What can i say about egypt. Absolutely awesome... I loved Luxor. Again the culture of the place has alot to do with why i loved it so much. The way in which the people are so diffrent, transport the things they eat, the houses etc. The temperature was right up their. I couldnt lie beside the pool for even 3mins it was like a river of sweat running of me, and my feel were getting scoulded on the stones. Anyway the forst few days we just relazed in the hilton hotel we were staying at. The 3rd day my brother and I decided to adventure into town in taxi, WHAT A EXPERIENCE THAT WAS !!. Once we had survived the crazy taxi ride and bartered with the taxi driver, we ended up locked in a shop lol. The guy wasnt going to let us leave until we bought something. Anyway eventually I got myself out. We looked around the town at the poor parts aswell as the wealthier areas.

Awesome picture of the nile beside hotel.
holiday to Egypt was seeing the Luxor temple at night all floodlit, seeing all the carving the egyptions had done on all the huge stone colums. And then the other best part was the valley of the kinds where tuttankhamun's tomb was. Awesome absolutely great being inside the tombs. And also the famous palace which i'll put a picture up of was also good. Id definately go back to egypt, such an interesting and historic place. But next time I want to see Cairo and the pyramids... 😊
