We are again cruising further down river on the Nile. These are some more scenes taken from the Sun Deck of our river boat.

The first photo is an unknown (to us anyway) ancient city on the Nile. We didn’t pass lots of these sites, but more than a few. They just sit there, right on the river, not being utilized or excavated or anything – ancient ghost towns. I could have a great time just stopping on my own and walking around sites such as this one.

The second photo is a very typical scene. Many places on the river had ground that was just a bit higher than the river level. On these areas, there was very intensive agriculture, plus they kept many farm animals here to eat when they weren’t working the fields. With the rich soil and plenty of water, these crops appeared extremely vigorous. The guys in the boat on the river were probably fishing.

The last photo was a scene that we saw frequently along the river. It was wash day for many people as we cruised down the Nile.
