132 THE MONUMENTS OF UPPER EGYPT.
in company with a dragoman and a number of
fellow-travellers whom one has never seen be-
fore. Egypt, however, cannot be seen and
known in this manner; only a vague idea of her
many beauties and her vast interest can thus be
obtained, and the saving of time and of money
can scarcely compensate for so serious a draw-
back. But unfortunately in these fast days of
ours, when everything is done in a hurry, and
every man seems to run a race against time,
the steamer is in general demand, and the jour-
ney by dahabiah has become a voyage de luxe.
So much the worse for Egypt, which cannot be
done justice to in a visit d la vapeur.
The antiquities which may be seen from the
banks of the Nile, or which are described in the
guide-books, are very numerous. We will only
stop at those of real archaeological interest, and
with which it is indispensable for the traveller
to become acquainted.
