    About this ebook

    The Nile River has amazed people for thousands of years. It runs opposite from most river systems. It floods for miles, pushing back the desert and providing farming lands for civilizations to thrive. It fills a massive swamp and has canyons and waterfalls that are as spectacular as anywhere in the world. Most of its course is through the desert, yet it never runs dry.
    How much do you know about the Nile River? Can you answer these questions:
    Is the Nile River the longest river in the world?
    Most rivers grow in size until they reach the sea. When does the Nile River loose 50% of its water before it reaches the ocean?
    What two colors does the Nile River come in?
    How much of the water that flows into the Mediterranean Sea comes from the Nile?
    What happened to many ancient Egyptian temples when the Aswan High Dam was built?

    Find out the answers to these questions and more and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts.
    Ages 8 and up.
    All measurements in American and metric.
