biggest after the EgyptianAntiquitiesMuseum in Cairo.
Every week they have an entertaining evening at the so called Fellah's tent, where for £28 per head you are given the traditional robe called a galabaya in different bright colours and sent out on a Felucca for half an hours sailing to watch the sunset, oh and to work up an appetite. You then land at the bottom end of the Island and after a short walk you arrive at what can only be described as a really large bedouin tent. You are taken to your table and are given wine beer and soft drinks for the rest of the evening. You then get a chance to participate in the odd dance or two, then they put on a snake charming act, then there is singing and dancing and folklore shows after that the buffet starts. What a treat, it was brilliant and plenty of it, we were up two or three times and by ...

We got lucky I had our camera in my hand bag. Please be sure to travel on the airplane in the most comfortable traveling attire in case your luggage gets lost. In the beginning it made our trip and bit stressful, but after losing hope of finding the luggage ...

Advantages: Better than my dream, romance, culture Disadvantages: The troubled Middle East
. Once we were free of our group we bought an entry ticket for three tombs, including the then newly opened Tutankhamun.
The knowledge that Tutankhamun lay undisturbed for over 3000 years until the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 and that the Pharaoh’s remains are still in the coffin is unbelievable. The full impact of the discovery Carter made was yet to hit us when we were to visit the EgyptianMuseum in Cairo, where we would see thousands of treasures and antiquities that were buried with the young Pharaoh, giving evidence of the culture, sophistication, social life and the belief the Ancient Egyptians had in the afterlife from 3500 thousand years ago.
As we had lost our return coach trip to Luxor, we hired a taxi from one of the ever entrepreneurial local drivers waiting for business, parked in the middle ...
