The Nile River in Egypt is a river flowing through eastern and northern Africa. It flows into the Mediterranean Sea from south to north and is 6,853 kilometers long. More than 90% of Egypt's population is distributed in the plains and delta areas along the Nile River, so the Nile River is the "mother river" and "the river of life" for the Egyptians. The standard view of the Nile is the clear water, the oases along the banks and the sand dunes in the distance. If you want to enjoy the beauty of the entire Nile River, the general way to browse is to take a cruise. During the whole process, you can not only enjoy the sunrise and sunset of the Nile River on the cruise ship, but also stop at the famous scenic spots on both sides of the Nile River, such as Philae Temple, Abu Singh Bay Temple, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Queen Hatzipsut Temple, etc. The sunrise and sunset of the Nile can be described as "beautiful", so you must not miss the moment of sunrise and sunset on the cruise. Another way to cruise the Nile is to take the Felucca, an ancient Egyptian transport. The sail is triangular and can move. When the wind is down, the sail is straight forward, and when the wind is up, the sail sails in a "zigzag" shape. At dusk and sunset, sailing on the Nile with Felucca is a very wonderful enjoyment of life.
