23.33 - Today saw arguably one of the highlights of our tour with Karnak Temple but also one of the lowlights as it was our last day together as a group. Although we had an early start, it was late compared to yesterday. We had a quick, **** breakfast at the hotel before getting a horse kalesh to Luxor Temple. The main reason for our early start...

During our overland journey, I've been reading about travel writer Paul Theroux's overland adventures from Cairo to Cape Town in his Dark Star Safari. Visiting the same countries as him, although he saw Mozambique and Zimbabwe whereas we went through Namibia and Botswana, he traveled mainly by public transport and stayed in local hotels. Most of...

Notre croisiere sur le Nil s'est terminee a Luxor qui est une tres belle et riche ville comparee au Caire. Nous y avons visite plusieurs temple de l'ancien empire (la vallee des Rois et Vallee des Reines ou se trouvent des tombeaux de pharaons et de leurs reines) et aussi des musee qui renferment biens des tresors de ces epoques. Certains des te...

Despite a late night, I awoke with a smile on my face. I just can't help it - I'm having the time of my life and no amount of sleep deprivation can take that away! We started our tour early - 7am to be exact - with the West Bank of Luxor as our destination and The Valley of the Kings as our first stop. The valley is filled with tombs, 63 if you ...

In Luxor, we went to an alabaster shop and learned how the made alabaster vases by hand. It was a fascinating process that includes burying the stone in the sand. Then we went to the Luxor temple. We saw the temple at night, and it was beautiful. This temple had a school for the royal children, and it is the temple where Moses studied. That nigh...

Well this early start proved to be even harder...but Karnak temple is very impressive so was certainly well worth the visit. It has a couple of oblisks, one very well preserved, the other a little worn out and the third with only it's top left lying in a little enclosure...well really if they will hand them out around the world! Karnak is 60 Acr...

Today we arrived in Luxor at 5:00 am. We were able to board a cruise ship (not ours) and take baths before we met our guide and visited the temples at 10:00. Our guide is Mohammed. He is a very nice and well educated man. He is the guide that they assign to US Congressmen and Ambassadors when they visit, so we are lucky to have him. He was raise...

Today we found yet another taxi driver to reach the Valley of the Queens, which is also located on the West Bank of the Nile. Like the Valley of the Kings, it was hoped that its location would help keep it hidden from tomb robbers. Unfortunately this did not prove to be the case and the tombs were also robbed. Not only queens are buried here but...
