DDriving the short distance from the Nile back to the desert road is stunning. All the green.  The Nile Valley is amazing....dates, bananas, grapes, oranges, cabbage, corn etc.

Along the road every few Kms there are water stops.  Most people here ride donkeys and it is hot.

I asked one of the men at Edfu where he lived and he said that it was twenty minutes that way (pointing) by donkey.
