The Ancient Egyptians lived along the Banks of the
River Nile in Egypt.

About 95% of Egypts population still live in the Nile


valley.

and in the past because Egypt is mainly made up of
hot deserts and receives little rainfall. Without the
River Nile, the area would be entirely desert.

All of Egypt depended on the Nile for water, food and


transportation.
