尼罗河干流进入埃及北部后在开罗附近散开汇入地中海,形成了尼罗河三角洲。它以开罗为顶点,西至亚历山大港,东到塞德港(Port Said),海岸线绵延230公里,南北长约160公里,东西宽250公里,面积约2.4万平方千米,尼罗河三角洲土地肥沃,人口密集,是古埃及文明的发源地。

在法老时代,这一地区被称作“下埃及”(“上埃及”是尼罗河谷地)。根据老普林尼的记载,当时尼罗河在进入三角洲以后分成了7条分流,由东向西依次是Pelusiac, Tanitic, Mendesian, Phatnitic, Sebennytic, Bolbitine和Canopic。而现在,由于河道的淤积和变动,三角洲上的主要分流只剩下两条:西边的罗塞塔河(Rosetta)和东边的达米耶塔河(Damietta)。

The Nile Delta (Arabic:دلتا النيل Delta n-Nīl or simply الدلتا ed-Delta) is the delta formed in Northern Egypt (Lower Egypt) where the Nile River spreads out and drains into the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the world's largest river deltas—from Alexandria in the west to Port Said in the east, it covers 240 kilometres (150 mi) of Mediterranean coastline—and is a rich agricultural region. From north to south the delta is approximately 160 kilometres (99 mi) in length. The Delta begins slightly down-river from Cairo.
