So I've kept out of the way as far as possible. Hence on Friday I retreated to el-Baeirat hotel again. But there was very little activity on the river or in the skies. One dahabiya with a few guests going for a tow.
In the evening I needed to sort out a request from a German acquaintance, so I ate at el-Nakhil. Not much of the menu is available, but what there is seems to be freshly prepared. I've added one picture of a local crafts shop but won't bore you with one of a belly dancer entertaining a group of Italians by the pool at Sheherazade.
