The native inhabitants of the area are the Nubians. The River Nile goes through most of its cataracts while traveling through the Nubian Desert. This is right before the Great Bend of the Nile. The Nubian Desert affected the civilization in ancient Egypt in many ways. Merchants and traders from ancient Egypt would travel over the Nubian Desert to buy gold, cloth, stone, food, and much more from the ancient civilization of Nubia.
The largest city of the Nubian Desert is Port Sudan, located on the eastern end of the desert, on the Red Sea. Other important of the Nubian Desert are Atbara on the river of the same name, as well as Massawa on the Red Sea. The town of Abidiya is located on the Nile river.
