...these guys earn in 5 years, so perhaps just go there for a drink and watch...
...the feluccas glide by, or hire one of these crude but charming...
...or would you prefer a noisy, crowded, diesel-powered barge?

Old Cataract Hotel:
Another
can-tho-not-must-do in Aswan is sunset drinks on the terrace of the Old
Cataract Hotel overlooking the Nile, with the high-winged feluccas tacking past. If so, it might be a good idea
to dress up a little in case the management decide they prefer only
to serve their guests.
Feluccas:
Any
serious traveller should experience Egypt's traditional sail boats, the
felucca, even if it's only for a sunset experience... More Felucca information in our Aswan Guide.
