The Nile Delta
The Nile Delta is the point the Nile River ends. North of Cairo, Egypt is the Delta where the Nile runs into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile Delta is 100 miles North of Cairo, where it seeps into the sea. The Nile Delta is also thousands of years old and is mostly grass. Lastly, in ancient times the Nile Delta broke into seven channels. Source for picture: upload.wikimedia.org
The "Great Bend" of the Nile
The "Great Bend" of the Nile is where the Nile River makes a huge bend, showing that the Nile changes very much in certain places. The region the "Great Bend" of the Nile is found in is a sandy, arid place. The Nile cataracts have been a barrier for trade and travel for a long time. Also, the Nile rapids are too dangerous to boat on, making it difficult for travel and trade as well. Source for picture: earthobservatory.nasa.gov
Lake Victoria
Lake Victoria is the source of the Whit Nile and is a mountainous, grassy region. Two lakes are branched off of the Nile after Victoria. The first person to discover Lake Victoria was a man named Hanning Speeke in the 1850's. This is one example that the Nile runs through both sandy, arid places and grassy, mountainous regions.
