From Aswan I took a 2 night felucca trip north up the Nile. The felucca was pretty basic. Just a sail and a deck. Me and the 8 people i was sharing it with just read, talked or slept. The Nile itself was a little underwhelming and I would rate it a distant second to the Murray. Sure the Nile is longer and wider but there is really nothing to it. The scenery along its banks is nothing special, theres no wildlife to speak of and I wouldn't dream of swimming in it. Give me a weekend house boat trip down the Murray with your mates any day.
The highlights, of which there were few, were stops at the temples in Kom Ombo and Edfu.
