The wall painting inside the temple, Abu Simbel

This is another 'package-deal' travel story. During the Eid, we spent the couple of days off we had in Egypt - it was an exhausting trip - too little time, too much to see, but it was well worth it.

Egypt is a place everyone must see at least once. If you are already fascinated by the ancient civilizations, then you'd be far from disappointed. If you are not - then all these temples and monuments will do the trick!

Here you will find a short summary of the places we have been and the impressions I had.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Magnificent, enchanting temples, great place to try out your bargaining skills!
Cons:Dusty and dirty roads
In a nutshell:Everyone must 'experience' Egypt for at least once!

Last visit to Egypt: Feb 2003

It's a great pity you couldn't see more. Next time come to CAiro and go to Saqqarah and Giza so that you can show more lovely photos

I've driven alongside the Nile, but would love to get on a boat (ideally manually powered!) and travel down it!

Cruising down the Nile sounds just wonderful : ) Egypt has been one of my dreams for a long time, and Abu Simbel is the #1 place I want to see there!
