NILE — a river in Africa, one of the longest in the world, flowing through 11 countries, including Uganda, Sudan, and Egypt. It stretches over 6,600 kilometers. The name “Nile” comes from the Greek Neilos, meaning “river valley.” While it was once believed that its source was Lake Victoria, modern research traces its origins even farther — to the Rwenzori Mountains.
Today, the Nile remains a vital source of water, energy, and historical memory for millions of people. Major cities such as Cairo, Luxor, and Khartoum are located along its banks. At the same time, the river continues to symbolize life, resilience, and continuity in a changing world.
