It's true to say that one of Egypt's most alluring beauties is the River Nile, longest river in the world, and source of all life in Egypt. Anyone that has been here will understand it's captivating power.
Today, as I sit lazingly at the side of this great waterway, I know that I am where I want to be, drinking from it's majesty and enjoying it's splendour. To accompany the beauty of the water, is the warmth of the sun, today a delightful 38 degrees Celsius, and after the total washout of the 2011 summer in the UK, its warmth against my skin is so inviting.
In just a few days I will be embarking on my second Nile Cruise, sailing down the River and feeling the water caressing the bowels of the boat as it glides south to Aswan, affording me another opportunity to drink in the sights of Egypt as the landscape passes by, and it's a landscape to beat all others. The banks of the Nile have been described as the biggest open air museum on earth, well, that's a pretty good description of it, as everywhere you look there is something amazing to see, pure unadulterated beauty laid before you, in a world that perhaps time forgot, and one that I hope it never catches up with.
