Dinner on the Nile River in Cairo, Egypt

We had dinner on this river boat. It was getting dark as we arrived and we were rushed for time so I only got this one picture of the boat on the Nile River. You can see how polluted the water is - it looks black and has sludge on top of the water that seems almost stagnate.

Our dinner was delicious hummus with bread (the best part), spaghetti, chicken, and desserts made with large amounts of honey - they tasted like they were soaked in honey and absorbed it like a sponge. The dessert with coconut was the best. The hummus was the best part of dinner for me.
We were told to only eat food that was cooked - no salad or fresh fruit unless we peeled it ourselves. Only a few of us tried dessert, I didn't get sick but did wonder if the others were just more cautious than me.

We had some entertainment with this gentleman dancing to music. He was very good at twirling with the skirt. It was very interesting and I've never seen anything quite like it. In the U.S. we would have seen a woman doing this type of dancing. The cultural differences are many in this regard.
