Now we will take the vehicle to Cairo downtown to enjoy a relaxing Nile felucca ride on the Nile in Cairo for 1 hour to view the fascinating sunset aboard a sailing boat on the eternal Nile River which is the main reason behind this great civilization that enabled ancient Egyptians to build enormous structures to serve as burial tombs in a time when other civilizations were starving and trying to settle to enjoy prosperity.
