Luxor

---

The visit to Luxor was spread across a couple of days with visits to the Luxor Temple at Night, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of Queens, Colossi of Memnon and the enormous temple of Karnak.

The best part of the Valley of the Kings and Queens are hidden in memory due to the no photo rule. The vivid colors and detail work in the tombs of Tausert, Thutmes III, and Ramses (one of them???) was the best seen to date on the tour. Tutankhamen was an extra, and only worth the visit under tourist status, not that impressive, but of course, the most notable and famous and after seeing the riches in Cairo museum a must.

Valley of the Queens also impressive and Karnak temple was the highlight. Its seams that every pharaoh added their bit at Karnak. But the most impressive section was that of Ramses II, over 160 enormous columns with beautiful detail. This concluded the ancient part of the Egyptian tour, with the next stop, after and overnight bus ride, the resort town of Dahub.
