We made it into Egypt, crossed the deseret in the bus, took a plane to Aswan and boarded a cruise ship on the Nile River. The soil along the Nile is very fertile. Notice the green, lush vegetation long the shore and the desert beyond that.
Some of the sights along the way.
The Nile River is 4184 miles long, the longest river in the world.
Cool, see he is the same color as the rock.
More activity along the shores of the Nile. Interesting to note that Southern Egypt is called Upper Egypt, and Northern Egypt is called Lower Egypt, due to the fact that the river flows from South to North.
Cooling off on a hot day.
This is a cruise ship very much like the one we're on.
Fun to wave at as we pass by.
Time for prayer.
This was fun to watch, as they were right in front of our boat. "Hurry guys, we are much bigger than you!"
"Ah, made it, now we'll rest and watch you go by."
The end
AHHH the nile the source of so many tales. I would love to put my feet in it. Love "The End" picture.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see green again. The Nile is pretty, but different things around it than rivers we see.
ReplyDeleteOk, two things. My favorite picture is the first one. I like the green and lushness along the river bank and the dessert in the background. Really different. Then the picture of the men on the boat waving. Are they really waving or do they think you have guns? "Stick em' up"
ReplyDeleteThose 2 guys waving look like they are just about ready to bow. Or putting their hands up because someone is pointing a gun at them.
ReplyDeleteWonder if that baby camel changes color like rabbits do when the weather changes? Ha ha.
Love the. Last picture too. Super cute.
