The Nile

The stunning photographs in this folio-sized book trace this majestic river through both geography and history. The Nile has been and remains today a source of life, prosperity, and civilization. For the ancient cultures that lived by its shores, the Nile was a god that was worshipped. Stretching from the Ethiopian highlands to the Mediterranean Sea, these photographs document the 4,200-mile journey the river travels, from the powerful currents of the Great Lakes region to the serenity of the fertile Nile delta.
