Surfing Waves

Has anyone surfed in the nile river?? i heard you could at the very northern tip where the water goes into the mediterranean, its kinda like those wave pools that you can surf in kinda..its strange

The Nile is Egypt & brings life to the desert, a magnificent river, but it's also the sewer for 1/2 of Africa, not the best place to go for a swim. Make sure your Cholera & Typhoid jabs are up to date and only swim in fast moving currents & you could be ok. At least there's no crocs downstream of the Aswan dam anymore!

NB I forget the exact distance, maybe 5 miles, but the med is freshwater for miles out from the Nile due to the quantity of water coming out.

Morocco may be a better choice for a North African adventure - plenty of good atlantic surf and tons of cultural stuff in the imperial cities.
