Upper Egypt is in the South of Egypt and is so called because the Nile, which is considered the life blood of Eygpt, converges in the Sudan (South) and flows South to North.
Because of this, Southern cities like Luxor and Aswan are actually located in 'Upper Egypt' and northern places like Cairo are in 'Lower Egypt.'
