Creator's Key Takeaways

Beautiful sunny day. I see somebody out in a boat across the way.

Welcome to Esna. Here on the right are the gallabas, the main style for men.

This is the oldest mosque. Here's a tailor. He's making the gallabas and the vests that go over them.

We are just going to explore from the outside only. There's more of the market.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Offer half the price when purchasing items and haggle higher if you wish.
Use the ship's window to view salesmen if you don't want to deal with the hassle.

YouTube Video Description

Walk through the old city of Esna, Egypt on my tour with Viking River Cruises during our stop. See the oldest mosque built in the 600's AD; visit the oldest oil grinding wheel known; view the Esna Temple from the outside; Walk by homes and businesses selling their wares: cotton, fabric, baked goods, coffee, handmade stamps, and shop keepers trying to convince you that you need to buy from them.
