Book Description:

The Nile river is the longest river in the world. It stretches for an incredible 4,132 miles (6,650 km) and passes through seven countries. The Nile is actually two rivers - the White Nile and the Blue Nile. They join to become a single river, the Nile, at Khartoum in Sudan. Before this they are two quite separate rivers. In this book we focus on the White Nile. It is the route of this river that gives the Nile its crown as the longest of all the world's rivers.
