Physiographic zones corresponding to distinct Reaches in the Nile
The Dongola Reach is a reach of approximately 160 km in length stretching from the Fourth downriver to the Third Cataracts of the Nile in Upper Nubia, Sudan.[1] Named after the Sudanese town of Dongola which dominates this part of the river, the reach was the heart of ancient Nubia.[2]
