While they have a friendly appeal, the houseboats softly rocking on the Nile actually have a long history in all kinds of activities throughout many centuries.
Fortunately, there were places which offered a better view of the boats. In some cases, doors were open and I walked in. In one case, an old man who was cutting the hedge of one of the gardens, waved is hand at me, and with a gesture of his hand, invited me in. He turned out to be a proud gardener, and indeed, his small garden on the border of the river Nile was something to see. Although we unfortunately did not speak any language in common, he still let me smell the flowers, taking them off and handing them over to me. After a while, he proceeded to the back of the garden where i could see a completely closed shack. Only when we stepped through the opening, I understood the function: it was hot and humid inside, and he had tropical plants. A greenhouse without the glass.
