A series for those who love the sea and sailing ships.

For over 5,000 years, Egypt's culture and economy has depended on sailing vessels on the River Nile. Today vital cargoes are still carried by feluccas, the traditional lateen-rigged craft of this part of the world. While on the Nile in Upper Egypt, the tourists find the feluccas the coolest way to travel, offering the ideal way to see the ancient tombs and temples along this historic waterway.
