This afternoon We take a felucca. Feluccas are the traditional sailboats of the Nile and a neat trip to Kitchners Island, This island is named
after Lord Herbert Kitchner, this brings to light another period of Egyptian history. Kitchner served in the British military in Egypt for many years, in 1911 he was named
consul general.

The British left their mark on Egypt in many ways, they had a great interest in archaeology. They made many great finds as we know encluding King Tut's Tomb. Which was
financed by the British. Today we enjoyed the beautiful gardens that are on Kitchners Island.
