I am not sure whether there are any sailing dhows left on the Nile - has anyone been there recently?

Immediately after Dubai as it happens - Cairo for 3 days. Didn't see any dhows but did get to sail on a felucca. Only tourist feluccas in Cairo but I understand that there are working ones still elsewhere on the Nile so maybe there are dhows too.

Now in Manchester for 2 weeks - anyone have any suggestions on things to do here (other than work)? Only Ransome connection I can think of is the Manchester Guardian which is not exactly 'visitable'.
