Nile river – the legendary river that created ancient Egyptian civilisation, with pyramids, temples, buildings and mausoleums…and their reputation spreaded milleniums ago. Generations have been researching and exploring for centuries, but no historians or scientists in the world could find a satisfactory answer to the question whether the ancient Egyptians had created the masterpieces themselves, or a supernatural force had intervened in the great work that still remains to be mysterious?
Being the only river in the world that flows in reverse direction from South to North, the Nile is like a jade-coloured silk scarf lying across the desert, accompanied by wind-blown white little sailboats.
