When we were crossing the Bridge from the east to the west bank of the river Nile I spoted the statues on both sides. I supose they are new but nevertheless, they have the nice symbolic meaning. The statues represented Hous, the anciant god of predynastic Egypt, later addopted as a god in pharaoh's times. This falcon statues were put here to "protect" the souls of the dead.

I know why we all go to Luxor and I agree that the most important is to see the anciant monuments but if you have some time go aside from the main bulevards and beautiful cornishe to see what real life looks like for many who live there.
