Nubia

The homes in the area of southern Egypt known as Nubia are more colorful and reflect a diffent aesthetic, with African influences.


The white building is a restaurant or hotel.

Our group traveled on this small boat across the Nile to the temple of Philae.

A view from the boat.

On the left can be seen the upper Nile dam built by the British about a century ago.

One of the many ancient structures seen bordering the Nile.

The dock at Philae was occupied by the usual vendors, although less aggressive.  I bought several necklaces.
