We cruised on a Nile River boat from Luxor to Aswan and return. It provided photo opportunities that give some insight into Egypt today. Used the 70-300mm lens for these photos.

These are really interesting, thanks! Which cruise line did you use? We have talked about this cruise area for a while, people seem to enjoy it and feel safe.

The adding of levels to houses to accommodate family expansion is not confined to Egyptian rural communities. You can also see it in city neighborhoods like Luxor and Cairo. There is reportedly also some sort of tax benefit to living in a home that’s still under “construction.” 🤔😏

We chose Uniworld as the best value at the time. We found them excellent all the way.

Hereford:
We may not have always seen the same things - which makes great viewing - but we went up the same river about a month apart --
Good looking shots --

"We chose Uniworld"
We have been on Uniworld for 8 cruises already, they are the best, above and beyond Viking. Other passengers on these cruises have all said the Egypt trip was wonderful. It's on our list!
