The Sphinx at the Giza-Plateau, in the background
on the left the Mykerinos Pyramid and on the right the Chefren Pyramid,
the Cheops Pyramid is a little further on the right.
Already the entrance hall of the Egypt Museum in
Cairo is nearly packed with exhibits. Here, like everywhere, you have to
pay 1-2 Euros if you want to take your camera (no flash), a video camera is 15-20
Euros!
View at Cairo from Cairo-Tower. In the opposite
direction one can see the Pyramids in the distance, but not very clear
because of the smog.
The Karnak Temple is only a few kilometers outside
of Luxor. For visiting the Temple you better plan with 2-3 hours.
The Luxor Temple (right inside the town) was former
connected with the Karnak Temple by Sphinx Alley. Today one can see the
alley only on a few sites, because the town was build on top of it. At
night the temple is lit very nice, therefore I recommend to visit it at
nightfall.
Hatshepsut's Temple should be on every tour and
usually it is.
Note the massive crowds of tourists on this
and the other photos!
