This was our home for 4 days and 3 nights. No toilet. We ate on the boat. We slept on the boat. Fortunately, the captain know where to stop for beer runs.

Dustin looking like Arab Outlaw on felluca. Notice the beer leaned up against his side. In case he needs to get into a quick bar fight.
Me Napping on Felluca
There tends to be a lot of spare time on a felluca.
Me & Felluca Crew
The crew of the felluca. These guys were great. If I could get the same felluca the next time on the Nile, I would. I’d like to tell you that they let me sail the felluca but that wouldn’t rea;;y be the whole truth. They just kinda let me watch and pretend I was sailing the felluca. However, I’m sure if you were a sailor and you had a few extra bucks in your pocket, I’m sure the captain of a felluca could be persuaded to allow you to sail down the Nile.

The felluca doubled as a tent when the blankets were put up around the sides and the top. Kinda cozy.

The felluca, docked. Notice the ganplank to the shore. This was a couple of 2 X 6′s nailed together to form a walkway that was around 12 feet long. Now most of the time it wasn’t a problem. But, after a couple of beers and in a high wind, getting on and off the boat started to get a bit more tricky.

Good morning, felluca passengers.
Felluca Trip
This is our felluca at the dock in Aswan. At the time I boarded it I was travelling alone. There were seven passengers on the felluca. Three Canadians, two Kiwi, me and a Chinese fellow. The trip cost $14 when book from the hotel. That included 4 days and 3 nights and all meals. Yes, that’s right, $14. Per person. I’m tempted to go back to Awan and spend the rest of my life riding up and down the Nice on a felluca. Just kidding.
