The second zone is the stretch between Khartoum and Cairo. The third and last zone is the Nile Delta, where the Nile divides into several branches and artificial canals. The main rivers are Rosetta (Rashid) and Damietta (Dumyat) are the main ones. The Nile Delta is the widest habitable area of the Nile, and it even includes several lakes, like Manzala, Buruillus and Edku.

The greatest width is at Edfu, with 7.5 km, the smallest at Silwa Gorge, near Aswan, with 350 metres. |
