Egypt | A laid-back day tour across 'Death on the Nile' in Aswan

| A laid-back day tour across 'Death on the Nile' in Aswan. To be honest, the Aswan experience is too good (apart from the heat). The hotel we stayed at was right by the Nile River, and the next day when I opened the window, there was the Nile, shimmering in gold. The masts of the feluccas gently swayed, and having breakfast in such a scene, no amount of heat or sun could scare us away. 🛶 Nile River Cruise ⛵️ Felucca On the way to Nubian Village by boat, we experienced the unique felucca, isn't this the scene from the movie 'Death on the Nile'? The Nile and the deserts on both banks were radiating golden light, and there were white birds perching. 🚢 Cruise Ship We had booked the cruise in advance, a three-day two-night journey from Aswan to Luxor, but later we found out that we could directly find a boat on the shores of Aswan and book on the spot if satisfied. 🌈 Nubian Village In ancient times, Nubia was an independent small kingdom, and today these minorities living on Egyptian land are descendants of primitive tribes, still maintaining their unique tribal culture. At first, I thought I had arrived at a large kindergarten, with the houses' exterior walls and decorations in bright colors, extremely high in color saturation, especially dazzling on a sandy slope, and even the camels here were dressed in a playful style. 🐊 Kom Ombo Temple Taking a cruise from Aswan to Luxor, there are many attractions to stop and visit along the way. In the evening, the cruise reached the Kom Ombo Temple, located on the hills of the eastern bank of the Nile. Unlike ordinary temples, this is the only double temple in Egypt, with the left side dedicated to the falcon-headed sun and war god Horus (Harus), and the right side to the crocodile-headed fertility god Sobek (Sobek). 🏠 Accommodation Isis Hotel The hotel is right on the banks of the Nile River, and if it weren't for the signature river view, you might think it was a riverside park. The garden is picturesque, and from the window, you can see the clear Nile. Breakfast was average, with not many varieties; I just had a glass of juice and took two biscuits before getting on the ship to appreciate the Nile.
