It is amazing seeing all of the desert and animals in the Nile River, Egypt. I am on a boat floating down the river, next to crocodiles and fish swimming in the water. Some of the animals in the river are hippos, crocodiles, flamingos and much more. There are huge pyramids and miles of sandy desert that we pass. It is an amazing river.
The Nile gets its name from the greek word "nelios" meaning river valley. The Nile river is 6695 km long, and the longest river in the world. It flows through Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Burundi. The Nile god was Hapi. When the river flooded the Egyptians would thank Hapi for bringing fertility to the land.
