There is no better way to trace the course of Egyptian history than to follow the course of the Nile. its one of the greatest gifts from GOD to egypt.The major cities that are located on the edge of the Nile: Cairo, Gondokoro, Khartoum, Aswan, Thebes/Luxor, Karnak, and the town of Alexandria lies near the Rozeta branch....... so dont forget taking a FALOKA CRUISE IN THE NILE believe me its gr8 and so romantic Leave a Comment Directions: just go to the cornich el nile

Not particularly for those in a hurry. The boats aren't particularly frequent, so a longish wait at the jetty might be involved. But they're pleasant enough places to be if you're not in a rush. and this is a very cheap way to see Cairo from the river.
I've just tried to do this again (Jan '07) and it appears that the riverbuses no longer serve Roda Island or Mar Girgis
I'm not deleting the tip because we live in hope, the service may resume
And it certainly offers some opportunity to float on the nile at a knockdown price. (photo Dec 2007) Address: Maspero dock

If you want to discover the Egyptian Identity , start by the Nile.
When You go to Egypt and look at the river nile, dont just pass by and take a photo of it. No, try to close your eyes and imagine the so long history of this water channel.
Egyptians see the Nile as their main source of existence; it is the blood and main vein and in other words it is Life since the pharaohs.
It is the nile that m,ade them learn to be stable and build a community and learn how to unite and share efforts to feed each others using this great nile.
Dont miss renting a boat (felluka) in the nile and feel what i said. Leave a Comment Address: Everywhere.Directions: Everywhere in Egypt Just close your eyes and follow your heart. For the felluca, go beside the Grand hayyat hotel and 4 seasons cairo. The boat's maximum rent /1hour is 50 egyptian pounds.

 Danny on the Nile. by cazz38Leave a Comment Address: cairo

One of the most relaxing things to do after a hard day at the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum is to take a walk on the Corniche, the riverside promenade. The best time to start your walk would be around dusk when the Corniche starts to buzz with ordinary Cairenes enjoying an evening stroll with their friends and family. It's the most opportune time to mingle with them, chat with them, and get to know more about them. These are your ordinary Cairenes, so touts are rare. And it is generally safe as long as you stick to the main areas around Qasr el-Nil/Nile Hilton.
One of the most extraordinary sights would be the sunset on the west bank - it is beautiful. The transformation of Cairo's skyline from a one giant urban eyesore to a glittering spectacle is fascinating. If you're tired of it, a change in perspective could do the trick - from one of the many colorful boats that take passengers on a short leisurely ride on the Nile.

Something you can't miss - a night cruise on the Nile. And don't go to the organized tourist toor, it is too artificial. Take the boat with natives, one of the small Egyptian boats that are situated all over, along the river. They are colourful boats with colourful pillows, carpets, lights, Egyptian music...
It is an unforgettable ride! Leave a Comment
