Luxor, Egypt

Sunset on the Nile river riding a fulecca.


We took a Felluca boat trip for a few hours. I expected more of a rustic type boat with a historic feeling, but rather they were a semi-modern type of sail boat with space for a handful of passengers. Also to go upstream they used a tug boat to take us to this island they call Banana Island. We weren't too interested and just chatted with the locals on the bank as they smoked shisha. The wind wasn't in our favor so we rowed a little bit. And then just drifted back using the current of the river as we watched the sun set.

Beautiful lamps sold in the Souq

When we left Banana Island we realized Wai lost her hat in the bottom of the Nile. :( So we set forth to look for one in the Souq but of course we couldn't find anything we wanted. The only thing that did catch our eye was these intricate lamps.
