While on our 5-day Nile River cruise in Egypt, we stopped at an island where we visited a farmer and his family, and we were shown around the area where he lives. For Norm’s Thursday Doors feature this week, here are some doors and other sights on Besaw Island.
Farmland on Besaw Island
The farmer showed us a banana plantation (he doesn’t own it) and told us about the process of growing bananas.
On our way to our host’s house, I took most of these photos.
Note the objects hanging from the top of this man’s door – pairs of cow hooves!
This door is at our host’s house.
Although the family’s house is small and they don’t have much, their house is neat and the food they served us was delicious!
Someone painted this door after the farmer (Sayeed) and his wife (Zena) got married, with beautiful flowers, hearts and Arabic writing.
Dale watches as group member Cary plays with one of the family’s children.
Wanderlust & Wonderment 
That looks pretty interesting to stop at a place that is not real crowded and how great to eat the local food.
That must have been a wonderful adventure. Thanks for letting me tag along.

Really cool to see pictures of a farm so far away. Especially loved the pale blue & the pale blue doors. They’ve lived some life😊.

Lovely doors, especially the illustrated green one and the blue one. It’s a privilege to see life from these places that I most likely won’t ever visit.
