Egypt Part. 3

Sorry this is so late, I have a part-time job now and hardly find any free time.  I need to post some more Egypt pictures before we go to Sicily in April.  The last time I posted we were notified we got two of our luggage.  Surprise!! We arrived at the airport and  All four of our suitcases were there.  They made it through the Egyptian uprising and the clothes were clean and folded.  They weren't touched...  God is good all the time.



They had a nice New Years Eve dinner for us on the ship in Luxor.  The kids weren't that impressed other than the tomato that was on fire.



 

 

Saturday morning we visited the Karnak Temple ( a photo of what it might have looked like.  The complex is huge.

This is the base of one of the columns

You can see the cartouch (family name) in the circle.  Also there were all these columns, if they were closed on the top like a lotus flower  that meant it was night

The top of this column lotus  is open so it meant day.  There were so many columns the kids started getting bored with the tour so we took a break and played "hide and seek" around the columns.  It was fun.

 





Doesn't this look like the Washington Monument?  They had quite a few of these at Karnak Temple

We visited one more Temple the Luxor Temple before we went on our 4wheel Safari that evening.



Sunset on the Sahara Desert

We didn't take any pictures of us 4 wheeling in the desert because they made a DVD for us that has it live.  That sums up the cruise in Egypt.  We boarded a plane and we were off to Cairo next.  That will be part. 4.
