The banks of the Nile River contain many of Egypt’s cultural and historical wonders so it has become a major tourist destination for cruising or sailing. A popular way to get around is by a Dahibiya, which is a smaller vessel that can only accommodate around 10 passengers. After a long day of exploring, the spirited crew members often serenade the visitors with traditional music.
