The Nile River is one of the most popular rivers in the world. One of the reasons for this is the historical background of the river. It is one of the oldest places in the world where civilization started. There are many ancient Egyptian people who needed the Nile River for water intake, as it served as a purpose for freshwater. The Nile River is also historic because it flows through many other countries, including Uganda and Ethiopia. Along with how long the river is, many people have been able to make a living off of the river, because it served as freshwater.
