Egypt River Cruises
The mysterious Nile River,
the world's longest river,
flows from Lake Victoria in
East Africa to its mouth at
the Mediterranean Sea in
Egypt. It passes through
rainforest, mountain,
savanna, and swamp until, on
the final leg of its
journey, it winds its way
through Egypt like a giant
snake, passing through some
of the driest desert on
earth. With a name from a
Greek word meaning "river
valley," the Nile River
played a crucial role in the
founding of Egyptian
civilization.
