After cruising north from ASWAN via EDFU, we reached and docked in LUXOR! We spent a busy day in the Magnificent KARNAK temple and then the LUXOR temple too .. followed by the SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW IN KARNAK ..
Thanks again to GATE I TRAVELS ( Marina Ponocevnaia and Aharoni Zisling ) and our fantastic TOUR OPERATORS Riham and Nihal !
KARNAK temple was imposing to say the least ; the avenue of the Sphinxes , the MASSIVE COLUMNS AND PILLARS of the Hypostyle… the lake .. every place we looked we were overawed !
LUXOR temple had a very impressive PYLON with many statues of RAMSES II.. a shrine for Alexander etc
A NOTE ON SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW:
Many of us were disappointed with the show only because we went with very high expectations!
If you go with lower expectations it’s worth it!
It’s not spectacular but very nice indeed ;
Also, we were all quite tired after a very busy day!
