Reed boats were used forhunting marine animals, trading along the Nile, and traveling along the big river.
Reed boats were important in Ancient Egypt becasue they were sea-worthy when made correctly and could ship goods upand down the nile. Reed and later wood boats made alexandria and other Eqyptian coastal citys major ports of trade.
The Ancient Egyptians used several types of boats, primarily for transportation, trade, and fishing. Common types included the papyrus reed boats, which were lightweight and used on the Nile, and larger wooden boats for carrying goods and people over longer distances. Additionally, they had specialized vessels like the solar boats used in burial practices for the pharaohs. Overall, the diversity of boats reflects their reliance on the Nile River for daily life and commerce.
Actually, Ancient Egypt had considerable contact with surrounding civilizations. They traded with the Mycenae, Greek, Hittite, Syrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, and Thor Heyerdahl discovered they took reed boats to the civilizations of India. He also showed they had the ability to visit The Americas in their reed boats.

Take Bark and rap reed around it. Do this with more peices of Bark. Then tie all of the Bark with Reed together with more reed. Thats how to make the reed boat. I'm not sure about the Papyrus boats though.....
they traveled in thick reed boats, camels or wagons but only so far...
