As we headed down the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, we spent many hours on the pool deck. The following are a handful of the way too many photos I snapped. For the most part, the activities we watched along the waterfront have not changed substantially over hundreds of years.

| The pool deck was perfect for an evening cocktail, and on our boat, there were never more than a handful of guests taking advantage of the wonderful views. With overnight temperatures dipping into the 50's, the pool stayed chilly, even though daytime temps rose into the 80's. |
