The head of the state of Egypt is the president elected for 6 years by direct general election. The head of the state is nominated by large powers. He appoints and displaces the government. From 1981 after Anvar Sadat's killing the president of Egypt is Hosni Mubarak. I was interested in Hosni Mubarak's deals with the USSR.
Mubarak visited the USSR in 1950th many times where he was trained in flights on modern types of planes which the Soviet Union was delivering to Egypt. In 1959 he has been appointed by the commander of a squadron of bombers ŇU-16. I know this plane well and was trained in its maintenance in 1970th. In several years he became the commander of the brigade. He has received the high military education in the USSR, in the Academy of Frunze in which he studied in 1964-1965. He speaks Russian not bad, he high appreciates planes of the Soviet manufacture.
Portraits of Mubarak on streets have reminded me Soviet times when we often saw portraits of our states heads in the diversified places as well.

The flag of Egypt represents a panel with three equal horizontal strips of red, white and black color. In the middle of the white strip there is a State Emblem of gold color - the eagle with the head turned to the left and the straightened wings.
We saw Egyptian flags on check points of the militarized guard.
Entrance and departure in Luxor are decorated with the picturesque arch. Nearby there is a small park with fountains. There is a check point of the militarized guard. The channel is well visible along the highway leading to the bridge across the Nile.

Lots of interesting ruins to visit and explore! Temples such as Luxor and Karnak certainly look amazing. River Nile cruise indeed sounds wonderful to us. We hope to visit Luxor one day. ~ho & pang | toonsarah Fri Feb 20, 2009 21:05 UTC
Thanks for bringing back good memories of our visit to Luxor. Like you I was impressed by Karnak and by being on the Nile itself, though we only took a felucca for an hour, not a cruise | rosegirl Mon Mar 17, 2008 15:00 UTC
