Yes the are boats there you can ride on.
Yes, but they can be swept away easily by a strong current in a river, as well.
The strong northerly winds combined with the southward flow of the river made it difficult for the ancient Egyptians to sail boats laden with goods against the current. This required the use of manpower or animals to pull the boats upstream, slowing down the transport process.
They used the river Nile. They built boats from papyrus reeds ranging in size from canoes to giant barges. The 750 or so miles (1200km) between the delta and the first cataract was slow moving enough to favour river transport. The winds were favourable as they usually blew in the oposite direction to the current. This meant it was possible to drift down the river on the current and sail up the river against the current.
The main means of transport in ancient Egypt were boats on the river nile. These ranged from small canoes to massive sailing barges usually made from papyrus reeds which grew along the river banks. Egypt had the advantage that the current and the prevailing wind went in opposite directions. It was possible to drift on the current going north and sail against the current going south.
