Description: Plan a rowing adventure and row the Nile in Egypt with expert guides Hatem Kandeel and Ayman Kamal. Timestamps 01:00 Hateem Kandeel's rowing background with the Arab Contractors Rowing Team I wanted to row from Aswan to the Mediterranean 04:00 I have no problem rowing for hours on the erg for 4-5 hours. People told me I couldn't do a long row like this. 06:00 2021 was my planned date for the row. The Nile can be very rough so I planned to use a coastal boat. I started on 1 June 2021 and it took 23 days and 5 stops to get to Cairo. Then 9 days from there to the sea. 08:00 The Environment Minister asked me to be an ambassador for the environment around the Nile. I got on TV and the news. The goal was awareness of the care of the river and the health of the people. 09:30 The theme for 2022 is Social Responsibility for the Nile Row. Three goals 1 - Never pollute the Nile. Take the oath. Change the mindset of people 2 - Help Egyptians understand their history using NFTs technology. With a revenue share with the Tourism industry via government. 3 - Spread rowing around the country. Rowing is the official sport for Aswan Province now. We are also talking to UN Women to support women and rowing. 14:00 We plan to make Row the Nile an annual event around new year's time During 2022 it will be done twice - once in May and once in December - January 2023.
