The Legendary Nile River with Cheeky In this episode, we head to the legendary Nile River and chat with local Egyptian felucca and dahabiya builder / captain / businessman Mahmoud, known as 'Cheeky', whose life and work have been shaped by this incredible river. Cheeky is calling out for New Zealanders and Australians to come back and sail the Nile in the numbers that they used to, he misses us! Mahmoud’s journey began by learning to sail a traditional felucca. From those beginnings, his passion for the Nile grew, eventually leading him to build his own felucca and later his own dahabiya — a beautiful, traditional sailing boat offering a unique way to experience Egypt. A chance for listeners to connect directly with one of the people who make our holidays happen at ground ( or river ) level.
