So going by common names, there is the White Lotus-of-the-Nile (Nymphaea lotus) and the Blue Lotus-of-the-Nile (Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea, formerly N. caerulea). Is either of these the Waterlily you are seeking?

Both species do occur on the Nile. though neither is endemic to that river.
Also, to be clear, despite the word 'Lotus' in their common names, these are both species of Waterlily (Nymphaea),
not Water-lotus (Nelumbo).
