Nile River Boat, Luxor, Egypt, 1998
Photograph by Richard T. Nowitz
A tourist boat silhouetted against the setting sun ferries its passengers down the Nile.
The thin green corridor of the Nile Valley is a mere 7.5 percent of Egypt's land. The contrasting green and umber of the Egyptian landscape forms a sharp line between fertile earth and parched desert. "The gift of the Nile—that's what the ancients called this country," said a local man.

图为黄昏时分,一艘旅游船在尼罗河渡口卸载乘客的情形的轮廓。
尼罗河谷那浅绿色的走廊占埃及领土的7.5%。这明显的绿色与埃及领地的焦茶色在肥沃的土地与沙漠间构成了明显的分割线。“祖先们称这个国家为—尼罗河的礼物”当地的居民说道。
图片为国家地理杂志1999年3月“进入独特的领土”拍摄,为发表。内容摘自该文。
