Luxor

Can you believe it?  We are here in the Valley of the Kings! George and King Tut!  Everything is bigger and more vast than one can imagine.  

Here at the Temple of Ramesses III the hieroglyphics are everywhere... Each image carved into stone so precisely with vibrant colors so many thousands of years ago. Every cartouche conveys so much meaning.

The Nile River was unbelievably blue and right outside our window at the Steigenberger Hotel -- our balcony looked out on this scene with the Valley of the Kings in the background.

With so many pictures of both the Luxor Temple and Temple of Karnack it was impossible to choose -- so here we are at the entrance to Luxor Temple.
