Morning Itinerary: Cruising the Nile towards Luxor, Egypt
~ 25°C/75°F (at 8 am)

By Paul Bryers

This morning was beautiful, with ideal conditions for cruising down the Nile from Upper to Lower Egypt. The Egyptian Gods were smiling upon us…

The temperature was a pleasant 25°C/77°F (at ~ 8.30 am) on the top deck.

The river was peaceful, and fishermen were engaged in their daily activities.

There were a few birds around.

As we glided past a town, it appeared serene.

Upon reaching the old and new locks at Esna, friendly locals playfully attacked the boat, launching scarves and tablecloths. Fortunately, no one was physically injured, although some wallets were lightly impacted, with losses of a few dollars. 😃

So a great morning, but then I slept through our AMA Cruise Director (Sameh) Mandatory Disembarkation Talk, so I shall be in trouble..
