We took a motorized boat to the Nubian village that was across the river. It was fun to visit and not awkward at all. We saw the crocodiles that they keep inside the house and Leslie got a henna tattoo. We then went to a local school where we donated colored pencils and coloring books. Then we rode the boat back to the bus
It was surprisingly rural
Very few people
Lots of wildlife
