Answer :
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.
Northern and Southern Egypt significantly differs in altitude by means of the sea level. Therefore, Nile flows from South to North. Additionally, In Egyptian history, the direction of Nile was always important and "up" and "down" were preferred over “north”, “south”, “east” and “west”.
