A little bit of Christianity!!

We woke around 7am and had breakfast before deciding to visit Coptic Cairo. After we packed our bags and checked out we took a chance on the metro (train) which was a short walk from the hotel up 26th July Street. It cost 2 egp return to get to Coptic Cairo. The train station was surprisingly clean – for some reason I expected a really seedy station! The distance was pretty short and city gates are right outside the train station. Had a good look around St Georges church, synagogue, the...

Luxor Temple & Karnak


Up early as usual and we had breakfast of bread rolls, yoghurt, juice, fruit and lots of tea. Decided to visit the Temple of Karnak which covers over 2sq km. It's main structure, the temple of Amun is the largest building ever built which was where the god lived on earth with his wife Mut and son Khonsu. The site contains many sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and 2 great obelisks. The earliest structures here date back to 1965-1920 BC. We entered through the avenue of Ram
headed sphinxes, p...

And yet, at the same time Khalid said, as anyone who opposed the Iraq War knows, "Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, but he was the best dictator for that country." <br><br>Khalid used conflict to justify authoritarianism and a lack of democracy, but ironically it seems like a somewhat ...

... way they are and his insight is making this trip even more exciting. I got a bit of the travelers flu this morning and was not my chipper self but trooped through it. We get on our cruise ship and will travel down the Nile for four days. Tomorrow we visit the Valley of the Kings (where several tombs were located), Temple of Hatscheput, Colossus of Memnon and visit an alabaster quarry/factory.

Luxor 1

Kom Ombo Temple Following my near-sleepless night on the Felucca, we disembarked at Luxor for a day of temples. Our first was Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, and with a name that sounds like a Mario Kart course. There were some interesting friezes of pharoahs and gods lining the many columns, and a spot where some important thing happened to Cleopatra, yet only a few of us decided to enter this temple. I ...

... path leading out of the Temple. In ancient times the Temples of Karnak and Luxor were connected by these sphinx statues for the entire 4 km path. Our imaginations ran wild with the thought of how amazing these 2 immense temples would have looked with the Avenue of the Sphinxs connecting the two as the Nile runs alongside. No wonder Egyptians believed the Pharaohs were God on earth.<br><br> Inside Luxor temple there&#8217;s a pretty amazing illustration of religious history ...

... nerfs tiennent). Je partirai mardi 7 a 19h de la gare de la ville, pour rejoindre la capitale ou j'arriverai au petit matin. Si mes plus grands plaisirs arabes furent jusqu'ici lies a la farniente, au temps solitaire pris a s'inspirer du va et vien des egyptiens, gageons (sic) que le Caire offrira quelques bienvenus bonheurs typiquement culturels. Pardon pour les accents, clavier americain... les photos arriveront une fois que je serai au Caire ! En voici quelques unes tout de meme.

... on toward Luxor. Fiona and Tatiana swam in the pool on the top deck and then enjoyed the warmth of the sun. The Nile views were breathtaking. Sometimes the desert comes right down to the water, sometimes there are fairly wide strips of green on both banks: fields of grass and palm trees surrounding mud brick villages. We saw camels, horses and donkeys carrying various loads. <br><br>This was ...
