Nile River is believed to be originated from Burundi, south of
the equator which eventually flow through Egypt and finally dripping into the
Mediterranean sea. In fact Nile River Nile is formed from the two different
Niles, White Nile, which originates from the Lake Victoria, South Africa and
the Blue Nile which originates at Lake
Tana in Ethiopia. These two rivers met in Sudan and then travel a long journey to
reach its destination. Perhaps that is the reason why Nile River is also known
as the longest river in the world.
As you known, Egypt is a desert area which rain is almost
non-existence, that is why Nile River is fairly crucial to the
ancient Egyptians and even present time ...
Today, I am taking to you to take a sneak peek at how
the Egyptian merchants are doing the biz with the tourists which reside on
the cruise ship along the Nile River.

"I am throwing this merchandise to you and please take a look at it ..." So he did and we, the tourists staying at the cruise ship, are ready to catch the merchandises ... |
|
The stuff is leaving his hand ... |
|
Up in the air ... |
|
And he is waiting ... |
|
Start bargaining ... |
|
No .. No .. How about #^&*^ Egyptian pounds ... |
|
Next merchant ... |
Isn't it interesting? None of the tourists, at my ship, were actually bought anything from them --for whatever reason might be ... but it was definitely once a lifetime experience for us, for me, to witness how the Nile River not only providing food, transportation, and source of water for the Egyptians but also way of doing biz.
I hope you guys are enjoying the Bargaining at the Nile River ...
Until next stop,
Journey of Life
