The photo above shows the First Pylon at Karnak Temple As soon as I stepped off the plane at Luxor airport I realised that late November is an ideal time to visit southern Egypt. I could feel a warm, dry breeze on my face when I left the plane.

Egypt glorious Egypt
Anyone travelling to have a taste of Egypt, be it temples, tombs, new sensations or adventures would not be disappointed with Luxor - it would oblige the traveller readily as your pictures testify - great pictures which tell many stories... how parts of the world have barely changed , people still dress in their traditional dress , they follow their customs and traditions , live simply and some skilfully fleece you . Anyway mate, I would like to give the butcher and all that dead flesh a miss .. gruesome :-(
