【Travel around the 🌍 world】Egypt 🇪🇬. Aswan Felucca on the Nile River.

Felucca, the triangular sailboat القارب الشراعي . Time: 2019.09.28 Address: Banks of the Nile, Aswan, Egypt . On the banks of the Nile in Aswan, there are many triangular sailboats drifting, which rely entirely on wind power and do not cause pollution. The captains often claim to be Nubians, an ancient ethnic group that has lived in southern Egypt to northern Sudan since ancient Egypt. Walking along the riverbank, there are often boatmen who come to solicit customers. At sunset, hire a small boat to float on the Nile, watch the sunset, blow the wind on the Nile, feel the temperature of this ancient land, and feel the surging of the Nile, the river of life. Aswan, in ancient Egyptian language, is called "Swenet", meaning "trade", which later evolved into "As-Suan". However, from ancient Egypt to the present, its pronunciation has always been "Aswan". The most beautiful section of the Nile River is located in Aswan, and the cleanest city is also in Aswan. Starting from entering Aswan, you will notice that the locals have darker skin than Egyptians, with obvious differences, known as "Nubians". Except for the 25th dynasty of ancient Egypt (the 100 years ruled by the Kush dynasty), Nubia has always existed as a vassal state of Egypt. Aswan was the richest place in ancient Egypt, producing granite, lapis lazuli, turquoise, gold, and so on. The stone used for the temples and obelisks of ancient Egypt all came from here. .
