Since ancient Egypt and the land of the pharaohs were divided into two regions or Kingdoms they were called Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. The terminologies of Upper and Lower Egypt came as a result of the flow of the Nile River. If you go to the north you will find what we call the Lower Egypt where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta. If you head to the south you are going to be located in Upper Egypt which is stretched out to Aswan.
