The Nile is Egypt and Egypt is the Nile" - thus ran the classical wisdom of Herodotus and it is as true today as it ever was.
Today, as it was 6000 years ago, life hugs the banks of the Nile and its fertile river valley. The ancient monuments scattered along the riverbanks contain the history of vital power struggles for control of the river and its territories, while even where historic relics are sparse, the life of the fellahin, the Egyptian peasant, continues at an almost changeless pace.
