It is the only tree around but it is all this Egyptian family needs to enjoy a day out. And for extra relief from the heat a trench dug around the trunk of the tree does the trick — plus for anyone wanting to take off his shirt or pants – the branches of the tree serve as coat hangers.
More from Egypt soon

Thank you for that useful information

With a few dollars a day to feed their big families – let’s count our blessings
