I have never seen the Nile as low as this before

the nile receded 1ft in the night leaving many boats  stranded on the bottom.

The garbage boat men having a brew these men actually sleep on the garbage boats

Shells and shell fish  stranded  on the banks of the receding Nile

balloons that try and land in the wet lands.
