Most important river in Ancient Egypt

The Nile

Explain why the Nile was so important to the Ancient Egyptians.

The Nile has turned dry desert land into rich farmland for thousands of years. The river gives water for crops and leaves behind nutrient-rich soil when it floods.

The Ancient Egyptians used the Nile for many things...

  • Farming: floodwaters gave them soil to grow wheat, barley, and flax.
  • Food: the Nile gave fish and birds to eat.
  • Papyrus: reeds growing along the banks were used to make paper and boats.
  • Trade and travel: boats could move up and down the Nile for trade.
  • Tools: they built mud-brick walls to trap water and used a tool called a shaduf to lift water for farming.
