Lunch on the felucca


Lunch on the felucca
Originally uploaded by bastchild.

After Abu Simbel, I returned to Aswan for my felucca ride. Four of the other passengers had spent the morning visiting the islands in the Nile at Aswan. We started off with a nice simple lunch of pita bread, feta cheese, mixed vegetables, and a tomato/egg curry. Very nice!
A felucca is the traditional sailboat used on the Nile. It actually was one of the nicest things I had done in Egypt. Food and bedding was provided for us for the two day/night trip down the Nile. The boat was crewed by two.
