Advantages: Is pretty interesting & lovely view from the top. Disadvantages: So shiny & new due to shoddy restoration.
As some of you may know I have just returned from a week in Egypt, we started off in Luxor and this was the first site that we visited on our magical mystery tour.
Oh and sorry about the title, I was having trouble remembering her name and our guide told me to remember it as Hat, Cheap, Suit!
~Getting There~
We were booked onto a river cruise, and our boat was docked just outside LuxorTemple, that morning we were all woken up early for a 7am breakfast and then piled onto a coach. The trip from LuxorTemple (on the East Bank of the Nile), by coach to DeirEl-Bahri & Egypt's famous West Bank takes about 20 mins, crossing the river by the only bridge in Luxor, aptly named Luxor Bridge. If anyone stays in Luxor, you will probably be staying on the East Bank, I don't believe that there are any hotels on the West Bank.

Advantages: Intricately detailed temple Disadvantages: Crowds of tourists
with another two backpackers and settled down into a hostel.

Advantages: A very pleasant city with lots of historical background Disadvantages: Very hot during the summer
Tyhe temples at Luxor were absolutley amazing. I was so astounded at the site that I still have those memories of that holiday to egypt.

When I went we had a very good a very good guide and he knew almost everything about egypt. I would hope he does considering he was studing Ancient Egypt at university.
The basic temples are amazing and across the beloved Nile is the tombs of Tutenkarmen. This is the land of the kings and is very good. You can see the tomb of Ramses the III. I really enjoyed this and we went ...
