The Blue Nile
ETHIOPIA/ SUDAN
The Blue Nile is a river originating at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. It joins the White Nile at Khartoum, Sudan and, as the Nile, flows through Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. The distance from its source to its confluence is variously reported as 1460 and 1600 km. The uncertainty over its length might partially result from the fact that it flows through virtually impenetrable gorges cut in the Ethiopian highlands to a depth of some 1500 m.
