A general view of feluccas moored to the bank of the River Nile near Cairo, Egypt. They are connected to the shore by footplanks and one is discharging a cargo of bricks. Other cargo stacked on the shore include a bagged commodity, stone and pottery. Two camels and a donkey are on the foreshore which is backed by palm trees. A few single storey buildings that resemble wartime defences line the top of the bank.
