Last of Egypt

LUXOR, EGYPT


After a grueling bus ride from Dahab we made it to Luxor, which turned out to be one of our favorite places in Egypt.  We were lucky to find a really good taxi driver, Hassan, who ended up being our guide around the City for a couple days.  We also found a great value hostel where we met some other travelers.  Here are a few pics from the last portion of our stay in Egypt.

Luxor Temple at night, much cooler and less crowded than during the day

 Hassan showed us around the West Bank of the Nile and Banana Island.  We had tea with his family after a donkey ride around his village.

Later, when he was tired, the donkey rode on Rob's back.  

The west bank of Luxor is lush farming community unlike the dry scorched land around the rest of the city.   

Cass with new hat just in time for the Valley of the Kings where it was like 40 (Celsius).

From Luxor took a train back to Cairo and then a flight to Kenya... next post will be soon from Kenya.
