Luxor - Egypt

A romantic evening! A horse and carriage ride in Luxor with our new friend.
Luxor Temple in the evening.
Karnak Temple,which was one of our favourites has the largest Obelisk in Egypt. We rented bikes and rode to the temples and museum.
The hypostyle hall. This temple covers 30 hectares and is one of the best preserved.
Medinet Habu - Temple of Ramses III had some of the most beautiful carvings ! We are leaning lots of hieroglyphics!
– Baksheesh! Baksheesh! Baksheesh! (Tip! Tip! Tip!) …is heard continually and if you pay sometimes you are given special privileges like taking a photo in the Luxor Museum!

I'm a friend of Cara's and I just wanted to compliment you on the wonderful blog and taking the opportunity to travel like this. It's a wonderful thing. My son, Liam is homeschooled and we are studying Ancient Egypt right now. He was so excited to look at your blog (much better than reading from a book without many pictures). Thanks so much!
