Description:
Traveling by dahabiah, a well-appointed sailing craft peculiar to the Nile, and armed with sketch-book and measuring tape, Amelia Edwards carefully recorded all she saw of the temples, graves, and monuments - even discovering a buried chapel of her own - and provided in A Thousand Miles Up The Nile the first general archaeological survey of Egypt's ruins.
