The Black Land - The Gift of the Nile
Egypt
is the Gift of the Nile, the only place in the world where a river
dares to cut across a thousand miles of desert to reach the sea,
creating a civilization along its course.
The river is literally the lifeline of Egypt. The largest cities and towns are located along the banks of the Nile. Roads follow its course. This particularity makes it very easy for the traveler to see the wonders of ancient Egyptian civilization. On a Nile cruise, the beautiful landscape passes along like a time still scenario. To both sides, you see stretches of agricultural land where the people work and live. This is the Black Land, cultivated soil jutted here and there by fig palms and other various trees.
