Day 22 Luxor

Today was the day for being a tourist! Our goal for Luxor was to see the Valley of the Kings and the temple of Hatshepsut. Luckily (one of) the local tourist information points had a tour just for us! Salem and his driver took us on a private tour of the sites.

This is the only picture from the Valley of the Kings, as we sere not allowed to take the camera inside the area. We were given a pass to visit 3 tombs. Amazing how the paintings have lasted for over 3000 years. Wonder if this blog will exist in the year 5010?
Included in the price was a visit to a shop where they sold stones. :)
And finally back at our nice safe hotel where we spent the afternoon by the pool... ah the life of the tourist!
