The two main tributaries of the Nile River are the White Nile, which originates from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, which flows from the mountains of East Africa. These two rivers meet at the city of Khartoum and flow north through Egypt, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and sanitation, before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. Dams help control flooding along the river, while tourists visit the Nile Valley to travel by boat and see ancient temples and pyramids.
