Napoleon's Army Marches towards Cairo

After landing in Egypt and seizing Alexandria, Napoleon's army faced its first challenge in expanding their foothold and gaining access to the Nile River. The French troops faced a lack of water, and some soldiers resorted to drinking from the Nile, leading to illness and even death. However, the soldiers pressed on, with one column facing particularly harsh conditions in the desert. Despite the hardships, the army of the Orient managed to reach Damanur, where they finally found water and relief.
