Marty strikes an Egyptian pose.
Cats! There were cats everywhere in Egypt, running around all of the monuments and temples. Marty was cuter than the kitty as he captured this shot.
We continued our float down the Nile, catching glimpses of more pastoral life.
Here’s another picture of those unfinished buildings we would see throughout Egypt.
We caught sight of a few ships that had run into trouble.
When we arrived in Luxor in the late afternoon we went to tour the Luxor Temple. Marty would have made a good Pharoah, don’t you think?
There were a few wispy clouds that made for a beautiful sunset. It rarely ever rains in Egypt. They said on the one or two days per year that it does rain, everyone goes outside and just stands looking up, enjoying the miracle.
Touring the temples in the evenings is the best. The weather is cooler and you get to see them in the light of the sun and then as they turn up the lights for the night.
They truly look like they are made of silver and gold.
