Places near the Nile River

Aswan Dam
The reason they built the dam was to control the floods Provide water for irrigation, and generate hydroelectricity. They built it also so the water wouldn't go and destroy crops such as cotton that would go down the river and leave the farmer with nothing.

Farming
Farming by the Nile River is a good process depending on what side of the river you are on. If you were on the "Black Lands" you would have a great farming year for the soil. If you were on the "Red Lands" your crops would die from the heat and bad soil.

The Pryamids
The pyramids is where lots of tourists go to see giant triangles that were made a long time ago (2630 BC-2612 BC). The pyramids are a ideal place of where rituals happened and of where they stored their dead and the battle ground for the country of Egypt.
