Setting off last month, Egyptian adventurers Omar El Galla and Omar Hossam embarked on a journey across Egypt, kayaking the length of the Nile, from Abu Simbel all the way to Ras El Bar, where the mighty river meets the Mediterranean Sea.   View this post on Instagram   #theNileOdyssey Day 24 // August 24th, 2020 ‘Sohag (سوهاج) to Tima (طما)’ Distance kayaked: 55 km Total distance kayaked to date: 795 km Yesterday’s rest day really paid off. We felt fresh and the weather conditions were now a lot better. We left Sohag at 9 am and took our first break after 22 km at Ash Shyraniyyah Island (جزيرة الشوارنية). 12 km later we had a short break at Tahta (طهطا) then paddled a further 21 km until we found a good camping spot near Tima (طما). All in all it was a smooth day, we kayaked 55 km, 5 km more than planned, and still felt like we had another 5 km in us.
