The Land of Egypt

From inside the coach.

The land is like this all the way......

Plenty of cactus.

But not too many trees.

Travelling around 30mph.

.....down the whole length of the Nile.

Or is that cactii?

So obviously not too many dogs....

Farmland aplenty.

Another shot.

Telegraph poles everywhere.

People bathed and cleaned.

But not many farmers....

....well, it was hot.

Until the Aswan Dam was built.......

.....the land flooded every year.

Note the palm trees with dates.

The Desert.

From the Train going to Aswan.

Our hotel. Just kidding.

One of my favourite pictures.

Oops! Wrong turning.

It took nearly 12 hours.

And no - we didn't walk up it!
