The river of life

The young Nashaat's journey from Aswan to Alexandria helps him get to know his own country in depth: The imposing pharaonic ruins, the vestiges of the Ottoman and Muslim era and contemporary Egypt are the stops on this trip. On his trip he meets the temples of Abu Simbel and Fila rescued from the waters of Lake Nasser to the south; the temples of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings; the Mosques and the bustle of Cairo; or the Mediterranean in Alexandria.
