This river is different from the other rivers in Britain and rivers in the world since it is long. And it will help people living in desert because it is a dry country so there won’t be much water to live with. And if it is long, more people can use the water.

Key features of this river is that it is over 4000 miles long. And the great bend is one of the most unexpected feature of the Nile. The Nile flows to north, but here in the heart of Sahara it turns southwest and flows a way from the sea for 300km before getting on to it’s own track again.

The major dams are Rosaries, Sennar, Aswan and Owen Falls dam. And some bridges that crosses river Nile is Luxur, Suhag, 1st Rind Road, Abbes bridge.

The unique things about this river is that it’s the longest river in the world. And that this river flows entirely through desert to the sea. It’s different from the other rivers because no other rivers are the longest in the world. And another is that it is very surprising that a river can go through a desert to an ocean without evaporating.
