Day 5 - Luxor
We arrived in Luxor, a touristy city, and visited Karnak Temple which I thought was brilliant.
|
| Rusha, our guide, gave us great "sound bites" of Egyptian ancient history |
|
| There were some good examples of colours preserved in Karnak temple |

| Karnak Temple in Thebes, Luxor |
|
| Karnak Temple is the largest temple complex ever built by man |
|
| It was quite amazing to see how well the colours have survived thousands of years |

| An obelisk towers over the temple complex |
|
| A colourful carving of Horus, the falcon god |
|
| I loved the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 huge columns. We were dwarfed by them. |
