The Suez Canal - Final Photos

I have just been told that my Skype is unfixable, which is really disappointing, but I do hope that at least this fourth attempt to post the remainder of my photos of the Suez Canal works.

Aha - at last! Enjoy!

Another sculpture on the Egyptian side to celebrate the opening of the new canal, near the sphere shown in the last post.  

Notice how smooth the water is, apart from the ripples caused by the ship, and its interesting colour. This is the Egyptian side.

The only bridge across the canal - and what an impressive one! on the Sinai desert side. We also saw the occasional barge laden with cars crossing the canal. 

I am not certain which Egyptian city this is, but at least it was close to the edge of the canal. 

The tall towers were used to broadcast the call to prayer. The fence is still there, though we saw a train travel along the canal side of it.

Growing crops on the outskirts of Cairo.
