Abstract The Qena Governorate is located in Upper Southern Egypt, north of Aswan Governorate and south of the Sohag Governorate to the west lies the New Valley Governorate and to the east the Red Sea Governorate. Approximately 15% of the Governorate land lies in the Nile Valley and the remainder being split between the Western and the Eastern deserts.Qena is characterized physically by the very large arching easterly meander in the River Nile. The Nile River takes a distinct detour in the central part of Qena Governorate from its strait north–south direction, making a wide arching curve (known as the Qena Bend). The Qena bend has been described as an ecological transition zone between the northern and southern Nile Valley in Egypt. |
