To Luxor here we go!

It was a crazy morning. We had to wake at 2 am to catch a flight at 5:30 to Luxor. I had a little bit of a stomach issue and didn’t sleep at all.

Our flight was on time and Bruce took some photos flying over the desert.

Once we arrived in Luxor we were off to Karnak’s Temple. It is one of the world’s largest religious sites and was built over centuries beginning around 1390 BC.

The avenue of the Sphinxes opened in 2021 after over 70 years of excavation.

Obelisks, pylons, and columns each containing carvings telling stories from ancient Egyptian history, stood tall through the complex.

The weather was very warm, in fact, much warmer than Cairo. After our tour, we went to our ship, the MS Farah.

We went to a sound and light show at Karnak Temple last evening after spending the afternoon napping.

The show was entertaining but also brought the history of Karnak Temple in a dramatic presentation.

For dinner, we had lobster and dessert accompanied by live entertainment!
