A beautiful afternoon sailing the Nile at sunset. After a wobbly start getting going (hadn't bargained for the tip of the boat during the sail) we really enjoyed quietly sailing along just past Banana Island. The West Bank is really beautiful- lush with palm trees and houses dotted. The east bank is more hotels. Really enjoyed watching the sunset from the boat, a great way to spend a couple of hours.
