タンザニアからエジプトに向かって流れる世界第２位の長さを誇るナイル川。古代エジプト文明は、この川に沿って反映し、そして今現在も、この川の流域に都市が広がる。「エジプトはナイル川の賜物」というほど重要なナイル川、ぶっちゃけゴミが浮きまくり、色は濁ってお世辞にも綺麗だとは言えないけれど、でもゆっくり雄大に流れるその様子に、壮大さを感じたりしながら眺める橋の上。

DAY538 Timelapse of the Nile
The Nile is the world's second longest river that goes from Tanzania to Egypt. Ancient Egyptian civilization developed alongside the river and remained even in the modern time. Although Herodotus used to say "the Egypt is the gift of the Nile." representing the importance of it, it is far from being clean with all the trash floating on the muddy water. However looking down the river flow from the bridge, wide and slow, I could feel the grandeur of the Nile.
