View from the Nile
One of the most interesting facts that we learned on our trip to Egypt is that 95% of Egyptians live with 12 miles of the Nile River.
It is truly amazing to think that one single natural landmark could completely dominate an entire country's prosperity as greatly as the Nile River dominates the Egyptian way of life!
Of course that is until you actually experience this river, which is truly amazing in and of itself.
Review Helpfulness: 
Sarah holding a baby croc!
In the Nubian Villages, they raise baby crocodiles... so make sure you ask to hold one!
Review Helpfulness:
Mohammed having a Houka in the Nubian Village
In Egypt, narcotics are illegal, however you will see several people on the streets smoking this bowl of tobacco.... have a Houka!
