What did the pharaohs use for transportation?

Answer 1

Be specific. If it's for getting through the Nile, the best transportation is a boat. However, if he wanted to go a short distance, it would be either be walking or servants carrying him. If he wants to get to the destination faster, he would either use a chariot or ride a horse.

Answer 2

On the Nile they certainly travelled by boat or barge. On land they were carried on a throne by several strong guys, or for shorter distances they simply walked. To travel longer distances on land, the chariot was the fastest if not the most comfortable.

Answer 3

the main mode of transport were boats on the River Nile. These ranged from small canoes to large barges for carrying heavy loads. As wood was scarce and expensive these were usually made from reeds which grew along the banks of the Nile. Only sea-going ships and galleys owned by the nobles or the Pharaoh were made from imported timber. The Egyptians were lucky because the prevailing wind and the current went in opposite directions. You could drift down river with the current and sail back up the river against the current.

On land peasants used donkeys as pack animals. Horses were used to draw chariots they were not ridden and were too valuable for pulling carts.

Porters carried loads on their shoulders or on their heads.

Rich people including the Pharaoh were carried in palanquins.

Heavy loads such as large stones, obelisks and statues were often placed on sledges dragged by gangs of slaves.

Foot, animal, boat.
