The landscape along the river varies from rain forests and mountains in the south to savannas and swamps in southern Sudan to barren deserts in the north.
Principal river ports are Luxor and Aswān in Egypt and WādīḨalfā’, Dunqulah, Kuraymah, Kūstī, Malakāl and Juba in Sudan.
The 1959 Nile Waters Agreement resolved an international dispute concerning the equitable division of the river’s water among the countries of the region.
The Nile, as defined starting with the Kyaka river in Burundi, is 6,671 km long, and has a surface area of a total of 3,350,000 km² (5 times the area of France).
The Nile can be divided into three zones, starting in the south: The first consists of tributaries to the two streams of the White Nile and the Blue Nile which join near Khartoum in Sudan.
The width of the Nile north from Aswan in Egypt — it's most important stretch in terms of inhabitants and economy — is 2.8 km in average.
