Esna Lock

When we approached the town of Esna, we had to wait our turn and pass thru their lock system. There are actually two locks at the bridge. The first one was built in 1906 and the second one was added in the late 90s. We enter the lock two boats at a time, the canal doors close, the water level is raised 6 meters, the front doors open, and we make our way south. Easy enough.
