Al Karnak museum in Luxor (main gates)
Deep in the Heart of Egypt

Located Southern Egypt along the river nile bank which we call in arabic (Al Saeed), is the spot that has, still and will inspire not only Egyptians but the entire world.
LUXOR.
Thats where 1 third of the world's history and monuments are staying in peace. Known also to be the biggest open museum on earth.
I cant say much about it cause there are unlimited resources that will for sure give you a better view and background of the place.
The only thing to say is that when i am in Luxor I am confused between 2 strong feelings. The feeling of being proud and in the same time the feeling of being weak and speachless.
Welcome to Luxor. The Gates are opened.

Most tourists use the nile cruise floating hotels. In my opinion it is a very nice idea cause it gives you a super relaxation load. In such mood you will have your senses very alert to catch small details that you would never imagined you would notice.
The cruise will take you from luxor to aswan and back or the opposite.
There are different types of cruises but go for the 5 stars ones, they are safer and with swimming pools.
You will also have the chance to go topless for sun bathing.
Hold yourself back cause this is an experience that your grand children will enjoy.

Pros and Cons
