Egypt > River Nile Cruise & Sites (8 files)

Photographs in this gallery show daily life along the River Nile mainly from the cruises I have undertaken over the past 10 years or so. Sites that border the Nile are included although the major temples visted have their own dedicated sites such as Edfu and Kom Ombo. One of the enjoyments of the Nile cruise is the tranquility of watching 'life go by' usually characterised by the friendliness of those you pass whether boatmen or farm workers as well as seeing wild birds close at hand. The other aspect is the service on the cruiseboats from friendly crews and the chance to relax after hectic and often crowded temple visits.
Esna Nile Romance EG02519jhp Egypt River Nile cruiseboat Romance Esna berthed livery design cruise modern photograph the journey from Luxor to Aswan by cruiseboat offers a peaceful way to see modern day Egyptian life that occurs along the banks of this historic major African river and which still plays an important part in the wealth of Egypt and in the lives of ordinary Egyptians today just as it has over the past 5000 years or so. During 2005 I experienced the busiest time on the Nile I had seen with convoys of cruiseboats and this photo is taken in 2002 above at Esna Lock where there was a delay for several hours waiting to make progress southwards and allowed for a rare visit to the delightful Ptolemaic-Roman Esna Temple. Probably in 2012 following the marked drop off in tourism following the Arab Spring and subsequent political problems scenes like this will not be happening.
