Last weekend we spent in Luxor, 1 hour flight from Cairo. Our friends, Jan & Esther, had gone there just a few weeks before, and we had become curious to the temples and tombs.
Luxor is the ancient Egypt as you would imagine it to be: tombs, statues, obelisks, Sphinx, giant temples, the Nile... So much different then the Gize pyramids ! Really very beautiful !
The weather was also pleasantly warm for January: around 25 degrees.
We stayed in a little hotel, Mara House, an oasis in the otherwise unattractive and dirty town of Luxor. The town has so much potential, but locals are poor and to our opinion, have gotten lazy because of all the money tourism brings to the town.
Well worth a visit.
