Nile Delta
The Nile Delta is the delta formed in Lower Egypt where the Nile River spreads out and drains into the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the world's larger deltas—from Alexandria in the west to Port Said in the east; it covers 240 km of the Mediterranean coastline and is a rich agricultural region.| Tap on a place to explore it |
