Somehow the communication hadn't worked. The "captain" was a bit irritated when we informed him that we had booked a 3 hour trip; he had assumed an hour. But once that was sorted out it was a very nice and smooth ride with a great sunset to finish.

Little disappointed from taking motor boat instead of felucca as expected.

The wind was light so we got the motor bot tour rather than the sail boat tour. It was pleasant being in the river in the late afternoon and our “guide” was very friendly and got us cold water and sodas. Although he was a very nice man he spoke almost no English which meant it really was an unguided boat ride. We got no details about what we were seeing. Pleasant enough but some history or sightseeing is what we paid for.
