About the Bank of the Nile in 1960


I am looking at the picture ofthe Bank of the Nile in 1960 I think it speak about history of Nile in Khartoum.
The sun was shining in Omdurman in April the weather was very hot on the left side the bank you can see two men cut apiece of wood. They finished cutting the water carrying I think, that he take it to home.
We can see the dealer came to the coast, he came to make sure the shipment of certain packet on barges for transport to the coast and on the other hand, it seems that he came by donkey He will return after end of work to his shop.
You can also see an aeroplane flying in the sky and apparently it will not come down here. We can see boats, which carry the packet from and to Tutti Island. It lies in the middle between Khartoum, Bahri and Omdurman. It was not finished all the cargo so it did not sail. Now there are no boats to carry packets there.
Now the Nile is very diffrient because it is not very nice. Finely it is very terrible I think the people are still very simple .
