The temple at Kom Ombo had many interesting reliefs some of which are shown here. Upper left is part of the ceiling painted showing the wings of Isis. Upper right shows many of the symbols. Lower left shows a woman giving birth. Lower right shows a mother nursing a youngster. Center is a portion of a number table.
On our last full day aboard the dahabiya we stopped at the town of Daraw to see the camel market. Because we are a small boat, we can pull up almost anywhere. For Daraw, we tied up a little outside of town where we were met by "taxis" for transport into and around town. .
At the market, the camels are hobbled so they can't wander too far. They do hop around a bit. There are NO women in the market. At least I didn't see one. The men seem to haggle over the price of the animals (not just camels), smoke their water pipes, wander around and sit and schmooze.
If you're buying camels, you also need the accessories - the harnesses, ropes, knives, etc. And as long as you're shopping how about some fresh meat?
