Independent proposal to promote hiking, mountaineering, tourism and different outdoor activities around the planet...
After knowing the explanation and elaboration of the papyrus, also the demonstration of the famous Egyptian essences, at sunset we went for a cruise along the majestic Nile River, on the cruise we enjoyed a buffet dinner, the classic Arab dance and others shows, fantastic night views.
The Nile (Arabic: النيل, alnayl) is the largest river in Africa, flowing north through ten countries Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia, until it drains into the extreme southeast of the Mediterranean, forming the great delta of the Nile, on which the cities of Cairo and Alexandria are located. It has a length of 6650 km, the second longest river in the world after the Amazon.
For centuries it was considered the longest river in the world; however, measurements from 2007 and 2008 have redefined the source of the Amazon in the Apurimac river basin in southern Peru, designating it as the longest river in the world.
The furthest source of Lake Victoria is the Kagera River, located in western Tanzania. If this is considered the source of the Nile, its source would be the longest watercourse flowing into the Mediterranean, with the Nile-Kagera being the second longest river in the world, with a length of 6,853 kilometers.
The Nile took its current configuration at the end of the Tertiary Era. It is located northeast of the continent. It is born in Burundi and has two branches or main sources: the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The former runs through the African Great Lakes, with its most distant source in Rwanda, and flows north through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda, South Sudan and Sudan, while the Blue Nile rises at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. , and crosses south-eastern Sudan. Both are located near the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.
The northern part of the river flows almost entirely through the desert, between Sudan and Egypt, an area whose civilization has depended on the river for millennia. Most of Egypt's population and all of its cities except those in the Nile delta and oases are located along the Nile Valley (north of Aswan), and most of the cultural and historical sites They are on the banks of the river. The mouth of the river forms the Nile delta, on the shores of the Mediterranean in Egypt.
The Nile was a fundamental element for the flourishing of the Ancient Egyptian civilization. Most of their cities were in the Nile Valley and its Delta, north of Aswan. The Nile was vital to Egyptian culture since the Stone Age. Climate change and desertification dried up the hunting and grazing lands of North Africa to form the Sahara desert, around 8000 BC. c.; then, many inhabitants migrated and settled along the Nile, where they developed an agricultural economy and a centralized society. The surface of the Nile River has frozen at least twice in recorded history, in 829 and 1010.
A very pleasant moment, except for our Arab guide Alamh, since he was in total abstinence for Ramadan in this Muslim country, he did not eat or drink, highly recommended to enjoy as a couple.
Essential and considered route for the EBC-2023 Project
