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.

The lady of the Nubian House showed us the house and explained about the Nubian traditions and customs and of course she invited us to drink a glass of tea. Drinking a glass of tea is very common everywhere in North Africa and the Middle East.

In 1983 we visited in a Nubian village near Aswan a Nubian house.
The lady of the house showed us her house and yard and explained their customs.
So they stored their drinkwater in a stone jar to keep the water cool.

Just north of the Aswan dam along the Nile are the villages of the Nubians who were displaced by the filling of Lake Nassar. Aswan is the center of Nubian culture in Egypt.
