A journey down the River Nile!













The above pictures show the Blue Nile near its source in Ethiopia and then the Nile confluence in Sudan. What is a confluence?

Living in Egypt we really should know a little bit about the River Nile and the journey it makes from source to sea. I have found a fantastic link to an education site that explores in photos the journey that the Nile makes.


Click the link below to see for yourselves!

(Year 7, 10 and 11 this is great extension work for your units on rivers)



The map shows the journey of the Blue Nile. The Nile however is made up of the Blue Nile
and the White Nile. Can you find out the countries that the White Nile flows through?
Email geogaroundtheworld@gmail.com if you have the answers.
