On the Feluccas

We spent three days sailing down the Nile from Aswan to Edfu in traditional feluccas. We visited the camel market at Daraw and the temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu. But most of our time by day was spent relaxing on the feluccas. Each evening we moored on the bank of the Nile and enjoyed ourselves around a camp fire with our Nubian crews.
