More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minibus in Aswan at dawn and the Nile opens—slow, broad, insisting. The cruise ship waits like a small village afloat: teak deck chairs, a sunbaked sundeck and a guide with a folder of ancient names. Over the next four days the river pushes you north past villas, feluccas and farmers tending palm lines, stopping for temples that still hold the hands of pharaohs.
