After our cruise we stopped in Aswan. Aswan’s
in an area of upper Egypt bordering Sudan, known as Nubia. We stayed in the Old
Cataract Hotel, the very place where Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile. The
hotel had a wonderful colonial feel to it and was a great base for further
exploring. First we went to the old souk,
which felt similarly steeped in the past. Here’s our afternoon visit.
