On the Farm

Egypt style

My friend Mo’s family own a farm in the delta, near Damanhur, which they so graciously invited me to visit. I was thrilled because I had been wanting to see a farm here for some time. I love farms. Tilled earth and animals and and non-stop fun.

I was most excited to see how the irrigation works. Mo’s dad, Moataz, gave me an amazingly in-depth tour of the entire operation and showed us the whole irrigation system. It was truly fascinating.

The trade-off was that I had to ride a horse, which I hate, but was fun, regardless. I had a blast.

There is a podcast in the works from the audio that I collect on this day—which will include some videos of the pump and water-wheel in action. Stay tuned for that and in the mean time, enjoy these pictures.
