Busy 24 hrs here. Last night: Luxor Temple.
The matching obelisk that used to stand the right of this one was given to Napoleon and now stands in the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
Luxor columns.
Early morning hot air balloon ride over the Luxor west bank. Other side of this mountain is the Valley of the Kings.
Turning around, the Nile at Luxor.
Balloon down, on to the Valley of the Kings with some 60 royal tombs. We went down into 3 of them.
Entrance to the tomb of King Tut (not one of the 3 we chose to enter)
Finally, Karnak Temple. Here the Avenue of the Ram Headed Sphinxes (it was too dark for me to photograph the Avenue of the regular Sphinxes at Luxor the night before.)
Karnak's 130+ giant columns.
For scale, that's Mrs Lou P among the columns.
Remember the scene in The Spy Who Loved Me where Bond and Barbara Bach play hide and seek with Jaws? It was here. YaY!
