The Source of the River Nile



The Source of the Nile River is in Jinja, Uganda. It begins as one-fourth fresh water springs and three-fourths Lake Victoria.
From Lake Victoria in Uganda, the Nile River flows 4184 miles (6695km) through Uganda, Sudan and Egypt where it empties into the Mediterranean Sea about 90 days later from where it started.

The Nile is famous as the longest river in the world. The river got its name from the Greek word Neilos, which means “valley”. It was an amazing place to visit such a River that is so important to the world historically.

    I am amazed to see your work.
    Cant believe in this material world, there are people who chooses to spend their life helping others.

    I hope you are enjoying your time. I could imagine it is so full of new things (ofcourse pretty hard at times)
    Best of luck
