In remembering all the movies and literature of Egypt that I had
seen before, I imagined a dry, hot country landscaped with nothing
but sand, pyramids, crypts, and stone houses. Oh was I wrong! Lush
greenery and amazing landscapes exists throughout the country. It
was interesting how from the airplane view that "squares" of
greenery
existed almost in a checker board fashion alternating from lush
greenery to golden sand. Which by the way, the Egyptian sand feels
like silk in your hands. |
