13 January 2024 Esna: We Dress Like Egyptians, We Dance With Nubians

 


Once we were back on the ship it was a short sail and then the tour of the bridge began.  Neither of the Captains spoke English so we had a translation session.  We saw odd forms of fishing, burning of the fields, birds, boats and more.  Then it was "Dress like an Egyptian" dinner and the Nubian Dancers to end yet another fun filled day


Selling gold and silver.  Word on the ship was that several women spent 10,000 and more on jewelry


Burn ban=by burn


This is why it was so smoky

Exercising the horse


Floating pumps come to the fields that need water


A balancing act


Hit the water?


Are they trying to stun a fish?
