These are sesame plants. They are planted in Egypt during the summer and the stalks are saved after the harvest to use for fencing and thatching.

I've wondered what a sesame plant looked like.
Interesting! About how tall do they get?
Sesame grows to about 150 to 180 cm. Quite tall.
Oh how interesting, thanks! I love sesame, and never thought to wonder what the plant looks like. It looks a bit like rampaging basil going to seed. Thanks!
