The Nile has two major tributaries: the White Nile and the Blue Nile. These two rivers meet just north of the Sudanese capital Khartoum.

The White Nile is considered to be the headwaters and primary stream of the Nile. The White Nile finds its source in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source still undetermined but located in either Rwanda or Burundi.

The Blue Nile has its source at the Lake Tana in Ethiopia.

The Nile ends in a large delta and flows into the Mediterranean Sea.

Egyptian civilization and Sudanese Kingdoms have depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along the Nile and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along the river.
