Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the adventure of an invalid and her husband as they set off on a winter voyage along the river Nile in 1869 without a dragoman, the traditional English-speaking tour guide who would normally make all the necessary arrangements for an upriver trip on a dahabiyeh, a type of riverboat used by tourists. The book is full of practical advice for anyone seeking to travel independently in Egypt, with detailed information on everything from the provisions to take to how to avoid getting ripped off by locals. The author's descriptions of the people they encounter and the places they visit offer a valuable historical record of Egypt and its people in the mid-19th century, as seen through the eyes of an intelligent and curious woman traveler.
