A festival is waiting in the next city down the river, and pixel Cleopatra has decided to arrive in style: on the golden royal barge, sail up and oars ready. The only thing standing between her and the party is the Nile itself, which this morning seems to be the busiest street in Egypt. On the riverbanks, everyone is already talking about the Royal Barge Race.
Fishing boats bob along with their nets out, reed rafts drift wherever the current takes them, a crocodile pretends to be a log and a family of hippos has stopped for a bath in the middle of the river. Lotus flowers float in the lanes like little gifts. Collect them, steer clear of everyone and give the festival an entrance it will remember.
