Located in Africa, the Nile River is a major north-flowing river in western Africa. At 4100 miles long it is considered the longest river on earth. The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. While the Blue Nile is the source of most of the river's water and fertile soil, the White Nile is much longer. The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert from Sudan to Egypt.
