One of the highlights of my 2009 trip to Egypt was a two day cruise along the Nile River. This was special as we took a traditional Feluca, rather than the steamers that paddle their way up and down the river. The slower pace and the relaxed atmosphere on board was brilliant and I wanted to capture that in a photo. On Christmas Day we had a vegetarian dinner and endured a near-freezing night. On the second day, I found my shot as we disembarked.
