Wafaa-Al-Nil Festival

The Annual Wafaa Al-Nil Festival, meaning the "Fidelity of the Nile," is a celebration of the floods that aided crops to grow in the days of the ancient Egyptians. The river was endeared by the Pharaohs who used to sacrifice beautiful girls to the river believing it would guarantee a good harvest. Today's Egypt stages a contemporary version of the event with art competitions for children, poetry reading, concerts and scientific discussions.
