Sitting in the water, Maab Ahmed moves instead of her bike to generate the force that pushes her forward as she walks on an ordinary bicycle on the surface of the Nile.
To walk over water, the bike must be mounted on a floating raft so it can be used to roam the surface of the Nile.
Maab, which introduced the activity to Egypt through a team or company named Nile Pike, says any ordinary bike can be turned into a water bike that way.
She says it is easier for people to come without a bicycle because it can take hours to mount a raft that turns it into a water bike.
It takes a team to prepare the water bike, and before completing the task, the team carefully checks that all parts are securely fastened in place and securely.
Members of the Nile Pike team explain that safety is the key and one factor to consider when choosing a touring site.
Sport and fun
"I wanted to make a new need in Egypt. I was thinking about a project," Maab Ahmed said. "I was thinking about a project. Then I said people are all going to eat. I want people to move and I want to work. I originally enjoyed myself. The simplest of people again. "
On the benefits of cycling over the Nile, she adds, "You are a wheeler in the Nile. You can do anything, imagine yourself, stand on the wheel, do any movements."
With regard to safety, Nile Pike team member Ahmed Abdel Sattar said, "We choose a specific place so that we can stay down and stay very safe in the subject, so that people who are always coming down put the issue of safety is number one for us."
The half-hour tour of the bike over the Nile costs 100 Egyptian pounds (about $ 6).
This activity means that cyclists in Egypt no longer have to stop at the water's edge, because it allows people to exercise even over the calm waters of the Nile.
