Egypt - Luxor - الأقصر - al-Uqṣur - Ancient Thebes - Θῆβαι - Thēbai - طيبة‎ - UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site on banks of river Nile - Sailing in Felucca (boat) in the evening time

 

A felucca is a sea-craft, made to a traditional design, with broad canvas sails. Essentially, the craft is reliant on wind-power with no motor, and are dependent upon the wind factor to propel forth, so itineraries are subject to change from time to time. The craft carries between 5-10 passengers comfortably and the deck is strewn with soft colorful cushions and rugs and equipped with a canopy that offers shade and protection from the elements.

 

Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II; Lens: 28-300mm; Focal length: 109.00 mm; Aperture: 5.6; Exposure time: 1/25 s; ISO: 1600
