On the road again…. bus ride fro Abu Simbel to Aswan

3 hour Bus ride from Abu Simbel to Aswan so we can get on our river boat, or dahabeya. We will be spending 5 nights cruising the Nile river on a small boat that holds 16 passengers(we only have 9 tourists on the boat). This allows us to stop in very shallow water on banks of the river where the bigger river boats can’t stop. We will travel from Aswan to Luxor on the Dahabeya.

Our bus stopped on the Tropic of Cancer (30 degrees north latitude) on the way to Aswan. This was to stretch our legs and walk barefoot in the Sahara desert.
