Lower Egypt

This term is used to identify the northern portion of the Nile river valley of Egypt.

The Nile flows from south to north and the designation of Lower Egypt signifies the part of the Nile river valley which is closest to the Mediterranean Sea; you might also consider that, since water flows downhill, the terminal point of every river is lower in elevation than its source and this would make the northern Nile the “lower” part of the river; the southern portion of the Nile river valley is conversely called Upper Egypt.
