20th Anniversary Dream Trip Contest

Great Travel Moment

I was on a cultural trip of Egypt with a group. Our guide in Luxor took us to his home and we ate with his family on the West Bank of the Nile River. This little girl, his daughter, climbed onto the back of our bus. With my camera I captured not a pyramid or the sands of Egypt but a young girl with the future all ahead of her. I tried to think what her future life would be like and what she thought of us tourists invading her home. The only way I could communicate with her was with a smile.
