| After that, we traveled via motorboat to a Nubian village. Here, we visited one of the village homes, and Mary took her first camel ride. Typical of most village houses along the Nile, these houses were made of mud bricks and straw roofs. The mud kept the houses cool, and only straw was needed as it never rained. During our visit inside the house, we were told that before the dam was built and there was just one harvest, Nubians use to dry and store their food for the year in these baskets hung from the ceiling. |
