Which country is called “land of gift of the Nile”?

  • A. Finland
  • B. Palestine
  • C. Syria
  • D. Egypt

Correct Answer: D. Egypt

The ancient Greeks called Egypt as the land of the gift of the Nile. About 450BCE, a Greek historian named Herodotus called Egypt the “Gift of the Nile” because the Egyptian civilization depended on the resources of the great river. The Nile River flows into the Mediterranean Sea, and there is a delta at the mouth.
