Is the Nile River in Asia? No, It's in Africa

No, the Nile River is not in Asia. It is the longest river in the world (approx. 6,650 km / 4,130 mi) and flows entirely through northeastern Africa.

Its basin covers 11 countries: Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and Eritrea. Its two main tributaries—the White Nile (source: Lake Victoria) and the Blue Nile (source: Lake Tana, Ethiopia)—meet at Khartoum, Sudan, then flow north through the Sahara to the Mediterranean Sea.

Asia's major rivers include the Yangtze, Yellow, Mekong, Ganges, Indus, and Euphrates—but not the Nile.
