The legendary Doum-Palm - a photo on Flickriver

            Picturesque framing of a legendary Doum-Palm. 
An African palm tree 'Hyphaene thebaica' also called  'gingerbread tree', one of the most important useful plants in the world  well known for its therapeutic benefits.
Doum-palm was considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians, and the seed was found in some pharaoh's tombs.
A wild plant widespread in the south of Egypt and many African countries. In ancient Egypt, every Egyptian of standing would have had these trees growing in his garden. 
Shot from the west bank riding down the Nile River to Aswan.
