The sand or sandstone is a natural border, which constitutes the easternmost extension of the Sahara Desert. But the fertile soil is clearly intrusive and is regarded as a gift from the Nile. All along the river are small towns, large cities, farms, power plants and various industries, all supported by the life-giving waters of the Nile".
