From Cairo to Luxor

  9 votes
Believe it or not? I made it thru:) I've been overwhelmed by the beautiful ruines, architecture, and heatwave without humidinity at all. (Read more in General description)


It was adventourous trip to spend hours under the strong sunlight, stroll along the small alleys without knowing where I was sometimes. The first Egyptian was a teacher who was away from home for 3 months for training in Japan. He was helpful to find out a bus to town for us. (The numbers are in arabic, and the suggested bus never came. So we took another possible bus that could take us to town) Egypt is a typical modern muslim country, although it isn't a completed moderized by the outside fluence. You may see some girls with their head covered in tight blue jean, and high heel. Business men are in a business suits while most of them are in their usual outfits: a long white shirt, and white trouser. *I'll write more
