De Nile is the River of Egypt

As we finished touring the West Bank of Luxor, my friend Claro and I headed to the East Bank (Land of the Living), via a river boat cruise on the Nile.

Our boat was captained by Muhammad and his "crew".
Say "CHEESE!"

Claro sporting a Rico Suave' pose. LoL.

A lone sailor out on his felucca ....

and a boat load of tourists.... "all in de - Nile". LoL.

Now here's something you don't see everyday.

Almost at the end of our cruise...

Claro looking at the "Temple of Luxor" ahead.

Muhammad's son expertly maneuvered the

boat close to our hotel dock.

Our hotel looming closer....

We stopped at our hotel for a lunch break, and then met up with Nubi, our tourguide, for the remainder of our tour on the East Bank.

More ancient ruins to follow....
