There are shipyards along the bank of the Nile - upstream, downstream and in the heart of the fishing village. These boats are built primarily of wood. The lumber is imported from Eastern Europe, entering through the nearby Damietta Port. Amazing, huh?

Thank you to Bashmohandes Ezzat for taking me on this wonderful Nile Cruise in our own backyard. He took the photo on the right. He is a great engineer, a kind friend and a pretty good photographer. Thanks, Bashmohandes!
