Cutting Letters From Mat Board

Upper Egypt ... grrr!

Hi all our readers!

Small development of avanr begin to tell you our latest adventures, photos are not ours! Indeed it would be too complicated in a cyber cafe to upload our images, especially since the speed of the internet is not always there and that you should cables etc. ...

Since the last message sent to Luxor, we slowed the pace pa evil because
- it's hot (but less than in the desert)
- we are tired
- ruins ca drunk at the end of a time
- Upper Egypt (ie the upper nil) c is a haven for touts of all kinds (felloques, taxis, calleches, boats ...) and that each trip is almost a cross to bear!

Resume of our 4 day tour of Luxor
famous temples of Karnak and Luxor . Beautiful every 2, and always very well restored with almost any group ... what needs to be a luxury cruises in winter or should unload tourists operatorise round all day long. No longer believe what we tell: the egypt in summer this is not a thing for crazy, it's hot but certainly if we didn't have the air conditioning all day long in its boat / hotel in the bus in its restaurant ... s are used to it without any problem! QQ
photos ... not us!

Temple of Luxor ... with the world (we were alone!)

Temple of Karnak

Sunset from a fellouque on banana island, island or we walk in the bananas (and we eat or!)

The famous fellouques

Visit the Theban necropolis on the west bank of Luxor.
site has breathtaking c is so nice. The truth is that we love we walk on the mountains between the valley of kings and other sites but it was too hot vriament. The graves are beautiful and although like the pyramids of Giza are found a lot of people (day cultural people who chopent cancers of the skin on the beaches of Hurghada or Sharm el cheich) were never been more than 5 a time in the tombs. C is very beautiful but also very expensive!

The Valley ...

Detail of a painting

directtion Then (still in the same corner) lefameux Hatshepsut temple which once is not usual is smaller in real life in that picture ... even if it is even big enough ... qd brief here's a photo to get an idea .. false!


Encore 2 3 tips but I do not give the details ... c is the ruins a bit, after it sucks!! Drunk

of Luxor, we go south to Aswan hoping to find a little peace and other things to see

Aswan
Superb site at the first cataract (+ - fast on the Nile River and tighten with full of rocks)
For the moment we walk on Elephantine Island
Nubian village on Elephantine

Inch Allah!
