river, which makes it a bit different from all of the other rivers that you can find in the world. There was a time when the Amazon River is said to be longer than the Nile River, but upon closer inspection, its official length is 6,575 kilometers, which is a bit shorter as compared to the Nile. There are different sources of water that flows through the Nile River. The water comes from the Blue Nile and the White Nile, with the Blue Nile making up 2/3 of the water.
