One thing is for sure, Egypt wouldn’t be Egypt without the Nile, it’s the primary water source and most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along the Nile valley north of Aswan and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along the riverbanks.

We got to make two trips on the Nile, in Luxor and Cairo. I could almost imagine seeing Moses mother drop his basket onto the river in search for safety, but of course I didn’t, but instead we got to see birds, cows and spectacular sites along the river.
