The Nile River Runs from north to south, so they could ride the river on a boat.
The ancient Egyptians traveled north to south along the Nile River because the river's current flows from south to north. This made it easier for them to navigate and transport goods. Traveling east to west was more difficult due to the harsh desert landscape, which made it harder to travel and limited the availability of resources.
The river Nile is a slow moving river ideal for water transport. An added bonus was the prevailing wind which blew from north to south. This allowed you to drift with the current when going north and sail against the current in the opposite direction.
Good

The north-south Nile River boats facilitated travel far better than moving by foot or donkey in other directions.

instead of building great roads like the Romans, the Egyptians made use f the Nile river. to travel north, they let sails down and let the current carry them. to travel south, they raised sails and followed the trade winds.
If you are standing precisely at the South pole, you can only travel north.
You would travel south.
