Well it has been awhile since we posted anything…life got too busy…internet access to social internet sites a constant struggle, but going to try and catch back up…
We spent the last part of our trip in Luxor (back in December!), home to the Valley of the Kings and the Karnak Temple. By the way, if you are going to visit Egypt I would strongly suggest December or January. Even in December these places were still very warm, cannot imagine what they would be like during the hotter months.
In the Valley of the KIngs we went into several of the tombs, they started to look the same after a while, but certainly a worthwhile site to visit. No cameras were allowed so we only have pics of the entrance.
Most impressive in Luxor was the Karnak temple. Huge obelisks and columns were everywhere and a several kilometer pathway of Sphinx statues led the way to the temple. Amazing what the Egyptians accomplished thousands of years ago.
The two days in Luxor pretty much wrapped up our trip to Egypt. We took a flight the next day back to Cairo and then got a connecting flight to Dubai. Egypt was a fantastic journey and we had a great guide, which helped tremendously.
