Luxor- Trip 1





From Cairo, I took a plane to Luxor- the Nile isn't high enough this time of the year to take a boat, which would have been my preference. Today I went to three temples in Luxor- Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and the Hatshepsut Temple. They were all great, but it was very hot. It is amazing how far down into the ground the King's temples were. The paintings and carvings inside are beautiful- some look like they have been created yesterday. The photos are all from Hatshesput- pictures weren't allowed at the other sites, but the landscape looks the same at them all.
