I wanted to stop and note down some
things about the Nile River. The Egyptian Nile surpasses all rivers of the
earth in sweetness of taste, length of course, and utility (Document F). No
other river has as many cities and villages around it, because so many people
use it as a major source of their life; water. I believe the Nile was a gift
from heaven, giving so many a source of water in the Sahara Desert. This river
is keeping so many alive with its great food and water supply. I traveled into
Upper Egypt with the intentions in crossing the Hijaz (Document F). I stayed at
the monastery Dayr-at-Tin on the first night. The monastery was built to hold sacred relics. I stayed here for a very
short period of time, making my way
through more areas. Here we crossed the Nile and, hiring camels, journeyed with
a party of Arabs through a desert, totally devoid of settlements but quite safe
for traveling (Document F). In one area
we stopped for the night because the area was infested with hyenas, so we had
to keep driving them away by screaming and making loud obnoxious noises. One of
the better stops was at Aydhab. At Aydhab, we were supplied with a great amount
of fish and milk. The people there were very helpful and friendly with us, and
hopefully they will be repaid in the future.
I like the way you described the Nile River and how it helps so many lives. It's hard to believe how vital water is to the human race. It affects almost all aspects of our lives.
