This was one heck of a good time! From the town of Luxor, we managed to catch a last minitue opening on a crusie ship heading to Aswan. There are occasional stops along the way for historical sites of interest.

Whenever I have traveled in countries that rely heavily on the tourist industry, there always people around offering their goods and services… Egypt was no different, however, I was suprised to see this operating on the Nile! In the picture, you can see the row boats (filled with mechandise) connected to other row boats tethered to the cruise ship.

I applaud their efforts, and was coaxed into buying a rug.
