The Nile river begins with the Nile Delta at the Mediterranean Sea, and runs south through Egypt, with Cairo the capital on the river's banks. At Aswan, a dam has been constructed that regulates the flooding of the Nile downstream and providing electricity. Continuing, the Nile in Sudan forms the longest sections of the river, with the confluence of the Blue Nile and While Nile at the capital Khartoum.
The Blue Nile rises into the highlands of Ethiopia, with its source at Lake Tana. The summer peak rains in Ethiopia are what drive the yearly flooding of the Nile that so puzzled the ancients of the Mediterranean, accustomed to peak rains in winter. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is currently being filled on the Blue Nile, and has caused tensions and dispute between Ethiopia and Egypt, the latter who feels their critical water supply is threatened by the project.
The White Nile continues south until it meets the Sudd, a large swampy land that literally means "barrier", and acted as the barrier to all expeditions from the North, including a Roman expedition in 66AD ordered by the Emperor Nero and documented by the Roman historians Pliny and Seneca.
Beyond the Sudd, the Mountain Nile rises until it reaches Lake Albert in Uganda, and then becomes the Victoria Nile, rising again through a series of rapids including Murchison Falls, until Lake Victoria is reached at Jinja. The second largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Victoria is fed by many headwaters. But the furthest source is now believed to be the Kagera River in Burundi.

I was in Rwanda in the Nyungwe forest where there are areas marked as sources of the Nile. That is the most beautiful forest Iβve ever seen. Thanks for the great video!

Blue NIle which flows from Ethiopia actually contributes ninety percent of the water and soil. The so called "white nile's contribution is minimal.

As a kid I lived in Addis Abeba in the 80s. I remember the summer rains at times being so heavy, that you could barely see across the street.

I was on holiday in Egypt at 9 or 10 years old, and there's two visual memories that stand out to me to this day. One is our train ride from Luxor to Cairo, where a minor sand storm partially obscured the pyramids from view β I vividly remember seeing a massive darker shape looming up through the sand and dust, gradually taking shape until it was unmistakably triangular.
The other was, as we drove up from Hurghada to Luxor, the entire stretches of land surrounding the Nile, a vibrant green landscape with crops and orchards and greenery, and its sudden and complete change into desolate sand and rock.
Awe-inspiring.
Without exaggeration, those two sights have shaped so much in my life; it would have been completely different had I never been to Egypt.

You missed the most important part.
James May and the Top Gear boys finding the REAL source of the Nile

The Nile is such a hydrologic oddity. In 100βs of millions of years the Ethiopian highlands have been capturing tropical rains, the river could not find one low path to the Indian Ocean or the Red Sea.

It is worth mentioning that Muhammad Ali Pasha, the Governor of Egypt sent Captain "Salim al-Qabtan" to explore the sources of the Nile between 1839 and 1842, and he made three consecutive trips. This trip aimed to explore the sources of the Nile following the example of the famous ancient kings of Egypt, and many describe it as the first fruits of the civilization that emanated in Egypt.
The expedition started from Khartoum, November 16, 1839, and lasted 135 days. It consisted of 400 people led by him. He penetrated the Sobat River in Sudan and collected data on the White Nile, which was still undiscovered. On his second trip in 1840, he reached Gondokoro, and did not succeed in continuing his journey to the lower waters of the Nile. As for the third trip, its purpose was to follow up the previous efforts, and it reached latitude 4Β° north of the equator. Perhaps the most important geographical results of these two expeditions were the study of the geography of the White Nile, and the drawing of a map showing its course and the surrounding areas.
This information stimulated the commercial and practical bodies and motivated them to discover the regions through which the Nile River passes, and paved his travels for more scouting campaigns, although he did not reach the tropical headwaters of the Nile. As for the importance of his travels, it proved that the White Nile is the main Nile, and that there is a long stream coming from the south. , different from the Blue Nile, which meets the White Nile after its exit from Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
Then John Bathrak completed the efforts of Selim the captain, especially after he entered the service of Muhammad Ali, then he made several trips between the years 1853 and 1854 in western Sudan, and he reached the Bahr al-Ghazal region

The Blue Nile is one of my favourite bands.
Thank you for making this video!

Just discovered your channel and am loving your stuff. Seriously well researched, objective yet not bleak narration, and extremely well edited. The music you put at the beginning pulls it together beautifully.

This was such a detailed, well-narrated, well-designed video. Thank you for making this!

I went on the whitewater at the head of the Nile in Jinja, Uganda. It was absolutely the least safe and most fun I've ever had!
Boat flipped half a dozen times, was often in free fall.
A few days after we left several New Zealanders died.

Very interesting story and really well narrated. I've never been but visiting Egypt is certainly on my bucket list. Have a great week and good luck from Spain!!

I highly recommend the movie Mountains of the Moon, about the expedition for the source of the Nile by Burton & Speke. I just discovered it last year, extremely underrated and never talked about while having fantastic production value, great performances, sense of adventure and peril, beautiful shots, and wonderful human drama. It feels like it also has that sort of subtle criticism of Victorian England that Zulu Dawn, Zulu, The Great Train Robbery, and even The Charge of the Light Brigade had elements of. Idk why but the movie has stuck with me, the friendship between the two, and how it is all destroyed over this expedition, is really touching. Itβs not a perfect movie but as a history student, who finds this era and setting super fascinating, it really made an impact on me.

One evening on a boat in Cairo - it was a strange but awesome experience, it made me feel ancient (I am from South Africa)

Where is ever any rivers "source"?
It seems clear that the Nile has no one single source, but a network of streams, brooks and rivers that feed a lake that feeds the Nile.

This is fantastic. Brilliant work.

Ethiopia's Lake Tana (α£α ααα
) is the source of Abay/ Nile river.

What are your experiences of the world's (possibly) longest, and most storied river? Have you travelled along it? Most likely in Egypt. Or perhaps Lake Victoria or the rapids near there? Or even the Blue Nile in Ethiopia? Or perhaps you just dream of going to see these fabled waters. Either way, let us know your thoughts!
