    Ancient Egyptian civilization relied heavily on water transport via the Nile River and other waterways. Small boats called felucas were commonly used to travel along the Nile River. Larger ships used sails to harness prevailing winds and oars to move through the water, allowing ancient Egyptians to engage in extensive trade and transportation via the region's water routes.
