The Nile is a major north-flowing river in northeast Africa that empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Its two major tributaries are the White Nile and Blue Nile, which meet at Khartoum before the river flows through Egypt to the sea near Alexandria. The river supported Ancient Egyptian civilization and remains important to irrigation and electricity generation in Egypt and Sudan. Dams in the Nile Basin have altered flooding and silt transport.
