All throughout its history Egypt has been dominated with boats.

 

In the early days the only way you could get up and down the river was by boat. Transporting people and crops was a daily part of life for the Egyptians, it was said the Gods used boats to travel up and down the River Nile along with the souls of the dead.

 

Today in this modern world with its various methods of transport the River Nile cruises are a welcome sight on its waters.

 

Since the time of the Pharaohs the primary transport was called a Felucca which is a barge the Egyptians used to move bulk material up and down the River Nile, depending on the breeze of the day and the flowing current.

 

Nile Cruise ships can be seen gliding up and down the River Nile with the Egyptians waving at the tourists as they go about their daily routine.

 

When you look towards the banks of this famous river you can also spot a wide variety of animals, birds and fish who call Egypt their home.

 

Sailing up and down the river Nile and taking pictures of these animals living along side of the Egyptians is a breathtaking experience of nature and man coming together in a peaceful environment, no stress just calmness.
