This book presents a ground-breaking view of the navigational landscape of the Nile in medieval Egypt. It charts the changing geography of the Nile waterways from the eve of Islam to the early modern period. It then presents a new perspective on the Nile, drawing on traveler accounts and environmental data to portray the river as a uniquely challenging and sometimes dangerous navigational environment.Finally, it looks at how the main Delta and Red Sea ports fitted into the navigational landscape. It explains how these ports were effected by and reflected the navigational conditions of the Nile and surrounding seas.
