Nile River Merchants
The story of the following photos goes like this. We were all relaxing on the deck of our ship, tanning in the harsh Egyptian sun, when we hear some yelling, and see a whole collection of these boats coming towards us while we were waiting to pass through the loch. These men had absolutely no reservations about hooking on to our still moving boat, and they were obviously seasoned professionals! It was quite thrilling to witness this, being that I had never experienced it before. They all collected around our ship once they realized we were willing to purchase items, and began throwing things up on deck for us to look at. We could then haggle with them over the price, and they would throw another item up for us to put money in (they were in plastic bags), to throw back down. It was quite a fascinating experience! The following portraits are of these amazing men who make their living on the magical waters of the Nile.
