Egypt : Nile Cruise

Here are some photos from the St. George cruise down the Nile (water flows south to north). We started in Aswan & ended in Luxor, three nights total. It felt slightly weird to be on a cruise but we embraced it by eating a lot & attending all of the social functions. In the mornings we would depart from the boat & visit various sites by horse & carriage.

This is a shot taken out of our room on the boat.

All of the argiculture in Egypt is produced along the Nile.
There are lots of donkeys.

The temple of Queen Hatshipsut.

Horus the Falcon God.

The tour stopped at an Alabaster workshop which was suprisingly interesting.

Everything here was handmade using the same methods of the Ancient Egyptians.

Beautiful.

This was our tour guide, Moataz.

The road from Luxor to Karnak Temples is lined with sphinx.
It has the body of a Lion & the head of a human.

This is a video from the Galylea (traditional Egyptian dress) Party on the boat. We were playing a version of freeze dance. It was so much fun.
