The Nile River is the longest river in the world, stretching approximately 6,650 kilometers (4,130 miles) from its source in Lake Victoria to its mouth in the Mediterranean¹ Sea. It flows through 11 African countries, including Uganda, Sudan, and Egypt, and has historically supported ancient civilizations like the Egyptians. The Amazon River was once considered shorter, but recent studies suggest it might rival the Nile in length if measured differently. However, the Nile remains² the widely accepted longest river due to traditional measurement standards.

尼罗河是世界上最长的河流，全长约 6,650公里，从非洲的维多利亚湖发源，最终注入地中海。它流经 11个国家，包括乌干达、苏丹和埃及，并滋养了古埃及等文明。尽管亚马逊河曾因不同测量方式被质疑比尼罗河更长，但传统标准仍认定尼罗河为第一。其两大支流——白尼罗河与青尼罗河——在苏丹交汇，形成主干流，对沿岸农业与生态至关重要。
