How deep is Nile?

Instead, just how deep it is depends on the area. For instance, Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile River, can reach maximum depths of up to 273 feet. However, most of the Nile itself is much more shallow than this. On average, the Nile River is anywhere from 26 to 36 feet deep.
