Nile Without a Dragoman

This 1871 narrative by Frederic Eden describes how, unable to afford the normal European resource of a 'dragoman' (an Egyptian guide and factotum for all negotiations with the natives), he rented a river boat, and successfully sailed to Wadi Halfa (traditionally the furthest point in a Nile expedition), and back.
