After visiting Abu Simbel, I joined a shared mini-bus to see the Temple of Isis at Philae. On the bus, was a very nice mother and daughter duo exploring Egypt together. It was a pleasure to meet them and to know that they were not only from the states, but also shared my views on fair trade. In fact, the mother, Nancy, owns the Ancient Oracle Company, a fair trade store in which she plans to sell imports from Egypt. I was excited to know that I had met her on her mission of "traveling to the ends of the Nile and through the Desert lands of Egypt searching out the very best in Fair Trade handcrafted treasures from the Bedouins, Berbers & Nubian Tribes of Egypt," as she states on her web site. I hope she found what she was looking for and that you find what you are looking for at her online store.
