Solution

The Nile has proved to be a great boon for Egypt. It makes the land fertile, allowing Egyptian farmers to grow crops in the same fields year after year. The river also served as a natural highway, enabling easy navigation. This promoted trade and commerce within the country and with other nations. Therefore, Egypt is rightly called ‘The Gift of the Nile.’
