⭐⭐⭐ -- Fascinating but a bit dry at times

I have been slogging through this one for a while now. That's not to say that I found it boring. There is a lot of fascinating and interesting stuff here. This book is a mix of both the history of the Nile and the author's travels. I found the history parts to be the most interesting, and the travel parts a bit dry. Which is rather perplexing because it is usually the opposite.

Informative and interesting, my dad gave it to me as a Birthday gift knowing how much I would enjoy it.

It was a fascinating and informative read, I learned a lot about the Nile.
The author tells us about the different areas where the Nile flows.
It's part a travelogue and part historical/geographical/politcal essay.
It found it interesting.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
