Central Egypt in Pictures

Sunset over the fields of alfalfa.
Our dinner spread at the hotel... lots of little dishes of Middle Eastern favorites like tabouleh, cucumber spread, fresh cut vegetables, tahini, and baba ghanoush.
At the pharmacy, they aren't real creative with their medicine names. Guess what this is supposed to do?
A young boy drives the family cart for his mom and sister through the streets on Minya.
We spotted this young woman atop a harvest of alfalfa greens piled on top of her donkey... what a ride!
You can see the canal walls and the trash the people just dump into their only water source.
A green field of alfalfa.
A local GAS STATION... check it out!
A bustling group of gal pals walking the street.
I just think this man looks so cool.
Walking the kids to school.
A "took took" scooter things and a man on his bike in a jalabia on his bike.
Everyone shares the same streets.
Street-scene from our bus ride.
Again, everyone shares the same streets.
Sunset in the desert.
These are what their group taxi rides look like.
One of the villages we passed on the road.
