Harvest
Luxor was the ancient capital of Upper Egypt during the New Kingdom period. The incredible monuments from this era draw in thousands of tourists every year, but agriculture is also important to the local economy. Despite the desert climate, large farms exist on the outskirts of the city and this recording captured a sugar cane harvest and the helpful donkeys in early 2019.
