That is why we try to have more participants than seats in the boat. In 2013 we had 15 rowers and 2 C4x+’s. When you are not rowing you will enjoy Egypt's rich heritage. </span><br />

way of transport. These days the feluccas sail with tourists, the traditional
fisherman row in wooden rowboats and young Egyptians compete in modern rowing
shells. What connects all of them is that they all love the Nile. </span></i><i style="font-size: 14pt;">Rowing

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Carola, who
lives, works and rows in Egypt and Martin, as an experienced Dutch marathon
rower had the idea of rowing on the Nile. They teamed up and after one and a
half year of organizing they made their dream come true. A group of 15 experienced
rowers from the Netherlands, Germany and America rowed from Luxor to Cairo. A
distance of 720 kilometers in 10 days from the 26<sup>th</sup> of April to the
5<sup>th</sup> of May 2013. We rowed in
two Egyptian C4x+. That meant that every day 10 people would row and steer and
5 people could enjoy the rich Egyptian heritage and culture.</span></div>

participants arrived early in Luxor to visit the beautiful ancient monuments,
enjoy Luxor and to get accustomed to the heat. Their suitcases packed with
white shirts with long sleeves, sun hats, and sunscreen and water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
expedition started with a day of rigging the boats fit for the expedition,
making some test runs and getting to know each other.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first
day of rowing started with a ‘blessing’ ceremony with fresh flower leaves for a
safe journey by a representative of the Egyptian ministry of Tourism and made
us feel welcome. Rowing on the Nile past the Karnak Temple (Luxor) on star
board side and the Theban Necropolis on port side was the start of a beautiful
and gruelling expedition. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on a slow moving winding river, with palm trees and villages on the river banks.
On the smaller river arms of the Nile we
encountered a lush green scenery filled with birds and fisherman rowing traditional
boats. Sometimes when the river had made her way through an area with rocky
mountains we rowed with a barren desert on one side and cliff’s on the other. What
didn’t change was the blistering sun with temperatures up to 40 degrees
centigrade and drinking huge amounts of water and fresh juices. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
Egyptian government was very concerned about our well-being. That is why police
boats escorted us all the way on the water and when we drove in a convoy. It
was sometimes difficult to go out for an unplanned after dinner stroll with a
hotel lobby full of guards. But on the other hand in Qena a polite police
general accompanied us to the famous local mosque. Our lunch breaks in little
villages along the Nile proved that the Egyptian people were very friendly.
They provided us with fresh baked ‘sun bread’ , tea and shared the shade under
their trees. In the evening they assisted in lifting the boats out of the
water.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The crew
that did not row was enjoying Egypt’s rich heritage. Like the Pharonic, temple
in Karnak, the Coptic Red Monastry in Sohaq and the famous Islamic mosque in
Qena. They went with a minibus on dusty roads and through Egyptian villages
with friendly people and cattle on the road. Most participants also ‘enjoyed’ one
or two days of not rowing due to food poisoning, sleep deprivation, heatstroke or
exhaustion due to the daily distances of up to 90 km’s. Well……,we did call it
an ‘Expedition’ from the very beginning.</span></div>

Roeien op de Nijl van Luxor naar Caïro, dat had niemand durven dromen. Toch is het werkelijkheid geworden en het heeft de verwachtingen van de deelnemers en organisatie ruimschoots overtroffen. De onverwachte hitte maakte het zwaar. Met middagtemperaturen nabij de 40 graden celcius - hoger dan normaal - werd voldoende drinken en eten een grote uitdaging. Ook het gevaar van oververhitting schuilde overal. </span></strong><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Met dagafstanden tussen de 65 en 90 kilometer werd gekozen voor vroeg opstaan. Het transport naar de weinige hotels langs de route kostte veel tijd, waardoor er weinig tijd voor slaap was. Hier lag vermoeidheid op de loer. Ook het wennen aan het Egyptische eten viel sommigen zwaar. Voordeel was dat de Nijl tussen de 2 en 4 km per uur stroomde en er stroomafwaarts geroeid werd. De in de Nijldelta meestal aanwezige noordenwind zorgde op enkele deeltrajecten voor vervelende golven - waarin het maar moeizaam roeien was - maar de in Egypte gebouwde boten hielden zich goed.</span></strong><br />

De keuze om met twee C4-en (boten met 1 stuurplek en 4 roeiplekken) met plaats voor 10 roeiers en 15 roeiers te gaan betekende dat bij ziekte mensen eenvoudig gewisseld konden worden. Iedereen heeft zo 6 of 7 dagen geroeid. De landploeg volgde elke dag een toeristisch programma, variërend van de faraonische tempel Karnak in Luxor, het Koptische rode klooster in Sohaq tot de beroemde moskee van Qena.</span></span></span><br />

Soms snel stromend in nauwe passages onder overhellende rotswanden, dan weer rustig meanderend in een brede delta, of druk navigerend tussen vele eilandjes. De vissers op het water, de boeren op de vruchtbare akkers langs de Nijl en de mensen in de dorpjes tijdens de middagpauzes waren allemaal zeer vriendelijk. Opvallend waren de vele vogels, zoals de hop, lepelaar, ijsvogel en koereiger.</span></strong><br />

De roeiers werden glorieus binnengehaald door een armada van roeiboten, kano’s en motorbootjes met pers. Na afloop was er tijd voor interviews met verschillende televisiezenders, frisse douches en het afsluitende galadiner. Iedereen, waaronder de ambassadeur van de Nederlandse ambassade, was zeer geïnteresseerd in de avonturen van deze pioneers. Missie geslaagd en op naar de tweede editie! </span></strong></div>
