Nile Cruise

Back in 1997, we took a two week cruise up and down the nile. It was with a company that had activities and tourist locations planned every day, so we got to see a lot of the country that borders the river. They also organized a camel ride to a small town where we had tea.

It was amazing fun. We’ve taken away so many happy memories of that trip. If you can find something similar, I highly recommend it.

I went here on my first holiday with my recently ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately we arrived at the airport and his holiday suprise to me was we were going with his parents. He then spent the whole holiday drunk in the pool whilst I was forced to stay with his mother. When we got home I realised how little I meant to him and finished it. Egypt changed my life cos now I have a fresh start and to do that I have to be THIN!

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.
