The Nile River is one of the longest rivers in the world and is considered the "artery of life" of Egypt, providing the water necessary for agriculture and human life. The Nile is approximately 6,650 km long and flows through several countries, including Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt, before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea.
Cairo, meanwhile, is the capital of Egypt and the country's largest city, with a population of more than 20 million people. The city is famous for its impressive ancient monuments, such as the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, as well as its bustling street life and vibrant cultural and gastronomic scene. It is also known as "the mother of all cities" and "the city of a thousand minarets".
