LUXOR – EAST BANK

Karnak Temple







Luxor Temple





In the afternoon, we did a tour of Karnak and Luxor temples (hiring Nana again, to explain significant points).
Right in the centre of Luxor, it is impossible to capture the grandeur of these ancient Temples, nor summarize the thousands of years of history.... and photos definitely don’t do it justice.

There were many more Obliscs in Luxor Temple ... but were removed/stolen by the countries that helped with excavations. (Its interesting how those countries spiun it that they were a "Gift from Egypt") I shot this photo when in
Istanbul (2006)

Paris (2006)
