  • The two-masted sailboat, the traditional Egyptian felucca, is being used for freight -- a load of stone blocks (granite? marble?)  One crew member stands at the rudder while the other jumps off the bow into the water, holding the rope for tying it up.  Masts, sails, and jumper are all reflected in the still river water.

  • Riverscape, with the city in the distance.  In the foreground, a wooden rowboat, its oars held by the husband, while his wife sits opposite smiling gently.  Though clearly poor they radiate dignity, kindness, and trust.  A water jar hangs off one gunwale, and a fishing net off the opposite gunwale.  A canvas covers the rest of their belongings in the prow.  See the book "Khuul Khaal" by Nayra Atiya to learn more about them.  The rowboat is their home.
