Where desert meets the river
Scenic framing of a prominent sand dune and desert hill sloping down towards the water, showcasing the vast and arid nature of the surrounding desert, which extends close to the river in this region. The water reflects the clear blue sky above, which dominates the upper portion of the image.
On the crest of the hill, a series of rock cut tombs - the Tombs of the Nobles - usually called the tombs of Qubat El Hawa, are
carved into sandstone cliffs overlooking the Nile River. An historical and archaeological significant landmark. This meeting of the desert and the river has historically been crucial for Egyptian civilization.
A bird in flight, possibly a seagull, adds a dynamic element to the scene, providing a sense of scale and natural life within this unique ecosystem.
Shot from Aswan west bank, capturing the dramatic juxtaposition of water and desert, fertility and aridity, that defines the landscape along the Nile. A striking contrast between the verdant banks of the Nile River and the arid desert landscape.
