They used the river Nile. They built boats from papyrus reeds ranging in size from canoes to giant barges. The 750 or so miles (1200km) between the delta and the first cataract was slow moving enough to favour river transport. The winds were favourable as they usually blew in the oposite direction to the current. This meant it was possible to drift down the river on the current and sail up the river against the current.
