Nile Delta

The Nile Delta is a fertile region in Egypt where the Nile River spreads out and drains into the Mediterranean Sea. It covers a broad, fan-shaped area characterized by rich soil and abundant water, making it one of the world's most important agricultural zones. This delta supports diverse ecosystems and a large population due to its productivity. Formed over thousands of years by sediment deposited by the river, it has historically been vital for farming, trade, and civilization development in Egypt. The area benefits from the river’s annual flooding, which replenishes nutrients in the land.
