The Nile river flows from South to North. Upper Egypt is actually farther south than Lower Egypt, but were given these names because of the starting point of the Nile.

Answer:

To the north was Lower Egypt, where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta. To the south was Upper Egypt, stretching to Aswan. The terminology "Upper" and "Lower" derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa northwards to the Mediterranean Sea.
