Introduction
The majority of people will get their information about what is perhaps the most famous river in the world, and certainly the longest river, from books, classrooms, museums, movies, television, and of course, the internet. Most will never travel its waters, and see its sights first-hand. They won't get to go on a safari and experience wonders on and around the Nile - rapids, the wildlife, the pyramids, or trace Queen Cleopatra's route. This website hopes to provide some of those people with an engaging picture of the Nile and its importance to life in the countries it winds through.
