In Luxor, we went to the Karnak Temple, went on a feluca ride (sailboat) to Banana Island, a carnival which was across the street from our hotel, and to the infamous El Souk Bazaar.

Egypt Part 4 of 4 - Luxor to Cairo to Giza to Cairo to the air

Egypt Part 4 of 4

Welcome to part 4 of a four part series:
Clyde & Monica - The Egyptian Week.

Part four features: More pictures of our day in Luxor, and a trip to the El Hussein restaurant.
We visited both the Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum's but we were not allowed to take pictures inside. We attempted to walk through the city to the airport and saw the real Luxor. We took a plane back to Cairo and took pictures from the Cairo Tower, the highest point in the city. We walked over the Tahrir Bridge and took various pictures as we walked through the metropolis center called Tahrir Square (including fast food restaurants, statues, and assorted people.) We hopped on the metro and attempted to go to Cairo University. After a dangerous cab ride, we partied at La Deenar one last time.

We also saw the Egyptian Museum which houses mummies of ancient royalty and other artifacts that we weren't allowed to photograph.

You will see pics of a rural area on our way to Memphis.

As we leave Egypt, we both think if you haven't gone.... GO! And if you have... go again! It was a real treat!
