Monday, June 02, 2008IMAGES OF LUXORAs promised, a heap of photos from our (way too short) trip to Luxor. We hired a personal tour guide, who was very informative & patient with our questions. We took in the 'classical sights' of the West Bank of the Nile, including the Valley of the Kings, the mortury temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir El Bahri), Colossi of Memnon, the Temple of Ramses III & tombs of the Nobles. On the East Bank of the Nile, we walked around the awesome temple of Karnak, with it's truly magnificent Hypostle Hall of 134 columns & the temple of Amenophis III. Looking up to the ceilings, which thanks to being in the shade, still have plenty of the original colour. So there you have it! Click on each photo to appreciate the beauty & brilliance of ancient Egyptians. If I had a dollar for every time I said "wow!" I'd be rich today! There's still so much to see & another trip - hopefully a cruise down the Nile - is something we'd like to do sometime in the future...........................*sigh*
