The Nile holds many mysteries and is the longest river in the world. It was also a river that for centuries provided life for the Egyptians as it is surrounded by desert. The only way to travel, even a hundred years ago, was by taking the Felucca. Today, tourists can choose either a ride for a few hours ride or to sail from Aswan all the way to Cairo. Being in Egypt, I decided to partake in this activity for 2 days, and you can read my misadventures, I would strongly recommend sailing for only a few hours.
