Nubian Mosque EG052598JHP 
 Seheil Island Aswan Egypt Nubian Village Mosque Dome Crescent colourful with its genuine sense of colour and distinctive desert shapes for buildings that remain cool in the heat of southern Egypt on this island near Aswan amongst the River Nile cataracts. The main reason for this private excursion by motorboat was to visit the rock carvings which cover this boulder strewn part of the Nile recording many events throughout the ancient history of the Egyptian Empire spanning some 3000 years.
