Egypt is dry, with the exception of the Nile at the very north near the Delta. The landscape is mostly flat and rocky, a dull sandy color sweeps the landscape with the occasional brilliant grey rocky outcrop breaking the mundane color scheme.
The Nile river system has many tributaries, the White Nile along with the Blue Nile being the primary tributaries. So, it was challenging for explorers to track the origin of the river and it wasn’t until the late 19th century that individuals began to really comprehend the river and it has been determined that the ultimate source of the river is the Bururi Province in Burundi.
White Nile in Egypt, gets its name from the waters of Lake Tana, the largest lake in Ethiopia, from whence the river flows to Khartoum and on into Egypt. Walt didn’t fly over the falls; he practically flew into them.
