We had rain!

The village of Qurna Mereit at sunset, after a sprinkling of rain, a day of clouds, intermittent, hot and sticky sun, wind and finally a dust storm!

Just over the horizon is the Workers (Of the Valley of the Kings) village of Deir El Medina.

If photos had sound, you would hear the wind, which is verging on a hurricane!

It blows through the electricity cables making an eery and timeless groan, whipping up the loose sand and dust from this Ancient Necropolis and depositing it further into the arrid land.

The houses you see, sit on top of the tombs of the once, noble and majestic of this Pharoanic land.
