O Nilo

De Assuão até Edfu, Egipto
As I really don't like mass tourism, I've chosen Abdul's felucca to go down the river, from Assuan to Edfu, instead of the crowded big boats, where you will never have the closer contact I had with the life on the Nile. It was a fantastic four days journey experience.
